Legs


Felt a bit tired today but overall it was a good leg day.

Bulgarian Split Squats - 3, 3, 3, 3, 3..........95, 115, 135, 145, 155

Front Squats - 5, 5, 5, 5...........155, 175, 185, 195
After each set perform a max time of Isometric Sumo Squat Holds with 24 kg kettlebell

20-15-10-5 reps for time
Front Squats - 135
Jump Squats
Time: 14:07

Drop sets
Leg Extension - 200 pounds to 110 pounds........10-25, 10-25
Calf Raises - 320 pounds to 180 pounds........10-15, 10-15

I wanted to try barbell bulgarian split squats, I've used dumbbells for many weeks, the barbell felt good, for now I prefer it.  I never did it before because my balance sucked but that didn't seem to be an issue today.  The front squats went well too, the set of iso holds certainly made the rest of the sets painful but I still got up to 195 for 5 reps.  At first I wasn't happy with how part 3 went, but then I remembered 50 front squats (what it totals) took me 12 minutes or so before, so adding the 50 jump squats and a harder strength portion before it and only 2 minutes difference isn't so bad.  Damn, I forgot how much drop sets hurt.
