TDetroit’s ramblings and nonsense

holy crap!  I learned a new way to create a burn.  it’s awesome.  get to that later.

Squats : warm up 1×5 at 135, 1×5 at 225.  then 3×7 at 315.  315 is getting easy, my spotters look board.  I am working on form and getting that last centimeter to get the quads level.

then I dropped to 235 and did 2×10.

Total weight lifted was 13, 125 lbs on the squat rack.  here is the kicker.  how to get a burn.  last time at the gym a guy was doing quarter reps.  he was doing db presses.  1/4 rep, then full rep. repeat.  I had to ask.  he said it’s awesome and really tears up the muslces.

so i did it on that last set.  holy crap!  i dropped down, did a quarter up, came back down, and then all the way up, repeat. when I got to number 8, I was burning.  quads, hammies, lower back, forearms holding the bar, calves.  everything was on fire.  2 to go.  down, quarter, down, up - my mind was screaming to stop.  down, get that last bit low- full level quad, quater, down, get to level- that last little bit, heave up.  it was awesome.

bb standing calf raises.  2×15 at 180.  this was the biggest i’ve ever done. and with the squats, I was on fire.

went to the benches.  lower back was dead.  no standing anymore, no bending anymore. 

so I did laying extensions at 80, for 10, 9, 8

wrist curls at 80 2×15

that’s it.  I left it all on the gym floor.

btw, I won the election.  I voted for myself.  needed one vote to win.  small towns…
