Weights in the morning
I’m seriously so blown away by this. What the heck? How long have these muscles not been firing? Did I just never learn how to properly contract them?
Drew says it will happen after injury. But both of my VMOs, right and left, weren’t contracting properly. Drew checked my left today and it’s better than my right but still not great. There’s slight improvement in my right from yesterday. It’s going to take time to teach my brain to use those muscle fibers.
Out of curiosity, Drew wanted to check my glutes. Turns out I’m not contracting them properly either. I contract my hamstrings with them and it takes a lot of focus to contract them individually. Drew’s kind of amazed because I’m a collegiate athlete, how is my neuromuscular control so off? It’s fine.
Good thing is I know now and can work on getting those muscles to fire properly. I’ll be doing a lot of exercises over the next couple of weeks.
3 miles today because I accidentally went out a half mile farther than I was supposed to. Got talking with Heather and was distracted. Felt good though.
Biked 30 minutes, stretched, rolled out and did exercises.
