It does not look like I will be able to make it out to the track to sprint more this year. So....it's time to change the focus of my lower body workouts. I will now focus on strength/hypertrophy versus more sport oriented training. Maybe I will be able to get back on the track for sprinting next year. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Since I haven't been training my lower body for strength/hypertrophy, I need to ease into these workouts. If I don't, the soreness will be extreme and I won't be able to walk normally for a while. That means the first few workouts should be fairly easy. They should be hard enough to feel the muscles working, but I am going to stay a few reps short of failure and limit the number of sets. This is more of a pump/depletion type workout with short rest intervals between sets. I recorded the rest intervals to give you an idea of what the workout looks like. However, I did speed up the video to help the time pass a little more quickly and enhance your viewing pleasure (ha ha).

I will keep any eye on how I feel overall and how my legs feel specifically to determine how and when to progress. Gradually, I will progress each set closer to failure and will probably add a set here and there. The principles that are being followed here should help anyone who is either new to lifting weights or who is coming back after a layoff.
