Leg Press PR today - yeah I know i’m cutting.
I was up late so had to hit the gym on lunch today. About 10:30 I had my second meal of the day, some eggs and almonds. Around 11:30 I started feeling light headed…which is the feeling I get when I’m not eating enough carbs or calories in general. I got concerned that I wasn’t going to be able to get a good workout in, since legs is so taxing. I decided to keep it simple, and only do 12 sets total instead of a higher volume.
After a warmup on the elliptical and 3 sets each on leg extensions and leg curls, supersetted for a warmup I hit the leg press. On my third set I got a new PR! 16×45 + my fiance. Not counting sled weight thats 843lbs! I shot for 6 reps but I think I could have gotten one or two more! I felt huge after that set…the lady across from me was just caught staring with her mouth open.
After leg press I did some squats, full range of motion. I managed 225×10, 275×10, 315×8 and 365×4. I really started dropping off with the 365 set (and can do more if you’ve read my other posts) but decided to not push more reps out and just racked it.
Finished up the workout with 15 minutes on the elliptical, lvl 14. Top it all off with a good weigh in, minus 2 lbs from the beginning of the week. 1lb is probably clothing and water weight as I’ve shed carbs through the week. Time to carb-up a bit tonight.
