My back isn't at 100%, but it's a lot better than it was a few days ago, thanks in no small part to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rysmiel massaging it while I was in Montreal. This does not mean that I'm going to do the lat pulldowns again any time soon, if ever, nor that I won't be using muscle relaxants or anti-inflammatories when needed. It does mean they're needed less.
Today's workout was skewed more toward the lower-body parts of what I do. If I manage not to have another break before Wiscon, I might even be able to increase the weight on the leg press by then.
Cardio, 18 minutes (plus 30 seconds cooldown), top heart rate 146
Leg press, 250 pounds, 3 sets of 12
Calf raise, 80 pounds, 13, 10; 72.5 pounds, 13
Balance ~fly, 55 pounds, 15 with each leg forward; 50 pounds, 15 with each leg forward
Glute machine, 42.5 pounds, 2 sets of 15 with each leg
Bicep curl, 10 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 20
Crunches, 3 sets of 30. It appears that not only does having done crunches first make leaning on the glute thing uncomfortable, doing the glute thing first makes the crunches hurt some. The glute machine is expendable; it's supposed to help with the squats, and squats aren't essential.
Back arches, 3 sets of 17
Tree, 4 sets of {3 on each leg}, good balance this time
Balance lateral raise, 5 pounds each hand, 15; 2.5 each, 15
