30.5 Ow my iliopsoas??

Is it your iliopsoas that you feel burning in your inner thighs when you're doing leg-ups? Whatever it is, I totally got a cramp in it during the last set of leg-ups. Might have possibly been the most acutely painful thing I've ever felt. But I powered through that last set and then rocked the v-sits. Is it weird that I like them? Everyone else seems to hate them; maybe its from doing them all the time for crew in high school?

I too like Elena and Sarah, cut the dawdling out of my workout and went with an active resting time of 15 seconds. Boy does speeding things up make a world of difference, not necessarily in the burn felt during the exercises, but with the mental attitude. I didn't feel like I was slogging away today. Listening to Sam Cooke might have helped too.

I'm going to have to get some stools. My antique dining room chairs can handle triceps dips but would have cracked if I braced myself on their backs, so I did mini-chest dips from the seats. Better than nothing. Next time will be better.
