Legs


Worked out with Brett again today, he wanted to do a high rep leg day, my weakness, I was on board for some pain.

Superset
Squat Machine - 180x12, 270x12, 360x12
DB Reverse Lunges - 50sx6, 6, 6 (per leg)

Superset
Romanian Deadlift - 225x12, 225x12, 255x8
Hamstring Curl - 90x12, 105x8, 105x6

Leg Extension - 150x15, 170x15, 210x15

Back Squats (just below parallel)
135x15
185x15
225x15

That first pairing was good but one where I probably should have increased the weight, especially on the lunges and only the last set of the squat machine was really difficult, I hadn't done this pairing before so I wasn't sure what weights to do.  The hamstring pairing however did hurt, 225 and then 255 on the last set became difficult to hold on too as I didn't use straps, the hamstring curls as well really killed.  The leg extension was only really hard on the last set, but I haven't used that particular one before so I wasn't sure what weight to use.  The back squat went awesome, by this point my legs were pretty swollen but wow that set at 225 tested my mental toughness to the extreme.  I had gotten 10 reps with 225 before but wow it was close then, this was at the end of my workout and nearly killed me, Brett cheering me on helped and he said I helped to push him on a lot of the weights.  Awesome feeling workout!!
