Monday Febuary 3rd.

Quads,Hamstrings,Calves:

Quads:
Leg Press:
2 plates per side-20
3 plates per side-20
4 plates per side-12
5 plates per side-12
6 plates per side-12

Added 2 reps on the heaviest set as opposed to last time I did these.

Next week,I`ll go up another 2 plates per side.


Barbell Squat:
135-12
185-10
205-8
Added 2 more reps to each set above compared to last squat workout.

No back problems yet.

Next time,I`ll do multiple sets with the 205 or go to 225.

Taking it slow of course,so as not to aggravate my back.

I`m a far cry from my old days multiple sets of 315 for sets of 10,but my goal is to just feel the quads working and so far,I`ve accomplished this as I`ve been sore as hell every week.


Leg Extensions:
80-12
100-12
110-12
70-20
Went 10 pounds heavier than last week,and did 5 more reps on the last set than I did last week.

Hamstrings:
Lying Leg Curls:
60-failure
80-failure
100-failure + half reps to failure
50-20
Went up 10 pounds on all sets with more reps than last time.

Glute Ham Raise:
3 X failure
I did these kneeling on a pulldown machine seat,facing away from the machine...BRUTAL !!

Calves:
Lying Leg Sled Calf Raise:
4 X failure

Cybex Seated Leg Press Calf Raise:
4 X failure

Good one!!

Legs are shaky and slowly progressing on weight and reps which is my plan.
