27/09/09. REST
Great first week! Handled the hills volume well. Serious DOMS but it was expected.
The volume of PC exercises is super high with only the rehab squats for quads, i’m trying to really hypertrophy the hams, I’ll beast them in GPP when the sprint demands arn’t to high then the ham exercises with become secondary in SPP and they can do there thing on the track rather than in the gym.
It’s good to see your back on here, I really enjoy following you log. Good luck this year!
Thanks man, watch out for big things this year… I got no excuses now.

With the serious DOMS you are experiencing, wouldn’t EMS Active Recovery program help?
Yes! It was glued to my legs all summer on recovery mode :D, infront of the TV or computer, works great… I just havn’t had time to use it for the last couple of weeks as I’ve been moving into a new house and starting my MSc. I’ll crack it out soon! I can’t wait to use it during max strength.
The Active Recovery EMS program is supposed to help decrease DOMS by a lot if you use it within a couple of hours after your most strenuous training sessions.
Were can I find this program?
Yea I remember you posting something about it else where. Thats when I’ve been using it, when I get home from workout…
Chris, I have a Globuse Elite and it’s one of the first functions in the booklet. It’s like vibration, lotsa small contractions… really heats the muscle aswell.
