* played around with the precor treadmill incline features. goes max 15%. feels like a stairclimber at this grade. 5% hits the spot. more comfortable than flat because of less impact. got my HR to high 130s even at a chill 4mph pace.

* legs feel very thick this afternoon. the inclined walking is doing something good. did 315x5s comfortably. no valsalva. i thought my calves were strong so added the 25lb. first few reps were solid but started to tire fast. decided to break the set to 10s. rested a few seconds and got the other 10 without too much effort. a straight set to 20 will burn me out again.
