So I’m not sure what happened this morning, but somehow I managed to run out of time.  I made it to the gym in time to jump on the eliptical at 5:30am for about 10 minutes.  Managed to burn about 180 calories, traveling 1.16 miles averaging about 190 strides/minute at a resistance level of 9.  Normally I would shoot for 15 minutes, but leg days seem to take longer than the rest.

Got down to the squat rack with plenty of time to hit every exercise on the plan and started off with 295lbs.  But by the time we finished with the stiff-leg deadlifts we only had time left for leg curls and leg extensions…  Frustrating…  Here’s the full leg workout…

• Squats - 295lbs/5 reps; 295lbs/5 reps; 305lbs/5 reps; 315lbs/5 reps; 325lbs/5 reps
• Hack Squats - 380lbs/12 reps; 390lbs/12 reps; 400lbs/12 reps
• Stiff-leg Deadlifts - 155lbs/12 reps; 165lbs/12 reps; 175lbs/12 reps
• Walking lunges - Ran out of time, couldn’t get this in
• Seated Leg Curls - 135lbs/8 reps; 140lbs/8 reps; 145lbs/8 reps
• Leg Extensions (drop set) -  200lbs/15 reps; 190lbs/10 reps; 180lbs/7 reps

Not to say that my legs aren’t tired, but I really don’t like having to skip an exercise that I should have been able to work in.  Oh well, tomorrow is arms and I’ll attack that with a fury…
