Exercise Log 5.1.14 (Dev Day, No Cardio)

Today was again a makeup day for missing leg day to do my training run last Sunday. It’s also the last dedicating squatting day prior to beginning my new workout phase, which is exciting. So I decided to go out in a blazing glory with SQUATAGEDDON.

Front Squats: Sets 1-4) 6 reps @ 145lbs. Set 5) 3 reps @ 155lbs. Set 6) Failed 165lbs once, then did 2 reps @ 155lbs and failed the third rep.

Back Squats: Sets 1 & 2) 6 reps @ 165lbs. Set 3) 5 reps @ 185lbs (split set).

Isolation Quad Leg Extensions: 4 sets of 8 reps @ 165lbs with a high intensity strength focus (very low tempo). This hurt a ton.

Isolation Hamstring Leg Curls: 4 sets of 8 reps @ 95lbs again with high intensity strength focus. This was again very hard.

Seated Calf Raises: Set 1) 8 reps @ 90lbs. Sets 2 & 3) 8 reps @ 135lbs. Sets 4 & 5) 4 reps @ 180lbs.

The high intensity work on the machines may not sound like a lot, but slowing the tempo way down really burnt me out. Which is good – I plan on integrating this style of workout into my new plan. I was done after this, and didn’t want to push myself too hard because tomorrow would require some legs too, going to end this phase of my workout plan back at my favorite day, Back Day (w/Deadlifts).
