WOW 47 09/14/2011

Shoulder Press
Lat pull down
EF leg press

Upper body exercises are static holds, now with a 90 second target. Leg press is on the Explosive Fitness machine which measures the instantaneous force I am generating and keeps a record of the maximum. On this machine I make one all out effort which takes ~ 5 seconds.

I performed this workout with 1 week of recovery and felt pretty good.  I had taken a couple of days off from Aikido to rest a sore lower back which probably helped the recovery somewhat.  Fortunately my back did not bother me during the workout.  Weights were up on the shoulder press and lat pull.  I managed to improve my EF leg press to  2,246.  This was the 5th EF leg press since I started doing them in early August and I have increased my number each time.  However, the amount of improvement is also falling each time so perhaps about to hit a plateau.

Overall I am happy with the 90 second target.  I wish I had access to a heavy enough leg press machine so that I could use a 90 second target for that as well.
