Legs
Today my abs are so flipping sore it hurts to sneeze or even sit out of bed, I blame the 40 total ab rollouts I did. Anywho, leg day.
Hamstring Curl - 70x10, 80x10, 90x8
LB Back Squats
185x5
225x3
255x3
275x3
295x3 (pr)
315x1 (pr)
Continuous Travelling Lunges (per leg) - 40sx10, 45sx10, 50sx10
I read somewhere that hamstring curls before some heavy squatting in a good way to loosen you up, it seemed to work pretty well today. Mere weeks after setting a 20 pound pr for 3 reps on back squats, I set another, and again 20 pounds for 3 reps. 295 was pushing it, I had someone watch me to confirm my depth, all reps were good, smooth but fucking heavy. I then decided to see what 3 plates a side would feel like, or 315 pounds, turns out it's also fucking heavy, what a shock! I did get one rep at proper depth, I tried a second but failed, I basically dropped straight to the pins. Nevertheless, 315 pounds is a nice 1RM for my low bar back squat. The continuous lunges did have a turnaround at 10 steps, but I kept moving, they really hurt. Overall very happy with this leg day and the pr's.
