It was hot as hell today. Got a lot done in around 45-50 minutes. Legs have always been a very intense day. I really love to hit it as hard as I can.
Squat:
Bar x 12 reps
95 x 12 reps
135 x 10 reps
185 x 8 reps
225 x 8 reps
Wide Stance Good Mornings:
95 x 10 reps
95 x 10 reps
105 x 10 reps
105 x 10 reps
Leg Press:
135 x 10 reps
225 x 10 reps
315 x 10 reps
405 x 10 reps
Olympic Squats:
135lbs x rep out, bar doesn't rack till rep out. 35 reps
At 315 as a max, 225 is a calculated 70% of my max. So those 8 reps were not easy. I try really hard to get to parallel or below. Train lower than you need to so that at the meet its easy to hit depth. I think I could have handled 135lbs on the good mornings. I just wasn't sure. My hamstrings were also getting tight already from the depth of the squats. Leg presses are general assistance on squats so nothing too interesting there. Oly squats were interesting. I've never done them before. I used some plates under my heels to simulate Oly shoes and to help me get to depth. Oh lord did they start to burn. I wanted to hit 50 but I was barely walking after 35. The stairs at home were no fun and I'm pretty sure getting on/off the toilet is going to be painful for the next few days. It was a good day.
