I know swimmers sometimes refer to the work they do out of the pool as 'dryland training'. I'm not sure if what I'm doing presently counts, since it's in place of swimming, not in addition to. I still haven't licked this cold, so I stayed in bed again. I did ride to work, and hit the weights, but I think I'm better able to handle that than being half-naked and soaking wet. I know which scenario I think will keep me sick longer. (Remember last year when I gave myself pneumonia by swimming too soon? Yeah, so do I.)
But, as I said, I did get to hit the weights, which is something. I scaled back my deadlift weight to focus on better form. I've noticed I'm using too much lower back, so I made sure there was a split-second pause with the bar on the ground, I dropped my hips to use the leg drive, and snapped the weight up. Things felt much better, and I can build back up from here. The rest of the work went really well. I don't think the damage to my hamstrings should be too much to be ready for tomorrow's run.
