Weight training...
Ok here we go...
Today I decided to drop by the school gym and since I was not riding today and tomarrow is just a fast tempo ride (LT intervals on Friday this week) I did a hard leg workout. With limited time I ended up doing Leg Presses, Leg lifts and curls (basically quads and hamstrings). I did 5 sets on each machiene, 12 reps to failure, and I mean to failure with burning, etc, like getting done with a strong interval.
I after the workout I could really feel I did something substantial lower bodywise. My quad and hamstrings were sore and it was a little hard walking up strairs. After about 30 minutes everything felt normal. I am used to after a real hard BT workout on the bike feeling sore and drained for a few hours but I do not feel that way.
That said how do you know you did something weight training? Should you feel sore after a strong workout like that? I find it simular to a sprint workout where arobically I am spent but my legs feel good.
Thanks as always.
