Leg Training

1 April 2015


Squat 345 lbs. 4s x 5 - did an extra set for no particular reason

Rack pull 335 lbs. 3s x 5

Hip still hurts, but it's not that bad. I'm planning to stay away from heavy squats (triples) for a while yet - will keep doing sets of five. Also will switch to singles for the rack pull once I hit 355 for sets of 5.

Glute-ham raise 2s x 6

Leg press 5 plates x20, x20, x12

20-rep leg presses are worse than 20-rep squats. With the squat, at some point self-preservation kicks in and you simply can't do another rep because it'll crush you. With the leg press, you can always do one more rep.

Machine split squats 1s x 20 (10 per leg)

Not sure why I did this last exercise, except maybe masochism.

Machine ab crunch 3s x 8-10
