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.   :D   

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.   :D   

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

    Another great leg workout, and throwing the drop sets in takes it to a whole other level. Thanks for the props Al, I appreciate it, but its guys like you and all my friends here that really keep me motivated. Have fun hobbling around this weekend. Have a great one.

    Squats for 6 sets. Oh my… though that’s a light load for the 10×10 man.


  9. Al--1961 Says:

    Yeah, but add 6 more sets of hack squats to that…….I was whipped.
