Post Conditioning Toes to Bar & Lower Body
-
After conditioning, I first did my 100x daily Toes to Bar. Especially after long bikes, hanging for traction on my spine is wonderful. Following that, I moved on to some maintenance lower body training.
-
First, I did Rear-Foot Elevated Split Squats. I do these to get in some quad training, stretch position hamstring training and some sport specificity. The single leg movement pattern lends itself to my conditioning and many other things I like to do such as dance or martial arts.
-
Then last, I finish up with seated calf raises. The long, thinner Soleus muscle that runs underneath the Gastrocs is activated in the knees-bent position. Crouching for instance in sport, can be a point of vulnerability without strengthening the associated muscles and connective tissues in that position.
-
In Texas, the gyms I frequent have some fantastic standing plate loaded calf raise machines so for a variety of training stimulus, when in Arizona I do them seated. My travel schedule in this way sort of automatically periodizes much of my training due to equipment availability 🤷🏿‍♂️
-
That’s it. This week I’m intentionally keeping my training volume on the low end for fatigue management. I’m coming up on 2 years unbroken so I want to STAY, “unbroken.” 😁

People are counting on you so take care of yourself 🤙🏿
