My Gym Doesn’t Have #3: Pec Dec Flye, Reverse Pec Dec Flye, Lying Hamstring Curl
I love the names of the cardio workouts! I bet you got your ab workout just laughing while coming up with those. ????
Hi Nicole!
I usually workout in the evening either right after work or sometimes later in the evening after dinner. I do strength first, immediately followed by cardio. I usually drink a protein shake after cardio on the drive home. Recently, someone told me I should drink the protein shake after strength prior to cardio b/c my muscles are in a catabolic state after strength and doing cardio right after would cause more muscle loss, but the protein shake would help reduce the amount of muscle loss. What is your advice on when to drink the protein shake?
Thanks! 🙂
LindaHi Nicole,
I have a question about my lower back. When I do sprint workouts or steady state cardio (jogging) workouts, my lower back is fine. I can also do weighted back squats or lunges or any type of squat movement with no problem (in isolation). BUT, when I do a combo of any type of squat movement in the workout with any running at all, my lower back/top of my butt tightens up so tight and causes a great deal of pain. I have to get down on my knees and hands and round my back up and down like a cat to get any relief. I have to do that between the sets of exercises (i.e. sprint a distance, then do air squats, etc..) to be able to complete the workout. That area stays sore for about 3-4 days after that happens. What could it be that’s causing my lower back to tighten up like that especially since it only happens when it’s the combo of running w/ squats or lunges? Are there any stretches or exercises to strengthen that area and alleviate this from continuing to happen?
Thanks so much!
Linda 🙂
