Week 1 - Alternating cycle: Heavy week vs High Reps week
"It Is a Far, Far Better Thing That I Do, than I Have Ever Done: It Is a Far, Far Better Rest That I Go To, than I Have Ever Known." Another quote from Charles Dickens, from A TALE OF OF TWO CITIES. Yesterday’s quote starts out the story. Today’s quote ends the story. Bookends, you might say. 
I go to a ’far better rest’ heading into the weekend. I stepped into my fear this morning, to end up a very sluggish week. Today was leg day, and I still felt the same. I decided to up the weights slightly, put myself thru the ringer, & end the week on a high note. Ended up with a good workout. But I’m very ready for a rest weekend. If I get any workout in tomorrow, it’ll just be LISS or LIIT cardio, plus abs. Hope everyone has a groovy weekend.
WORKOUT THIS MORNING — LEGS:
(Heavy: 7-10 reps, 45-75 sec’s rest)
– Smith Machine squats, alternated w/ hack squats (5 sets ea, dropset on last set of each)
– Standing calf raises, alternated w/ seated calf raises (5 sets ea, dropset on last set of each)
– Leg curls (4 sets, dropset on last set)
– Leg extensions (4 sets, dropset on last set)
– Walking lunges w/ 35 lb wt in each hand (2 sets)
OBLIQUES: Side bends w/ 35 lb wt (4 sets each side, 10-12 reps)
Just getting to the gym IS a successful workout!

Very nice leg workout Al, high volume. Love it! Walking lunges are awesome…I should really up the weight on those because I never go heavy.
Have a great day!
