Weekly Recap (June 29-July 6, 2008)

My numbers were a little strange again this week, but at least there wasn't another unexpected 4-pound weight loss.

I added a few more calories per day last week and gained almost two pounds, even with the new HIIT sprints I introduced.

It was odd that my waist measurement went down nearly an inch, but my body fat percentage didn't budge.

And, again, I've said it a million times that I'm not at all confident in the accuracy of my digital scale, but most of the time it's at least consistently incorrect so I can keep track of the general trends.

I've been improving steadily in HIIT on the exercise bike, but I knew the sprints were going to be far more challenging, and I hadn't done them in a year or more.

The first day was torture, and I went a little harder than I probably should have, because my hamstrings got progressively more sore throughout the week.

Thankfully, they didn't affect weight training at all, even though I could barely straighten my legs after long bouts of sitting.

They are back to about 95% now, and I'll be sure to do plenty of warming up and easing into the sprints this week.

Even though they are extremely hard, they feel a lot more rewarding since you're literally making progress across a field, rather than sitting on a stationary bike.

I'll still work the bike in to keep things mixed up, but I'm going to try to do sprints as much as possible while the weather permits.

This week I did them on Tuesday and Thursday, and as long as I continue to get enough calories to keep up, I'll work my way up to adding a third session on Saturday, just like I had been doing on the bike.

I'm still planning on beginning the new "Maximum Strength" workout in the next few weeks too, just waiting to get the last of the summer traveling out of the way, because I'd like to be in a rhythm and familiar with the plan before I try to take it on the road where a little improvisation is usually necessary.

That about raps it up for this week. See you next Sunday and don't forget you can follow my daily updates over at the forums in this thread: Personal Daily Workout Log.
