This is THE journal for our yucky leg workout.

**Fade** · 08-11-2002, 11:34 AM

Ok I'm first.

8/10/02

Laying leg curls: 200(stack)x6, 150x6, 150x6, 150x6
Not too bad

Squats: 225x22, 225x20, 225x15, 225x15, 225x15, 225x13
Ouch...yes OUCH Not moving up in weight.

Good fuckin mornings: 50x20, 50x16, 50x20, 50x15, 50x15, 50x14
Never done them before...gonna move the weight up next time and pull off the 4 sets of 25.

Seated calf raises: 100x20, 100x15, 100x15, 100x17, 100x15, 100x20
Def adding more weight next week. Way too light.

**Twin Peak** · 08-12-2002, 08:32 AM

NICE! I'll use those same weights on Wednesday and see what happens!

**Twin Peak** · 08-14-2002, 07:32 AM

Oh man this sucked! I forgot the exact plan so my sets and reps are a bit off in the first and last exercises. But here's how day one, Phase 1 went:

Laying leg curls, 50 pounds (either my hammys are pathetic or my stack is effectively heavier, probably a bit of both)

50 x 10
50 x 10
50 x 10
50 x 10
50 x 9

Hams were pumped, burning already.

100 Rep Squats (these were the WORST)

225 x 20 (by rep 12 I knew this would suck)
225 x 20 (burning bad, hoy crap, 60 reps left)
225 x 15 (I might die now, I'll never finish this)
225 x 20 (second wind, legs numb, not sure where this came from)
225 x 13 (back to wanting to die, considering hurling)
225 x 12 (Thank F-ing God its over, can I pass out now)

Yeah, I'll be sticking with this weight for a while.

100 Rep Good Mornings (also never done em before)

50 x 35
50 x 33
50 x 32

Too light, still sucked though. Hope I'm doing 'em right! Aren't SLDLs better?

Seated calf raises (Using free weights on the machine)

135 x 12
180 x 12
180 x 12
180 x 12
180 x 12

I have never hated stairs more.

Any comment that gives TP grief is a good one

Someone is bitter. Wonder why?

**butterfly** · 08-14-2002, 10:10 AM

Who me??? I'm not bitter at all!!!

It's just that you've delt out workouts and diets that totally kick a persons butt for so long now it's about time to see you suffer a little, too... and that goes for fade as well!!!

**Twin Peak** · 08-14-2002, 10:49 AM

If I don't suffer it wasn't a good workout! Actually I feel really good now. Legs have a nice tingly pump, my metobolism FEELS like a stoked fire, I am enjoying this. But wait until tomorrow when I can't walk and then I really whine and complain!

Hey B, can you move my leg pics into here -- they will serve as before pics.

**butterfly** · 08-14-2002, 11:21 AM

No problem...

**Twin Peak** · 08-14-2002, 11:34 AM

Thanks...now watch them grow!

**Fade** · 08-15-2002, 07:24 AM

Damn, I forgot to take pics of my legs.

**butterfly** · 08-15-2002, 10:13 AM

Maybe we'll have time tonight to take the pics

**Fade** · 08-20-2002, 07:04 AM

**Twin Peak** · 08-20-2002, 08:34 AM

looks like the squats didn't get any easier....DAMN! Not looking forward to tomorrow....

**w8lifter** · 08-20-2002, 10:41 AM

I have to tell you....rarely does anyone have the BALLS to get through the 100 rep squats! Good job!...Ya'll should up the w8 though

**nikegurl** · 08-20-2002, 10:47 AM

TP - The idea of a bunch of us doing this is awesome. When I started getting nauseous after the first 50 reps I had to think....well TP and Fade and butterfly and Erilay are doing it. So I did it! I might have bailed otherwise.....

**craig777** · 08-20-2002, 10:49 AM

I lightened up TPs rear.

**Twin Peak** · 08-20-2002, 11:18 AM

Thanks for your support w8 -- knowing you are watching is helping to keep us going!

W8 -- are you crazy? What do you want it to take 28 sets? I was hoping it'd be easier tomorrow and then I could up it. I'll tell you what -- YOU TELL ME how much I should be doing tomorrow for squats.....

NG -- I totally agree. And that thought will help me tomorrow when I am about to pass out!

Thanks Craig.

**w8lifter** · 08-20-2002, 12:38 PM

LMAO...ok...but try to get all 100 in 4 sets, and once you can do that, then you can increase your w8

**Twin Peak** · 08-20-2002, 01:02 PM

Deal.

**Twin Peak** · 08-21-2002, 07:52 AM

Day 2 -- Phase I

Laying leg curls, 70 pounds

70 x 8
70 x 7
70 x 6
70 x 6

Next up, the dreaded 100 Rep Squats (wise-ass W8 challenged me to increase the weight despite the fact that it took so many sets last time -- so I did. I upped it 10 pounds)

235 x 25 (crap. 10 pounds more and I get 5 more reps...this is going to be cake!)
235 x 15 (holy crap, could only get 15, first set took its toll!)
235 x 15 (if I keep the reps here it'll suck but I'll finish)
235 x 18 (set 4 seems to be my second wind set)
235 x 10 (hey....what are all those black things floating around in front of me)
235 x 9 (mommy!)
235 x 9 (not so bad, getting a third wind and finished with 101 reps!)

Next week, same weight, 5 sets tops!

100 Rep Good Mornings (I REALLY hate this exercise!)

70 x 25
70 x 25
70 x 25
70 x 25

Seated calf raises -- did Donkey's instead

130 x 25
130 x 25
130 x 25
130 x 25

So, will I be sore tomorrow?

**Fitgirl70** · 08-21-2002, 07:56 AM

Good morning TP (no pun intended)

Looks like you are burning right about now???

That's okay, you keep burnin' -- as long as I get more pics of that rear, no one's calling a fireman!!! LOL

**Fade** · 08-21-2002, 09:02 AM

Legs didn't get sore hardly at all this time. Hmmm

Gonna have to push it harder.

TP, get 4sets of 25 then up the weight.

**Twin Peak** · 08-21-2002, 09:13 AM

Yeah, I know, I know....I couldn't help myself! I was about to do 225 again and then I heard w8's comment over and over!

**Twin Peak** · 08-21-2002, 09:15 AM

BTW, I am thinking of doing 100 reps with 225 on the flat bench next chest workout to prove how wussy my legs are. How many sets do you think that will take? I think I can do it in 5 or 6, tops.

Hey... can you do that???

**Twin Peak** · 08-21-2002, 09:45 AM

Listen here missy! The seated calf machine was busy! Its just calves anyway....

**w8lifter** · 08-21-2002, 08:14 PM

Hey...but we had a deal?

**Twin Peak** · 08-22-2002, 06:27 AM

I know! But I couldn't live with you saying I should add w8 and not adding w8!!!! It was an impulse decision! By the 4th week I'll get the 100 reps in four sets with this w8!

Also, I was thinking. Next week is my last week before my "official" bulk cycle. As a change I thinking about picking once major exercise for each bodypart, picking a good w8 and doing 100 reps. For example, on monday I'd do chest and bench 225 for 100 reps.....break things up a bit!
