* Calves still sore from my bodyweight only workout two days ago!
Thursday - Legs
* Mixed things up a tad:
1. Instead of triples, I did some doubles and singles to:
a) Work up to a heavier weight
b) Decrease fatigue before my max rep sets
2. Took out one of the 6 rep sets and did an additional 15 rep set
Haven't had a good quad soreness lately, thus I hoped adding in the 15 rep set would help achieve that.
Leg Curl Warmup
15+25 chain, 3 sets of 20
Squat Chains (+50)
220, 240, 260, 280x2
300, 310x1
255x8 extended set, pauses at top when necessary (no pauses necessary today)
255x7
255x8 - usually hit 6, but went for more today since I wasn't as fatigued at this point
195x4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1 - 10 second rest between mini sets
Squat (no chains) - hold performed with legs at about 90 degrees, below mid range ROM
141x5, 5 second hold, 4 reps, 4 second hold, 3 reps, 3 second hold, 2 reps, 2 second hold, 1 rep, 1 second hold - all done continuously, no rest
1 more round with 141
Split Squats (both legs elevated for more ROM)
BWx10 each leg, 3 sets
