Don't worry about the squats....it happens once in a while.....You scored 10 touchdowns ?????????? What's that ?

**Devlin** · 03-10-2006, 07:25 AM

You call that deloading

Looks like a pretty good workout to me. Stiff back

Sounds like someone needs a massage

That's my cardio. I go to a football field and run sprints. 100 yd sprint, followed by a 20 yd (back and forth through the endzone) walk to catch my breath and then repeat until exhausted.

Compared to my normal volume, it felt like deloading to me.

And yes, a massage would certainly be welcomed.

Well I would offer my massage therapist, but I doubt Serge would travel that far. However, the man does have great hands

**boilermaker** · 03-10-2006, 05:30 PM

So Trips, what do you feel is a good ratio 45 degree leg press:squats in regards to weight? About 2:1?

Today was the planned day off, and I've felt out of sorts all day, as if something wasn't quite right. Bagged the cardio, too, so it will be two complete days off.

boiler

It would depend on the leg press, the angle of the seat back, the amount of friction on the sled (ie, how smoothly the sled rides).

That said, I think 2:1 is too low (at least it seems so for me). I'd be inclined to go with anywhere from 3:1 to 4:1.

I felt out of sorts not working out Sat morning. I had this feeling all day like something was missing. I am such a creature of habit.

Of course.. i mean its a shit hole of a city generally speaking, but the nightlife cant be complained about, especially when 90% of it is run by mob and i'm under 21
