Active Stretched...boy did I need it
Warm ups..
Rope Crunch
Various cable woodchops
ATG Squats
The bar for 8 reps
135lbs for 6 reps
185lbs for 6 reps
245lbs for 6 sets, 4 reps (60 sec RI)
DB Lunges (like before, no rests between steps)
40lb DBs for 2 sets, 12 steps (24 sec to complete set, 45 sec RI)
Same thing but it took 27 sec and I needed over 60 sec RI after the 2nd set (3 sets total)
Seated Calf
1 plate for 2 sets, 8 reps
3 plates + 10lbs for 5 sets, 6 reps (30 sec RI)
Eliptical..
2 min warm up
4 sets of lvl 10, 165-170 strides, 1 min intervals w/4 sets of lvl 6, 130 strides, 1 min intervals
3 min cool down
Static Stretched
Strength wise, today was good, pschologically, today was challenged.
I really wanted to quit the Squats after the 2nd set. They werent burning until the 5th-6th sets, I was just out of breath. But the volume was perfect. I might keep this RI and just up the intensity if I can do it...
Lunges...jesus, the 2nd set killed me. My first set I was thinking, oh, man, what a pussy, I couldve done more steps, fuck it, Ill just have a short RI.
That shit caught up with me in a hurry.
Calves were average.
Cardio was short but hard. I am a little low on time plus I have small motivation for cardio on leg days.
