Lower Body / Leg Day 8/31/2024

I did not push it today. The tweak in my back did not cause any issues, but I am adding intensity and weight back slowly. I warmed up with a set of leg extensions, a set of seated leg curls, 10 reps of RDL with just the bar, and a light set of seated calves raises. The rest of the workout follows:

RDL: 135 x5, 225 x4, 275 x 4, 295 x 4, I did not so the 3rd set.
Front Squats: 95x4, 115x4, 135 x4, 135 x4, Again, skipped the 3rd set
Seated Calves:140 x15, 200 x5, 295 x6, 295 x6, and I skipped the 3rd set

These sets were doing in a giant set. I do RDL, then Front Squat, then seated calves .. rinse, and repeat

Old Leg Ext: 100 x 10, 150 x 6, -
Lying Leg Curl: 100 x4, 45 x10, -
LP Calves: Light .. x10, 10, -

Hanging Leg Raise (no added weight today) x10, 10, -

Reverse Hyper 90 x15, 15, -

I am so happy to have the old leg extension machine back. It has a better range of motion and provides a great stretch. I will recalibrate and use this for legs over the True unit.

The only time I felt any funny stuff in my back was leg curls. It was not bad, but I want to make sure there is nothing that will be a problem so I will play the long game and take a couple workouts to work back up to the previous working weights. This is only for my quad and hamp work.
