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.
