Legs Last Night
Legs took quite a beating yesterday. Unlike last leg workout, this time I did my warm-up on the bike and started much lighter on the leg press warm-up sets. Working sets ended up being the following:
Close Stance Leg Press: 4×8-12 450 495 540 585 (x10)
Neutral Stance Smith Front Squats: 4×8-12 50 60 70 80
Leg Extensions: 7×8-15 100 100 90 80 60 50 40
Standing Calf Raises: 4×10-12 180 190 200 220
Seated Calf Raises: 4×15-20 100 105 110 115
My knees were the main reason for lightening up so much on the extensions. It felt good in a way, but they were sure letting me know they’d be worked. Calves were cramping, so doing 7s wasn’t necessary (and probably won’t be later this week either). The big thing I’m happy about is the leg press. All sets and reps I had my knees coming all the way back to my chest, so they were clean and deep. It’ll be good to work up to being over 600lbs on it again. If I’m lucky, I’d like to be doing 700+ for reps by the end of the year…
