Jettisoned Ponderings

Morning Weigh-In: 187lbs
Bodyfat: 11.0% (Back to normal)
Feeling: Horny (No libido crash on this stuff!)

After some domestic cardio for warm-up I thew a wrench in things and suggested doing legs today instead of back. Few reasons; first, it’d been 3 days since legs for me but 6 for Court so it was overdue. Her body would not be expecting it and also her upper body was still sore from yesterday (sweeeeeet), which would probably cause her to fatigue faster and not be able to get the most out of the workout since it’s a lot of compound movements that still hit the biceps. That, and with the abs, it would be higher volume, thus more likely to get nauseous. So we did legs and the workout went well with only a couple variations to what I did on Sat. She put up some good numbers for the first time through it and I love anytime she gets the "Oooh!?" expression with a new exercise or changes up form just a bit and really feels it where she wants to. Given she’s still recovering from whatever she’s been fighting off the last few days I’m glad she was able to get through as much as she did (everything but one drop set). So for my numbers, here’s what I did today:

Supersets as A/B
A: 2-0-2, Standing Calf Raises - 4×12: 130/140/160/160
B: 1-0-1, Seated Calf Raises - 4×12: 95/100/105/110
A: 4-0-4*, Seated Leg Curls - 3×12: 135/150/165
B: 4-0-4*, Seated Leg Extensions - 3×12: 120/120/120
A: 2-0-2, Smith Hack Squats - 2×12: 140/150
B: 1-0-1, Smith Hack Partials - 2xFail: 140×20/150×18w/rest-pause
A: Close Stance Leg Press - 2×12: 410/455
B: Close Stance Drop Set - 2×12: 360/405
Romanian Deadlift Partials - 3×12: 185/185/185
*4-0-4 tempo for these will be done 3-0-3 from now on

Am I gonna feel this in a couple days? Absolutely. I was quite pleased that a couple numbers jumped as much as they did. I’m not sure how much of Saturday was affected by my not feeling well, or if it’s a genuine jump in progress. Either way, the upcoming weeks will tell!

Off work today and tomorrow, so gonna focus on doing stuff around home, restocking the fridge (seriously, wringin’ out the hens for the 7 dozen eggs needed each week and oh so many martyred bovines in my quest for mass!) and making sure to get my meals down and on time. Funny how I haven’t directly worked traps in months, but just from work stress and constant tension they seem to be growing. Dunno if that’s a good thing…

…and only a few more days to new progress pics! Actually I’m more excited to take measurements and see if anything has changed in the last couple weeks. I know at least my waist will be from constantly having more food in it! >.< D’oh!
