What a weekend! Do you ever go to the gym and lose track of time? Saturday was Arms/Chest/Abs (I know, wierd combo) Managed 3-Set/8-Rep Bench at my body weight of 185# (247# 1RM). I pushed a little harder on Bi/Tri targeting 85% of 1RM. Very Cool! Felt great! Sunday was Quads and Calves. Actually was able to squat #225# (247# 1RM = 136% of my body weight) My knee held up very well. Yeah! Worked quads further with seated extensions at 75% of 240# 1RM. Seated leg press at 340# 3-sets of 9 reps each (486# 1RM) . I used the 45^ incline for calf presses at 515# for 3-sets of 10 reps (687# 1RM) Tonight is all cardio. Tomorrow, Deltoids/Traps/Shoulders.

Ya gotta love doing squats! I’m having to really push myself though. I have a slightly damaged ACL and Medial Meniscus and am kinda testing things out right now. I’m hoping to make some good gains over the next few training periods as my comfort level increases. Time to Man-Up! I’m only at a 1RM of 267#. I must train to carry a fully-geared, downed buddy out of harm’s way. So, quick math would suggest ~250# X2 = 500#!!! Damn! I’m only 1/2 way! Geesh!

I’ve been spending the last few training sessions specifically determining my 1RM (1 Rep Max) Upcoming training sessions will then target weights in the 75%-85% range of these 1RMs for 8-10 Reps per Set X 3+ Sets. I’ll continue to use these ranges until I can hit 85% 1RM and 12 reps on Set #3 for three consecutive sessions.
