Monday - Lower Body

[ffknight84]

First off, I got in the gym and had a huge rush of adrenaline, havent really been in there full strength in over 3 weeks. Nevertheless, I took it light and easy, and my lifting goal is to strengthen my core ( whereas my physique goal is 195 @ 8% ). All exercises performed raw, and strict form to prevent injuries.

Squat ( wide & deep )

45x8
95x8
135x6
185x6
225x6x3 ( back is feeling great, only rep that gave me trouble was the final rep of the final set, and that still went up easy as far as squatting goes )
135x20 ( breathing good, should have done about 165 )

Stiff Leg Deadlifts

135x8
185x8x2 ( i could feel the burn in my erecters & ZERO pain )

Standing Calf Press ( in the smith machine toes on a block )

95x8
135x8x2

Ofcoarse i did some other core work too.

Strength wise, I could tell I was out of the gym for awhile. My squats are down ( I estimate I could push out 245 for a full 3x6, a 30 pound drop ) The stiff legs felt great. Man did i miss the gym. Volume is down, but i still managed to hit my legs hard. As I get back into it, about a month or so, Im gonna add in another set on those 2x8s, and maybe another one on the 3x6s.

ye i honestly have no clue what position im playing this year. i was going to be a long stik middie, but we lost a short stick D man, and theres always the possibility of me going to offensive middie. So i just run and run till my legs are shot. I need to get the weights back up there tho, thats one advantage i always had, strength ( from football ) to push others around.
