Nice solid session, quick and simple

thanks natureboy, just checked out your log man - some dam impressive stuff there

anywayz today's leg session was kinda weird. Started off with Squats and it went pretty bad but the rest of the session went pretty good - i have no idea why...

Wednesday

Quads

Squats: 40kg x 12, 60kg x 10, 80kg x 8, 100kg x 4?!, 100kg x 5?!: the 1st set of 100kg felt heavy for some odd reason and after 4 reps my legs had it... i had a 6 minute rest and went for another set but it wasn't any better - in fact i wasn't even going to parallel in that last set
Leg Press: 80kg x 15, 120kg x 12, 160kg x 12, 200kg x 10, 240kg x 10, 280kg x 8
Leg Extension: 54kg x 15, 61kg x 12, 68kg x 12: 60 sec between sets

Hamstrings

SLDL: 40kg x 12, 60kg x 12, 80kg x 10, 90kg x 10, 100kg x 8: PB by far...in fact even that last set was easy but i didn't have time for another set
Lying Leg Curl: 36kg x 8, 42kg x 6, 36kg x 7

Calves

Today I did the "Friday" session of the calf routine...

Seated Leg Press Toe Raise: 290lbs x 20, 413lbs(stacked) x 15, 413lbs x 15, 413lbs x 15: this machine is awesome - it's just like doing donkey calf raises
Bit of a stretch and then
Standing Calf Raises: 150kg x 20, 330kg x 10, 150kg x 18, 345kg x 10, 150kg x 18: PB, the machine stacks at 300kg so i hooked up some extra plates and it looked kinda funky but it did the trick

finished off with 15 mins of Leg stretching

Time: 95 mins (excluding stretching)
Result: confused with squats but everything else went good...i think this calf routine is really working

Nice work Mak. Bummer about that squat but then you got some great weight - especially on the leg press. Congrats on the SLDL pb too! Gettin your strength up real quick since your injury.

xtweak05 · 05-10-2006, 04:06 PM

too bad about them Squats man, sometimes the weight just seems so much heavier and it can take a toll on you mentally. Seems like you recovered nicely and congrats on your personal best with the SLDL. Glad to hear that calve routine is working well too since I too am using the same one lol.

mak have u tried hitting abs every other day and wearing your belt when u train, it should help protect a lil bit more bro, least thats what i did.

thats my only advice sorry i dont have nothin else for u

MaKaVeLi · 05-10-2006, 07:01 PM

nah bro you're right on the money - the lack of ab work has meant that my core isn't as strong as it should be... i wear a belt when doing heavy squats and deads but i think i should focus more on building up my core strength. gona start ab work from next week on
