Current Assessment

Yesterday's workout was aborted due to crazy soreness in my thighs.

Spent the day trying to determine if I hurt myself or if I was just suffering heavy DOMS due to complete and total sloth.

Well, didn't feel the sharp, deep pain that comes from injury. So, DOMS.

What I did this morning seemed to work well.

In a given minute, for twenty minutes I did the following:
A body weight squat, followed by a ten second rest four times, followed by 2 girl push ups. No rest between push ups, but I did rest for the rest of the minute.

Doing things this way allowed for 40 girl push ups and 80 body weight squats over 20 minutes.

The squats didn't have me breathing as hard with this pause and the push ups were ridiculously easy this way.

I'll add another push up per minute tomorrow, but I'm not going to mess with the squats until #1 the DOMS are manageable and #2 I'm not breathing as hard.


Update:
As of Friday my DOMS were down to just a mild soreness

I'm not going to mess with my squats for the time being, but I've upped my my push ups to 4 a minute. I will start jumping that higher next week.
