Did reverse hypers for the second time today.
Despite using no weight, my back is so sore right now I don't think I'd be able to run more than two miles.
Should I keep doing Reverse Hypers?
The formula is simple.
(Using all positive numbers)
Benefit-to-Deadlift/Impairment-to-Running * Desire-to-reach-Deadlift-Goal/Desire-to-advance-running
This gives me (using 1 as strong negative, 3 as neutral, 5 as strong benefit):
5/4 * 5/5 = 1.25*1 = 1.25
(Score greater than 1 would suggest continuing, 1 would be neutral, less than 1 would be a score suggesting quitting).
So the numbers say I should continue.
And I'm intrigued by two things:
1) I had NO IDEA my back was this weak. I just assumed it was stronger since I could pull 455.
2) In the long-term, a stronger back should be beneficial to running.
