Dufisthenics

Today the gym was significantly less crowded than Monday.  Perhaps the old people flock to the gym on Monday’s to burn off those weekend early bird special dinners.

Today was also the first time doing a leg workout at Planet Fitness.  As I mentioned last week, one of the downsides of the gym is there is no squat rack.  Although I appreciate how good of a movement squats are it is not going to break my heart if I can’t do them.  The other leg equipment is high quality Cybex stuff so that will suit me fine.

I could feel discomfort in the back of my left knee/upper calf while doing the leg curls. Two weeks ago I tweaked it between the combo of cycling and slacklining the same day.  Riding this past weekend aggravated it some more.  I have had lots of knee problems as an adult but this is a pain location that is new to me.
