SATURDAY - LEGS
Feel like the test is really getting into the system now, and feeling better for it - still struggling with energy crashes around 3pm no matter what I've eaten previous, so unlikely to be food related, so who knows why.
Weight I have no idea as haven't weighed myself for weeks - wouldn't be surprised if it ain't gone up as knee and elbow sleeves feeling tighter so suggests muscle is going on, even if BF isn't going down.
Anyway i'm digressing...the session....
TOE PRESS - on plate loaded leg press
100 x20
120 x20
140 x18
160 x14
175 x11
185 x6
165 x14
145 x14

Thought I'd mix it up a bit than plate loaded calf raise every time, so jumped on this. Haven't checked back to see if any good, but felt ok.
HACK SQUAT
60 x10
100 x8
150 x6
200 x5
250 x4
300 x3
340 x2
370 x13 PB
200 x24
Started as normal with 60 & 100, then thought sod messing around with plates so much, and just go up in 25's per side then have plates ready for leg press after (next to it). Did think of doing a rep or so less on some of the warm ups as usually final one is a single, but kept them high(er). 340 felt heavy, as it should, and expected to struggle more going to 370 (iirc last week was a PB at 360 for 12), and probably got 8 ok, then slowed, and just kept them going, and 13 was fckin tough, which is one rep up with an extra 10kg, so well happy with that. Back down to 200, and couldn't remember how many I did last time, but thought I needed 20+, and 15/16 weren't that hard, but started hitting hard, and slowed and slowed but kept them going, and had to support myself getting up as nearly fell over lol.
LEG PRESS
200 x10
250 x8
300 x6
350 x6
400 x6
450 x5
500 x5
535 x5
565 x10 PB
Usual warm ups, 500 was hard, 535 was bloody hard - 9x25's each side, 2x25, a 20 and a 15 on top (max is 550 using every 25 in place) as wanted a weight as intermediary between 500 and going for a new PB. Grabbed a couple of 15kg DB's and found somewhere to site them on there (not as easy to do as leisure centre) and psyched myself up and went for it and not knowing a target just went to absolute limit, and 10th was borderline getting back to pins, checked back and same reps as last week but an extra 15kg - can't knock it
Felt real close to puking putting plates back
LEG PRESS - ham focus/3-4ct neg/constant tension
200 x10
250 x8 - sacked off
Can't pinpoint it, but something felt amiss here in hams, predominately right one, and don't know if last 2 exercises getting the PB's wiped me out a bit, I decided to play safe and jump to next machine in the line, leg extns.
LEG EXTNS
100 x20
100 x20
100 x19+1partial
Just as I threw my stuff on floor on RHS of machine, someone else chucked his bag on LHS, so we agreed to work in together with his mate. They had 50kg on and on my turn felt like arm was going to fly away and to make less messing about, stuck another 25 p/s on, first set was maybe 8/8.5rpe, 2nd was a 9.5, and 3rd was a 10. Was happy with 3 sets so left them with it.
LEG CURLS
p55 x12 - 4ct +ve & -ve
p55 x9 - 4ct +ve/2ct hold/4ct -ve
p55 x8 - as above
Nothing spectacular as unsure of ham, right more so, so super slow - loads more there, but again played safe, although adding the 2ct hold felt more productive. Guess I could of done some cardio but decided on resting the ham 'just in case'
Overall, yep, 2 more PB's so can't complain, shame about ham, but I'll save myself to fight another day
