Next week,after I get over the initial soreness from my 2 week layoff,I`ll be adding more weight to the bar,and more volume.

It feels great to be training again and out of the slump I was in.

Monday January 13th.

Quads,Hamstrings,Calves:

Quads:
Leg Press:
2 plates a side-20
3 plates a side-15
4 plates a side-12
5 plates a side-10
I could have done much more but still playing it safe after the long layoff.

I like walking too much to get too crazy too soon!


Leg Extensions:
70-15
90-12
80-12

Squats:
135-10
170-10
185-8
These were easy peasy......went up 20 pounds..no back issues so far.

As I said,no squats in years now,doing them late in the workout so I won`t have to go too heavy and screw up my tricky back.


Hamstrings:
Lying Leg Curls:
50-20
80-12
70-12
60-15
50-15
Our Seated Leg Curls Machine has been broken for over a month now............next eek,I`ll throw in Stiff-Legged Deads or Glute Ham Raises along with the leg curls.  >:(

Calves:
Leg Sled Calf Raise:
5 X failure

Cybex Rotary Calf Machine:
3 X failure

So far so good..........I`ll be adding more stuff next week as far as volume and exercises go.

I figure in 3-4 weeks,I`ll be back in top training form.

They`re basically the same,it`s just that I`ll be putting in more in depth stuff here, as well as my daily diet starting next week.

Workouts will be the same as "The Mature Thread" though.
