I got in a great leg workout this morning. It started a little shaky, but finished great. I intended to squat 405 for some reps, but when I got under it the neck and back were just feeling a little too much pressure, so after 4 reps I just racked it and moved on. The thing with me, is that when something like that happens it makes me mad. I do not except "marginal" or "ok" workouts. I always fully stimulate the muscle that I set out to work. So I used a technique on leg presses that really pumps the muscle without stressing the joint. I rest only 30 seconds between sets and prop my legs up on the sled when resting to make the body over-compensate forcing blood into the muscle. Here it is:
squat: 45-20; 95-6; 135-6; 225-6; 315-6; 405-4
leg press: 450-20,20,20,20,20 (5 sets with 30 second rest period with the feet propped up on the sled. They were pumped!)
leg curl: 60-20; 75-20,15,6
super-set with leg extension: 90-20,15,12
standing 1-leg curl: 60-15,15
