THOUGHTS OF A FITNESS FREAK

Okay, I blasted my legs yesterday and they are barely sore!  I went from 125-140 on leg extensions to banging out 4 reps at 155!  I went from 70 on my hams to 100!  haha..didn’t even know that at first til I went for 90 and someone had left a 5 lb add on on the stack, so I figured ‘what the hell?’ My squat was 215 on the smith. the v hack machine was up to ( suck at math, why cant they be even 50lb plates?)okay 280!  oh, someone left 6 45s on the leg press, so I did them too. Thats a good 300 with the sled………so whats up with that?  Either the NO -Xplode promotes good recovery or perhaps because I jumped up in weight, there are less reps involved, so I really didnt max out as I had thought? Damn, I was there for nearly 2 hours.  Today was shoulders,bis and upper back.  My best has to be my 50lb barbell curl.  Talk about vascularity.  Plus I now use a 40 on preachers.  Yes, then there was the dips.  i need one of those belts to add a little weight.  My overhead presses are still at 85. I use pullys alot for shoulders.  I still only use 15’s for hammer curls. I do notice my left arm never fully extends as much as my right. I have a tight tendon or something no matter how much I stretch it. For upper back I use the Hammerstrength machines.  I got 60 on my rows.  I love them because they are individual machines. One arm never does most of the work like some machines.  I also use the smith to do shoulder raises, although I lean back as little as I raise.  I get 85 on those.  I tried to add a couple more 10lb plates, but I was beat by then.  I ended my day seeing Schrek the third and fell asleep in the theatere with my youngest who is almost 7, poking me in the eye to wake me up.  What a day!  Hope everyone holiday was good. Only 4 days of work until the weekend!!!!
