Well I survived leg day, barely!

We started out on 6 standing rear kick type things

using 45 lbs. We then did weighted dumbell lunges from one end of the gym and back again for 4 sets, this was a superset.

Then we did quarter extensions using a pad on the leg extension machine at 55lbs x 15 supersetted with weighted single leg dips 10 per leg for 4 sets.

Then we did full leg extensions for 15 reps supersetted with pop squats for 15 and 4 sets...then on to 30 jumping jack lunges supersetted with pump lunges down the length of the gym..was losing heart control by now:( We finished with 4 sets of 15 for calves...We did other things but can't write it all.. By the timei was done I was out of breath feeling slightly sick and my legs were seriously shaking. I'm getting pumps in the muscles that tie into the top of my knees. Today seemed hard on my lower back and by the pain I feel I'm not sure if I will be walking tomorrow

Yea me and a buddy of mine would always push each other on LEG days because we wanted to make fun of each other for the next 3 days of limping around! ENIGMA!

Worked out a little stiffness doing 4 sets of 30 mountain climbers..woohoo football linebacker here I come.

We did an awesome shoulder workout. I could not even lift my arms to get my water off the weight rack when I was done. She was in drill sergeant mode so she pushed hard and with no rest.

It was all pronated lifts to eye level and hard to finish stuff.. I'm glad its done. Nothing exciting to report.

I hit the gym today to make up for arm day. Did the workout myself so it will hold me over until next weekend. I'm still considering the back to back with her tomorrow. But even if I don't get up that early we are going to the gym. So I will do back tomorrow. I did barbell skullcrushers today so that felt good. She does not do the barbell ones so it felt nice to tear them up again.

Weight pretty much held the same so I either lost muscle and gained fat over the three days or its my imagination

Leg day sucks..

I started out with 4 sets of 15 alternating bench step ups, these were supersetted with walking dumbell lunges across the whole gym for 4 sets.

We then went straight to a triple superset with all weights at 70lbs. We started with leg extensions x 15 straight to laying leg curls on the belly x 15 and then to seated curls x 15. We did these for 4 sets.

Then we did 3 sets of 30 leg presses at 135 lbs. I was whipped by then. We then did deads at 115lbs x 3 sets. This for some reason really jacked up my blood pressure and nailed the naseau home. We then did a set of 50 body weight squats and 3 sets of 30 on calves.

I felt so sick!!!
