Thanks. This is the beginning of a few weeks of 5 x 5 for me. The only exception is MM stuff for bench training. I'm used to so much more volume that this workout seemed very short.

For the last 3 weeks, I have not been very strict on my diet. My calories are still up, but I need better calories. Today, I'm getting back on track to record my diet each week.

Week 1 - Legs - 10/8/03

I was hesitant to jump back into leg training because of my achy knees, but I could not wait any longer. It was time to feel some weight again.

Leg Presses 3 plates x 5, 4 plates x 5, 5 plates x 5, 6 plates x 5, 7 plates x 5
Leg Curls 100 x 10, 150 x 10

I did experience a little pain in my knees while performing these, but I pushed through and got the blood flowing. I knew I'd be icing my knees as soon as I got home and that's exactly what I did.

Calf Presses 3 plates x 20 x 20 x 20 x 20 x 20 x 20

This evening, my knees are feeling ok. Not much different that how the last week or so has been going.
