So, I decided to hit my legs with a different intensity tonight. Here goes:

Squats - 275 - 8reps

295 -8reps

315 - 8reps

It was when I got to 315 that I unracked it and felt the slightest of tinges. I worked through it anyway because I needed to know I could do it. No excruciating pain, but just a nagging pain in the upper back.

Step up lunges with 40# DB’s. 3 sets for 10 reps each

Leg extensions using 2-35# plates on the end of my bench. 4 sets: 15, 12, 12, 15
Standing cable hamstring curls with 35#.  4 sets of 12

Kickbacks for glutes - 30# - 4 sets of 10

Calf raises were just a crazy mix ‘em up. Seated calf raises with 40# DBs.  Standing calf raises using the same weight.

SO, yeah, that’s a bit more intense than when I was at my most fit a few years ago. The amazing thing about the squats is that I just started back training regularly this year. My weight jumped a lot from where I started. So, I’m pretty freakin stoked!

Good night
