Cutting but had strong leg day, PR!
Thursday, May 14th, 2009
I’ve been doing 10 sets of squats for leg day, followed by leg extensions, leg curls and then 5 sets of BB Lunges.
On Saturday, after upping carbs for 2 days, I managed 275lbs, 10 sets, 10 reps per set. I was sharing the rack, so I wasn’t able to maintain my normal 75 second rest interval (previously did 255 10×10 at this rest). The reason why I went for 275 was because I did 255 what seemed to be fairly easily. I could not believe I made it through but was really pumped up about it. All reps breaking parallel, no cheats.
By the time I made it to lunges I was totally wiped. I managed to get 5 sets of lunges in but it was brutality at its worst.
I managed to develop a headache during my sets which has never happened before. I am curious if its caffeine build-up in my body as I’ve been starting the morning off with a cup of coffee and I usually don’t do that, or if its the supps I’m taking. I’ve been taking MRP Hi-Def for about 3 weeks now to try and cut up a little bit. Although I’ve maintained 194lbs I do feel like I’ve lost fat. Its slow progress though…unlike my previous cuts. Typically, I can put on weight and lose it fairly easy. This time around its been very slow…
Either way, I was really proud of myself for getting through the workout and happy to squat 27,500 lbs in less than 30 minutes. If you’ve never tried doing this, take 60% of your 1 rep max and squat it 100 times over 10 sets. If you watch your rest time in between and keep it under 90 seconds sets 7-10 are brutal.
