I was doing my indoors pre-run warm up - running gently on the spot for about 5 minutes - when radio 4 caught my attention - they were talking about smart watches - so I carried on and did my S+C session - usually I do it at about 5pm.
Dips - using a chair - 4 sets of 30. I didn't use the hoops - the straps dig into my upper arms - it has become quite painful - I need to find a way of making the straps more comfortable.

On the radio they mentioned that the accelerometers in smart watches can detect Parkinson's Disease up to 7 years before it would normally be diagnosed. They also looked at the pulse/breathing/blood pressure response to pain - water at 4 degrees C - using a female subject, and said that women are more resilient to pain than men. I have seen 2 studies looking at the pain tolerances of the sexes - squeezing the achilles tendon, and ice cold water - the men tolerated much more discomfort than the women.

Bit QAH, Mike?
My leg sessions are up to:

20x 160kg inclined leg press
100 bodyweight squats
20x 160kg inclined leg press
100 bodyweight squats
20x 160kg inclined leg press

I can't even consider running until we have a better picture, and this will take a while.Quote:

Same again. Felt easier. Going to stay at this for a few months, it's three times what i was doing while i was running injured, so that's how much more i can put into one session when i'm not destroying my articular cartilage four times a week.Quote:
