Legs
Today was my first true leg day since my back injury, I have leg heavy days before, but they all had an conditioning component to them, this was pure legs. More so, it had back squats, the exercise that hurt me last time at a light weight, I wasn't planning and setting any pr's today but wanted to test it a bit.
Back Squats (just below parallel)
135x8
155x8
185x8
205x8
Travelling Lunges - 3x10 (per leg)......100
Alternate Sets
Leg Extension - 110x12, 170x12, 190x12
Hamstring Curl - 100x12, 110x12, 120x12
They went good, at one point I thought I felt my back a little bit, but honestly I think it was mostly in my head as I had that injury on my mind. Most feel back squats in there backs a little anyways, my legs were taking the brunt of the workload though. The lunges hurt a lot, I have done the 3x10 with 115 before I was in a peak of leg training, so this was reasonable. The leg extension machine was new so I didn't know the proper weight right away, 110 was way too light hense the big jump. Good feeling leg day!
