Hey bro, todays session was another reminder of how much calfs,hammys and quads are not fun to train (but kinda are at the same time-weird i know lol).
B4 my cruise id got 13 reps on leg press calf press, but after having 2 week cruise i decided to use all same weights as b4 the cruise, for my 1st sessions back in opening 2 week cycle. so i used same weight for calfs. Gone from 13 reps DC style, followed by 25-30 partials, to 17 reps DC style followed by 50 partials. ouch, but awesome at the same time lol.
Maxed out another machine aswell on unilateral leg press.
Thats leg raise, uni leg press and shoulder grip pulldowns (palms facing), all run outa weight.
Im gonna have to maybe invest in 1 of those thick pins that u can hang more weight on?!
davie
those pins are great, a guy at one of my old gyms made a few and I loved them, I could really pile weight on...now i have to kinda rig up a machine to hold more weight and they just don't really like that.
I did legs today, problem was there was someone on every machine I wanted to use so I had to go out of order to get everything in, I'm gonna write it up as it should have gone but I did hack squats before seated leg curls and....it's just confusing:
smith machine calf raise-225*12 done in DC style and then 23 partials. First time, I saw a few guys doing this, we have a piece of equipment that you put under you and it's just like a standing calf raise, weight goes on your shoulder like a squat...I dont' know how long I'll keep it, it wasn't really all that comfortable. I can't see a guy doing mroe than 315 cause it was killing my neck...maybe i jsut need to get used to it.
Seated Leg Curl-130*31RP, Static 180 for 25 seconds and a 60 second stretch
Hack Squat-325*5 with 26 partials
Widowmaker-260*28....then I put 200lbs on a leg extention and did a static hold, got about 30 seconds.
I've been avoiding the quad stretch cause it hurt my low back but I'm gonna start it back up next leg workout.
might go in tonight for abs and really, really light cardio if I feel like it.
