UGH!!! Coldest day of the year so far, and it had to be on leg day. Went to school, sat through two boring classes, dreading the fact that I have my week’s deadliest workout coming up, Legs… Entered the gym feeling confident, stretched, and began my warmup set of squats. Seemed to me my warmup set was harder than it usually is, probably because I’m still adjusting to my new and improved form. First working set went nice, so on the second set I decided to use a more narrow stance, see if it helped. Right from the start of that set, I could really feel my left quad was fatigued, but I forced out the set anyways. Third set went back to normal stance still feeling my left quad. It wasn’t a bad pain, just thought it was odd to only be in my left leg. Moved on to hack squats, because I was trying to focus more on my quads today. Hack squats are new to me, and a lot of people at my gym feel that machine is for girls, but if you do it right it hurts like hell. Went all the way down, made me tired as hell, but toughed it out. The rest of the workout was pretty standard, added an extra set of leg extensions at the end for the final burn. Almost froze my hands off while walking to the bus while eating my white bread and protein shake. Here’s the stats for this workout.
