LEGS + Cardio
Yet another gisgustingly brutal leg workout today, as usual. I remember back in the day when leg day was my favorite lifting day of the week, but now… no. That was back when I wasn’t doing everything properly; I didn’t do squats, I did super heavy leg presses with a small range of motion, on machines like the leg extension and calf raises I’d just put the whole stack and push as hard as I could without simply using the contraction of the muscle. But that was a long time ago. Now I do squats, and I mean FULL squats, unlike most people at my gym not even going to parallel, lowered the weight on the leg press to focus on the form, which ends up giving a crazier burn than anything, and same for the other machines, as I concentrate on the mind-muscle link. And now, my legs, and the rest of my body are MUCH better than a year and a half ago.
I have no idea what the point of that rant was, but for some reason I felt like typing it. So anyways, back to the point. Brutal leg day today, it’s always death when I somehow get myself to include romanian deadlifts, because by that time in the leg workout, my head is not thinking right and my tank is pretty well close to being empty. Went back to good ol’ seated calf raises, to find my soleus must have been getting lazy, because they were harder than last time I did them, but I’ll just have to work on that won’t I. Waddled over to the bike to do cardio again after my workout.
Since friday is Good Friday and the gym is closed, I still havn’t decided whether I should do my usual shoulders like every friday, or do back, my favorite, since I’ll be missing it Friday. I guess I’ll see how my legs feel tomorrow, cause I needs em on leg day to lift those heavy ass weights.
