Exercise Log 12.1.13 (Leg Day + Cardio)

I’m going to start supressing these logs from front page and facebook updates unless I have enough content to merit it, but they’re still going to be here for my personal reference and for those who are curious as to how my day to day stuff goes.

Today is a super accurate log of my exercise because I took notes! Go figure. So today was leg day and I’ll keep this short and just transcribe notes. Front squatting starting light (105lbs), 5 reps with straps and 5 reps with clean grip. Then I did 125lbs with the strap and kept failing because the barbell would slip up off my delts and down, so only got 2 reps with straps then 5 with a clean grip. 145lb (which is my max front squat, I know not much) was next and I did 5 reps, considering it was my max I feel like it was good, but 2 of the 5 reps were just really awful so I did 3 more reps (one more was bad) just to flush it out. After that I started going back down doing 7 reps at 125 and 9 at 105lbs.

So after front squats were done did goblet squats, started with 60lbs did 10 reps, 10 reps @ 70lbs, 8 reps @ 80lbs and 6 reps @ 90lbs. Bulgarian split squats instead of marching lunges were my lunge motion of the day, did 3 sets of 10 reps (each leg) at 135lbs. Vertical leg press machine superset with calf presses on the big sled, 6 plates with 10 presses/12 calf raises, 10 plates again 10 presses/12 calf raises and finally 14 plates (630lbs). To flush out my calves I did seated calf raises with 2 plates @ 10 reps, then 2 sets of 3 plates (10 reps) & one drop set of 2 plates (10 reps).

Did some stiff legged deadlifts (Good Mornings) incrementing weight from 60lbs to 90lbs via 4 sets, 10 reps each, get those hamstrings worked out. Then finally finished up with hip extensions, 15 mini-sets of 3 reps each leg @ 140lbs (nearly the entire weight stack).

For cardio today did M200… and that was it. Pretty straight forward but very exhausting, so I felt good about it. Was going to skip today because I started with such little energy, but I’m glad I didn’t.
