Legs and Shoulders
Today, was a leg day and it went really well. I went to the gym late in the afternoon, because we are out of schoo for the week and I have been enjoying, and taking, every opportunity to sleep in. I did fairly light/moderate weights and tried to keep my reps at about 15-25. I did: machine squats, split squats (weights and unweighted), standing calf raises, deadlifts (I only got to about 3 sets b/c I hurt my lats), but a then started doing lateral shoulder raises. This is actually fun. I did them unilaterally. I did 15 reps on one side, then the other. Then 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, then I did 15 with both arms. I kept the tempo fast and I got a nice pump. I did some regular squats somewhere in there. Then I headed over the leg extention machine and did light weights (60#,25 reps) supersetted with ball crunches (feet together). I was sweating like crazy and drank 1/2 gallon of water by the end of the workout. My hamstrings are still sore, so that’s good.
