today's workout wasn't so great
i did legs but my lower back was still sore from the deadlifts i did on Monday lol.
so my lower back go sooo pumped that i had to take long rest times between sets and after squats, i couldn't go heavy on leg press because the deeper i went, the more i felt it on my lower back. it was very painful.
you ever had your lower back muscles get so pumped that you have to sit down or lie down? that shit hurts like hell.
anyway, here it is squat
1x12 45lbs
1x8 135lbs
1x6 225lbs
1x4 315lbs
3x6 275lbs Leg press
1x9 200lbs
1x9 400lbs
2x12 400lbs Leg Extension
1x20 115lbs
1x15 145lbs
1x15 160lbs
1x13 160lbs
2x12 160lbs Lying Leg Curl
1x12 25lbs
3x12 35lbs Seated Leg Curl
2x12 150lbs
2x12 180lbs
i should've warmed up slower on the squats. 315lbs felt super heavy cuz i didn't warm up enough. all weight feels heavy to me on squats up until after the first working set for some reason. very heavy and uncomfortable. very unpleasant. but on the 2nd working set, it feels great. same goes with bench press. all the warmup sets + the first working set feel really heavy and aweful.
the funniest but most annoying thing happend to me on a leg press. when i put 400lbs on, since i go as deep as i can go until the machine won't go any lower, it sqeezed my abbs and i let out a fart. that shit smelled so bad that i had to leave my station for about 5 minutes. the first set of leg extensions you see actually happened before my last set of leg press. if i had gone back with that shit smell i would've thrown up before. the question that comes to my mind every time i do that is, what the FUCK did i eat???? Embarassing. i thought i saw someone gagging on the smell as i was across the other side of the gym doing the leg extension watching people's expression as they walked by.
remember the machine i perfer to use for lying leg curl is one that feels super heavy so my hamstrings aren't as weak as they seem to be.
well, i felt like shit after this workout.
you know, leg workouts aren't really fun for me anymore. as i get more experienced, i train to faliure more often and training to faliure on squats isn't fun. i don't even see many ifbb pros doing this. it's when you do as many reps as you can possibly do on squats until you know for sure you're going to fail the last rep. THEN you rack the weight. not fun at all.
that's almost like what master said.
the suiside leg workout. lol
i love that!!!! |
