Legs 4/8/2025
As I am writing this up, I can tell you this was a successful leg day. I mean, I killed it. I did return to a set of squats too. Let's get into it:
- Lying leg curls: 2 sets, one leg at a time. I took this to failure with some partials.
- Seated Leg Curl: 2 sets to failure with partials.
- Leg Extensions: 2 sets to failure with partials.
- Smith Machnie Squats: 1 warmup and 1 working set. I did not reach true failure but I was close. I am not confident enough yet to truely fail on squats, even in the smith machine. I will work on this. The reps were higher and I was feeling this deeply in the quads.
- Superset: 3 sets of leg extensions to fail with leg press to failure and partials. I put my feet really low on the leg press and in the deep position I was on my toes. This put a lot of focus on the quads. I used the leg press where I have been doing calves.
- Abs: three sets of cable crunches.
- Calves: 3 sets to failure with paritials.
- Elliptical 20 minutes
What a great workout. This as more quad focused and that is where I felt it most. I forgot I wanted to add some adductors.
My food intake yesterday:
- Pre-workout I had a 1 servings of yogurt, a scoop of meal replacment mix (HLTH Code). I added a second serving of stright yogurt post workout.
- Meal 1 was 10 oz of ground beef / bison mix, 4 eggs, a can of sardines, 0.5 oz of oysters, 0.6 oz of bison liver.
- Meal 2 was yogurt and HLTH Code MRP. Not prefect but we needed to help my son with water in his basement.
- Meal 3 was a 8 oz NY Strip sirloin steak and 4 eggs.
- About 3 hours before bed I had serving of yogurt and a scoop of protein.
My weight this morning was 184.1 pounds. My step count yesterday was 13,082 steps.
