Great fucking workout......very intense,great pump and burn.....getting much stronger also.

I really screwed myself by training legs the other day with that guy I met in Planet Fitness,no way was I gonna` let him out train me....I do not see myself recovering fast enough to do legs again until next year........I AM FUCKING INTENSELY SORE.  ;D

I just keep repeating to myself,...."You never knocked me down Ray.....you never knocked me down.........OUCH !!    :'(

Looks like tomorrow will be abs,neck,and forearms which  I intentionally saved cuz  I`m hobbled like James Caan in "Misery" and knew I had screwed the pooch on this one.  :P

Yesterday, Leg Day #1 (been doing them on WED & SAT).

Leg-Press
5 x 8 with 9 plates a side. I like to do these slow and low (or deep).I see many loading up plates and moving an inch, very odd).

Superset
 {Leg Curl - 5 sets
 {Leg Ext - 5 sets

Standing calf-machine (Cybex I think)
5 sets

Reverse Hypers
5 sets

I will squat heavy (for me) on SAT.
Been ending w/ 425 x 3, will shoot for 445 x 3 on SAT.

My SQ and DL have always been pretty equal (5 plates a side for a single (2009 raw contest, under 198 lbs).
Been doing 425 x 3 for each these days.
Damn good workout brother.

Way to go Jeff.....it takes a special kind of lunatic to train at that hour....been there,done that....not an easy task.

An old shirt from my old gym "Big Daddys Gym" had a freaky "muscleguy" illustration on it with the words "Positive Mental Sickness"....I still live by that adage, and it seems you do too training at that ungodly hour.

Stay on point !!

I don't think the workout had a substantial effect on my muscular size and authority.

Geezer hours...
I`m up early simply because my sleep is terrible but I train at home and try to get it done by 10AM.

Back in the day I trained at 5 AM and was at work at 7:30 AM....it felt great knowing that while the slobs slept I did a great leg workout that more than likely amounted to more work than most would likely do in a month or more.  :D

Geezer hours...

For many these are their 'geezer' hours. Not for me. Once I retired, I reverted to my biological clock which tends toward late nights and late mornings. My most productive workouts are between the hours of 3:00 pm and 8:00 pm. I try to avoid going to the gym between 4:30 and 6:30 pm. At no time in my life did I workout at 5:30 am.

In western Oregon during the summer months,  the sun doesn’t set until 9:00 pm. I almost never go to bed before 11:00 pm. Usually I need at least 8 hours sleep to feel rested. An occasional "power nap" of at least 20 minutes is refreshing.
