I did my weights last night. I also tacked on some rowing on the ergometer before and after for good measure with the following results for 1000 meters and 2000 meters, respectively.
3:38.3 1:49.1 26
:54.6 1:49.2 26
:55.2 1:50.4 26
:55.0 1:50.0 26
:53.6 1:47.2 28
8:18.2 2:04.6 24
2:05.9 2:05.9 25
2:05.0 2:05.0 24
2:04.0 2:04.0 25
2:03.7 2:03.7 24
Yes, the second rowing effort was much slower than the first. I did double the distance and my muscles just weren’t into rowing after lifting weights.
About lifting weights … I’m not sure how it is supposed to feel, but it doesn’t seem to hurt. Shouldn’t I be sore or something? I’m loosely, and I mean very loosely, following Tim Ferriss’ routine (just the weights, not the eating) for weight lifting. This month I am doing two thirty minute workouts in the gym. My lifting consists of low repetition, high weight efforts broken up by long breaks – two to three minutes between each set. While I am not hurting after these workouts, I am finding that I can barely complete some of the repetitions. For instance, I did some pull downs. Set the weight and could barely pull it down, repeated this two more times for this set trying to keep a slow, even tempo on the up and down. So, why am I not sore today OR should I be sore – I feel like I am missing something here.
