Legs today!

SLDLs
70x 10, 10, 10
I'm pretty sure I can go up a lot more in weight next week, it felt light.

Squats
65 x 10
90x 6, 6, 6
95 x 6 (PR )

Leg extensions
100 x 10
110 x 8
120 x 6, 6

Lying curls
40 x 6, 6, 6
For some reason this exercise does not jive with me. It feels awkward, makes my calves cramp, and feels 'wrong' Maybe I'll phase it out?

Walking lunges x 80

I feel really good today

Trick or Treat!

Nice leg workout trex! I'm also not a huge fan of the lying leg curl. It just doesn't jive with my body either. I'll do them every other workout with hesitation, but I do love the seated curl and SLDL's with db's. Do you do your SLDL's with a barbell or db?

Great job on the squats! Woohoo!

So I went on T nation and checked out an article on hamstrings by Charles Poliquin, and he sets out a little routine that can be done for about 6 weeks.
Its incorporating the leg curls with varied foot positions (inner, neutral, and outer), and keeping the foot flexed as you go up, but pointed as you go down, and he says the cramping should go away after a while. Also i will be starting to incorporate some good mornings into the ham workout for that 6 weeks, so I am thinking that when i begin this 6 week thing, that I may split my leg day up into two days...

I love to switch it up too. I always do the db's cuz' I can get a really good ROM, but the bb is good too. I just did them the other night. My hammies are sore.
