Strength training Monday is here. Well, kind of. I'm not sure what to do for strength training yet. I don't have a program that I've found that appears to be more than just a few strength training exercises that runners should do. It would be nice to show some kind of progression, do X sets of these 5 exercises for a month then move on to this next set of exercises.
I also don't have a method for tracking my strength training that I'm excited about. I've been reading a lot about Bullet Journals, and there are some nice views that I like for running, but I haven't found one for strength training. The ones there only seem to support a few exercises and strength training probably doesn't fit into the same kind of mold that running does for bullet journal tracking. I'm still digging to see if I can find the output of some application or some bullet journal example that will let me track things the way I want. If not I'll try to make up my own.
One leg bridge. I did 2 sets of 6 with each leg. There were pops and snaps in my hips when I did these, this is the first time I've ever done them.
I did two sets of pushups, 10 the first time, then 13 the 2nd. I wasn't pushing myself to my limit my shoulder is popping and snapping with every movement.
I used Green therabands and did the following:
2 sets of rows, 20 reps each.
2 sets of upright rows 10 reps each, my shoulder is popping with ever movement.
2 sets of inner rotator cuff 15 reps
2 sets of outer rotator cuff 15 reps.
1 legged squat 6 on each leg, only one set. this was harder than I expected and I'm not sure I got through a full range of motion.
I also did a plank to see how long I could hold it before my shoulder hurt enough that I had to stop. I made it 45 seconds.
I did all of these and did some strength training but I don't feel like I pushed myself hard enough. And I'm not sure what I should do next.
I'm a big man, 6' 2" and I'm 250 pounds. I'm trying to incorporate running in to my routine for the rest of my life.
