Let's talk more about legs...

Yesterday I did a serious leg workout. When I say serious, I mean I did things pretty intensely over a period of an hour. It was the first time in a good while that I didn't feel sick or uncomfortable at the end. I think the time away from regular heavy leg workouts hurt me, or just running and walking a lot in Austin changed something about the way my body responds. So, no sickness yesterday! Yepee.

I hope I can remember my routine:
  • squats; 15 reps, no weight; 15 reps, 50 lbs on bar; 15 reps, 50 lbs on bar; 10 reps, 90 lbs on bar; 10 reps, 90 lbs on bar
  • plate loading squat rack; 20 reps, 90 lbs on bar with feet wide apart; 20 reps, 90 lbs on bar with feet close together; 20? reps, 180 lbs on bar with feet wide apart; 20? reps, 180 lbs on bar with feet close together
  • leg press machine; I think I did the same routine as above. I was concentrating on just doing two sets of stuff rather than three - although that changes later in the workout
  • plie squats; 65 lbs, 15 reps; 65 lbs, 15 reps; 85 lbs, 10 reps, 85 lbs, 10 reps
  • seated calf raise; 25 reps, 25 lbs; 20 reps, 50 lbs; 15 reps, 75 lbs - for some reason, I think I did more than this but I'm not sure
  • leg curls; 15 reps, 30 lbs; 15 reps, 55 lbs
  • what I call the butt blaster aka "Glute" machine; right leg: 15 reps, 30 lbs; 15 reps, 55 lbs; left leg: 15 reps, 30 lbs; 15 reps, 55 lbs
  • 10 minutes on the elliptical machine 160 rpms... so pretty relaxed.
That's it!
I'm taking today off.
