Are you doing leg extensions, to full extension?

Not doing any weight lifting at the moment.

My legs could have been this way for years in years.

[RaginCajun]

Make sure the bike fit is right. Could be with where your seat position is from front to back. IT bands always need the roller when biking. If your heart rate is in your aerobic zone (between 60 and 80 percent) you should be able to ride every day.

Don't have a problem with HR.

My IT bands have been tight for as long as I can remember.

And what do you mean by IT bands rolling over?

[jdpeters]

Just that you need to foam roll then 2x daily if you ride a lot. Once they get tight then hip flexers then low back... It takes a lot of self maintenance to keep those areas loose.

[Back In Black]

Not doing any weight lifting at the moment.

My legs could have been this way for years in years.

You might need to worry about patellar tracking syndrome. Because you never go to full extension cycling and, if you have tight IT bands, then it's quite possible your kneecaps will start getting pulled over to the outside of the joint. Trust me, it's quite painful.

I would suggest you do leg extensions. Especially the top 15-20% of that movement! it will help with part the vastus medialis that isn't getting fully worked in your cycling. 3 sets of 15 reps couple of times a week. Although when I had PTS I was doing them EOD.

Just my thoughts

Yes, I do feel a lot of tightness right around the top of my knee cap.

Looks like when I get home today from work, that legs will be getting done!

I will try anything at the moment!

[RaginCajun]

Did legs last night and really concentrated on form, especially on the leg ext machine. I didn't go heavy at all, and did one leg at a time.

I need to really stretch and roll them this evening

where you been....in dukkits house again

Spying on me again?

Been dealing the death of a real close friend that we laid to rest over the weekend.

I plan on getting a plan together and it will start tomorrow morning!

I still need to do yoga and girls in yoga pants, haven't had the time to look for a studio yet. Hoping to find one close to my house off of groupon or something

Thanks for checking

[GirlyGymRat]

Sorry to hear about your close friend. Hurts. I know.

Stalking??? Accountability

Lets see this new plan!! I have been reading alot lately. Diet and training. Diet and training. Diet and training. Over time. Both through the long haul. There's no other way.....

Thanks babe, yes, def hurts!

I welcome stalkers!

My plan is to get my body straight. Old injuries, knots, and scar tissue need to be dealt with in order for me to train like I want to.

I need a full time massage therapist so if you know of any, send them my way (preferably hot female!)

[RaginCajun]

Did legs this morning.

Right now, it feels like someone frogged/knee me right in my thigh on the side.

My whole body is withered with scar tissue so may take a while for me to get it right.

Gonna be a challenge of patience which I'm not good at when it comes to training. I feel like I have to train everyday!

[bikeral]

Just do it buddy. Ignore the pain.

I have a guy and he is amazing. You have to deal with your injuries. They have been plaguing you for a long time. Rest isn't a bad thing.

Yeah, I prob need a few months worth of deep tissue massages!

I have never been good at rest and when I rest/take time off, my body feels even tighter even though I am not doing anything.

I am an Eniga!

Did a light leg workout Friday, worked in the woods all day yesterday, and did chest/shoulders/tris today.

Chili came out very good!

Need to cook something for the week, I'm thinking chicken n rice.

[RaginCajun]

Did a light leg workout this morning and really stretched good.

My legs definitely are starting to feel better. The left one is loosening up some and I can feel it in my gait.

It still make take a few weeks/months to get them fully healed/loose.

I have been laying off of the cardio since I have been trying to get my legs straightened out. Gonna have to see what my legs (mainly my left) can endure while not trying to re-aggravate the tightness in my legs.

[RaginCajun]

Did a little test run/jog today, 2.5 miles in 30 minutes.

Legs are getting better so I will continue to do what I am doing.

Diet was good today

Hey bud did I miss something? Did you have a new injury or is this due to your muscle tightness?

[RaginCajun]

No new injury, just muscle tightness.

My body is one big knot!

[RaginCajun]

Did chest today and still taking it easy on the elbow.

I wish I could push weights like I did back in college.

[GirlyGymRat]

hi guy!!! stay injury free!

[bikeral]

How goes it buddy?

[RaginCajun]

How goes it buddy?

Traveling my ass off!

Feels like this will be my life until Christmas is over.

I need to be a cardio bunny again!

I think my body is starting to come along with the tightness in my legs, but now my back and shoulders are tight from sitting/bad posture.

I need to find a hot massage therapist and just marry her and work out the details later!

[RaginCajun]

hi guy!!! stay injury free!

Mouth piece in!

Seems I have calmed down some, but I think it is just that it's huntin season right now!

And, women have been keeping me pretty busy as well!

Lol. Happy travels. Be as good as u can!!!

[RaginCajun]

Time to start training more consistently again and ramp up the cardio.

I will work out a weekly schedule and do my best to adhere to it. I will be traveling every weekend from here on out and have been for the past two! It is really going to drive me nuts! I need to find one gf in Texas, so I can stay put and train! Hahaha!

Still nursing little things like the elbow and left knee, and not sure when and if they will ever get better so I am just going to try to push thru some of the pain and try it heal as best as possible. I need to get my endurance back where it was two years ago, damn time flies when you sit down and think about it.

me too!!!

[RaginCajun]

Did 30 min of hills at the gym yesterday on the stationary bike.

Did 30 min on my bike trainer today.

Plan on hitting cardio early tomorrow morning.

[RaginCajun]

me too!!!

Time to do the extra cardio with all the extra eating!

[tarmyg]

wrong thread.

[RaginCajun]

30 min of cardio, done!

Did 5 min warmup, then did 10 45sec - 1 min sprints, followed by 1 min rest. Cooled down for the rest to make 30 min.

I forgot how tough that little workout can be!

[GirlyGymRat]

Time to do the extra cardio with all the extra eating!

Yes. That is a strategy!!

[RaginCajun]

Did legs today, could barely walk down the stairs afterwards.

I did notice something today that I need to fix. When doing squat thruster presses, I felt that my left leg takes most of the weight when I go down into a squat. I really need to work on straightening this out, and concentrate on feeling the weight equally.

Work in progress!

[RaginCajun]

Did chest, abs, and shoulders

My legs are sore from yesterday

[RaginCajun]

Meh, did 30 min of cardio.

Need to bump up the cardio to 45 min next week.

Legs are still sore

[bikeral]

Dude, glad you are at it again in full force.

[RaginCajun]

Dude, glad you are at it again in full force.

I wouldn't say full force until I start back on twoadays!

Def getting back in that groove. Traveling every freakin weekend is killing me!

[mockery]

Sometimes Massage therapy isnt the answer.

something as simple as stretching after cardio once your heart rate is up, can help alot . holding all the stretches for good period of time.
