I know, I know. However, Ive come up with a list of excuses for you:

1. It was my 3rd lift working legs.
2. I havent worked legs in months.
3. Ummm...... Ive got a case of the Mondays?

Great W/O IMO!!! and a FB one at that, you are a stud!!!
I didnt forget ya.

It is just that - a start. Day one. I am anticipating both strength gains and comfort gains next time around. Then its all better from there.

Was it awkward for you on your first day doin it? Its a lot different than what Im used to, ya know?

BB Curl:

Trunk Curls:

Tonight was more about finding the right weights than it was moving plates. Even still, Im unhappy with both my squat weight and my bb bench weight. Ive never handled the incline bar well, today was no different.

Overall, decent WO. Good day 1. Day two - intentions for Thursday night.
So much going on in here I missed your workout. Nice job! Why the different weight on the Triceps?

180 on the leg curls...you must be hanging on tight to that bench

Thanks man.

The weights were the same on the Tri-extensions. The reps were different. Worked em to failure, so I really dont know why. I am happy with 14 though. Happy.... but not satisfied.

As for the 180 - thats dat dere light weight.

Seriously though - that is one of my FAVORITE lifts.... I coudve done more and intend on doing more next go-around. Except next time, Ill do it AFTER I squat. As you can tell by my squat weight, pre-exhausting quads isnt a good thing mentally.

Check the numbers next go-around.

Whoopin ARSE!!!
Do you have a target range to fail on for your lifts?
I used 8-12 for uppers (8 being almost too heavy, 12 being perfect but up the weight ONLY after I hit 12 twice)
12-20 for lowers (same as uppers)
That was just how I did it, just my 2 cents!!!

Hahaha. I hope so.

I do have a target range... and oddly enough, its exactly what you posted, 8 - 12 reps. If I cant get 8, then I need to drop a few lbs. If I can get 12, I need to add weight. I do that for both uppers and lowers though.

Similar to max-ot, with the 4-6 rep range.

Works for me. Hows the club roster goin?

Not even close. I didnt do bad though... only walked about about $100 down. Thats not bad at all.

They were actually bent-over rows, not upright. Upright rows work your delts, BO rows works your back. When you do BO rows, your knees are bent, and my legs gave out(due to my squat / ext / curls from earlier). I think I might switch to cable rows next go-around to avoid this.

Thats a great workout. Are you doing full body HIT workouts? If not, any reason as to why you combined back and legs on the same day?
