Lower Body Lifts Getting Better
Sunday, July 1st, 2007With the back injury continuing to improve, I’m getting a bit more agressive in lower body movements again. At least I’m able to get some real power from my right side again. Two months ago I could barely stand on that leg and bear any weight. Climbing stairs was impossible. Things are a lot better now. As of my last Leg workout on Thursday, my weights/reps are as follows for the basic exercises:
Leg Press - 600 for 10 reps, Leg Extensions - 210 for 8 reps, Hamstring Curls - 130 for 10 reps, Calf Raises - 260 for 10 reps. (Most of these are double what I could do at the end of May.)
I’m still not up to maxing, mostly becasue I do not have a partner just in case. I still have to wait several more months before I can try even a machine squat again, but I don’t know if I can last that long. I jsut have to keep telling myself, heal first. I can still make gains without squats.
On the advise of a friend, I’m shaking up my supplements as of tomorrow. I’m really hoping to see some good gains from them.
