Retaining my man card……..barely
I was ready to go home after squats this morning. Like most folks, this is definitely a love/hate relationship. I’m here to give props to Steve (Ledford45), who has been doing 10×10’s on squats. Now that’s a workout to separate the men from the boys. Way to go Steve-O! The best overall exercise that you can do if you have to pick just one exercise you’re able to do on a deserted island (hey, it’s Friday & I hit legs, so my mind’s already on shutdown….). I went to bed a litte early last night, in the hope of being ready to go full throttle on legs this morning to wind up the week. It worked & I did.
WORKOUT TODAY— LEGS (8-10 reps, 60-75 sec’s rest):
— Smith Machine squats & hack squats (Alternate 1 set each & repeat, for 6 total sets each. 2 dropsets each on 5th & 6th set.)
— Leg extensions & leg curls (Alternate 1 set each & repeat, for 4 total sets each. 1 dropset each on 3rd set & 2 dropsets each on 4th set.)
— Calf raises (6 sets. 2 dropsets on 5th & 6th set.)
CARDIO: Well…..got plenty of that with the squats today. Huffing & puffing……..I kept thinking I was the wolf in The Three Little Pigs.
Have an awesome weekend. It gets better with each hour passed today in my book.
Just getting to the gym IS a successful workout! :D

Squats for 6 sets. Oh my… though that’s a light load for the 10×10 man.
April 24, 2009 at 8:13 pm
Yeah, but add 6 more sets of hack squats to that…….I was whipped.
