Day 26: Stretch day

I have been so heavy into stretching my legs that I often overlook my upper body.  Unfortunate for my upper body, because though I may have an average build, I still have excessive tightness and soreness in the upper back and neck area.  I believe that my injury came from lack of stretching.  So, my focus today, instead of heavy training, I took 15 minutes just to loosen up.

My primary areas were back, biceps and shoulders with mild attention paid to my chest and triceps.  Great session, I felt extra good about my stretches because I warmed up ahead of time for 10 minutes on the treadmill.  Let's reconnect tomorrow, as I'll be doing some isometric training to help build for my next big run in 2 days!  100 pull ups in as quick a time as possible.

Day 14: Stretch and rest

I guess the title can be misleading, considering that I worked out anyways.  My workout primarily focused on pushes, but no pulls.  I kept my workout below 1 hour and took an additional 15 minutes to loosen up my back, biceps and shoulder area.  It felt great to take a day away from my pull ups and I anticipate some growth in my pull ups tomorrow.

I'll see you then!
