bw = 158
soreness = right calf alot, left PF barely
aches/injuries = left PF barely
well there goes the plan to jump today .. right calf is just way too sore, def can't do anything.
resting hr test:
- 48 lowest, according to my garmin
- i've never tried to obtain my resting HR with my garmin + chest strap soooo .. will do this maybe once a week.
stepup death session:
- ~24" box height
- ~50 minutes
- 500 total stepups
- each split (except for the very last) is 50 step ups total
- brutal af.
- HR consistently 85-95% of max
- lost ~6 lb of water in 50 minutes
- completely dead by the end .. wanted to actually go for 1 hour, couldn't even do it.



I think I might actually utilize stepups more so than lunges ... less of an eccentric component, but, also more of a hip flexion component. Since the box is ~24" high, I have to flex my hip to ~90 deg in order to get my foot up there. So this may actually be a better exercise than lunges, specifically for sprinting. I mean they are definitely both effective, but high volume stepups might lead to less soreness AND target my hip flexors more. I could manually flex my hip to that position during lunges, but when you get tired it'll suffer. High box stepups forces it.
not sure yet.
