today was a power leg day been a while...played heavy/volume today

leg press started 3 plates /4/5/6/7...12/12/12/10/8
squats this is where i pushed 225/275/315/365/405...12/10/10/10/6
leg extensions 205/220/235/190..12/12/12/till failure i think 18..

hams
sldl 145/165/205/245
leg curls lying 140/155/155

calves
leg press toe presses
seated calf raises
did slow ,stretched squeezed reps avg 12 lo/ hi 20 reps wise depends on weight added,i just put 45's on and on toll its heav y enough rep zone wise..

That's an amazing amount of weight to use on leg extensions. Are you able to pause at the top of the exercise with 235 lbs? I think the most weight I have ever used was 200 lbs. on leg extensions. I like to get in a good squeeze and pause at the top of each rep, mainly because it makes the thigh muscles pop and I like how that looks.

What you are doing is certainly working. I didn't think your quads could get much bigger and more cut, but they have. Soon you will need custom made trousers.

I prefer decline bench presses to flat or incline. I do them on the Smith because I don't need a spot since I can rack the weight at pretty much any point, which reduces the fear of dropping the weight on my neck. There is also a Hammer Strength machine design as a wide grip decline press even though you do them sitting up in the machine. Since you aren't working against gravity, you need to up the weight.

yeah Dips are great for pecs,delts...triceps ... every upper Body muscle really. you are doing a great Job Steve. Just get through it and in summer you will i am sure be much more relaxed and settled. Last night i did some interval cardio on the bike, a woman kept annoying me with questions and i said i am finished work and will Train. she walked away and then came over and talked non stop next to me as i was doing my workout. Now when i do 30 mins interval i Train fairly high intensive so i really don´t have energy for small talk. I guess i am just too good natured. I mean i know i could have had my evil way but i can control myself. This is why i like to run outside on my own. no distractions. The Gym is not massive by say US Standards but not bad for here and so you get to know a lot of People.

-Brought Margie home from the convalescent home today. She's pretty weak still. It is better to be home though. Nobody likes convalescent homes because they feel like places people go to die although hospice is in a different wing than the one my wife was in. An old African American lady in the room next to the one my wife was in, called out to me as I walked down the hall. When I glanced her way she was flashing her tit at me. Crazy!

I am fortunate to have our daughter and son-in-law here to help me with Margie. The snow is pretty much melted. My son-in-law and grandson cleared the driveway of snow the other day which was great because I was beginning to get cabin fever. Soon as the driveway was clear, I drove up to the store. Our dishwasher is on the fritz. The new one I bought is due to be installed on the 18th.

I will probably get some gym time in on Thursday. Today is just a little hectic. Tomorrow Margie has dialysis, which blows the day. I feel great though. I weighed 196 lbs. this morning. My gut is getting smaller, which is always a plus.

Dips used to be my favorite exercise by far. I like to do them wide for chest and narrow for triceps and I'd do them at least 2x a week. However, now that I'm old (44) they seem to really do a number on my joints, particularly my wrists. I worked through the pain until this weekend and have taken a break since then (I'm going to try and do legs tonight). The wrists are slowly feeling better but I'd hate to give up this movement.

Any of u old guys experience anything like this?

Due to having 2 bad shoulders I have to be very careful with dips/chins and even push-ups. I go through periods where I can do them any do. Right now shoulder is so bad I can't do one dip.
