First “real” leg workout…
I was actually able to do one finally–yay!!…last week I attempted one but didn’t feel like my knee and leg were up to it so I just cut that one short, but yesterday I did an entire leg workout, in fact it was the best leg workout I have done in a long time because everything hurts today! even gluteys which are hard to get any result from since I have so much padding back there or something..lol
The butt blaster machine and kickback (not sure name of it) machine were two that I hadn’t tried before, but decided to give them a shot and they are what really kicked my booty..I was sweating bullets after doing those 2…I also did squats on the smith machine, but I think I may give that a rest and just go for the machines that target the glutes, hams, quads for a couple weeks to see if I get any results with them…I also did stiff legged dead lifts which I had been wondering when I could do again since my knee pain originated from the hamstring…and the ham’s were fine on that too..yayaaaa!
At the end of the workout I did the "step" exercises I mentioned in an earlier post, and I did walking lunges with 25 lb plates…4 sets of each..I know this was a good workout because normally I can walk-lunge the entire length of the gym, and last night I could only take about 13 steps max for a set and my glutes/quads were demanding that I stop the madness!!
…and last but not least..today I weighted in at 147!…but dang the "brownie batter" blizzard from Dairy Queen commercial has been on lately and it seems to be calling my name….hmmm

oh god….you reminded me that blizzards exist….frack….well i suppose going to get a large blizzard is better than the 3 quarts of ice cream i’ve eaten the past 2 or 3 weekends in a row…..
sounds like a good workout….wish my knee would allow lunges anymore, but after i’ve done squats any type of lunge is retardedly painful….moreso walking lunges
I think i’m gonna take legs off this week…but i don’t think it’ll do any good.
