The last week and a half have been a whirlwind. 16 hours of driving this past weekend, 5 the weekend before. A lot of time spent making and prepping food @ home to take out of town with us. I weighed in this morning the lowest yet, 188, but I did cardio last night so I may have just been depleted of water weight. Either way, I was 190 Monday so the pounds are coming off slowly but surely.
The quad is still not 100%, but I got a half decent lift in on Thursday...Squats, sumo deads, & stiff deads. However, I think I overcompensated for my quad with my back...and it's been killing since. I rested my legs yesterday (should have done deads & iso work) so that I could get a solid lift in on Thursday. Whether that will happen or not is up in the air. As of now anything that stretches my upper quad into my hip flexor is out (lunges, leg extensions, seated calves, possibly step ups), but I should be able to knock out back & front squats along with trap bar deads and maybe leg press.
The cardio plan for this week is 3 30 minute sessions (already did 2 yesterday & today, third one is planned for Saturday evening). Surprisingly, I was able to go full speed on the elliptical and didn't feel any pain whatsoever. A good sign at least, hopefully the improvement will crossover into lifting.
