      today

      legs

      5 min stationary bike
      roller work
      lying leg curls 60x10 80x10 100x10 120x15/5 (only 30sec rest between sets and these were a freaking *****)
      leg press 200x10 290x10 380x10 470x10 560x10 600x10 780x10 960x10 *cut short, knee felt a little off so i didnt push it) 3 sec negatives also
      squats 135x5 225x20 225x20 225x20 225x20
      leg extensions 105x8 120x8 120x8(x20p)
      machine leg press 1.5s 335x10/3

      done for the day. damn brutal workout today. leg curls even kicked my ass hitting failure on the last 3 sets and literally barely getting the last rep or 2. then move onto the leg press and my knee felt a little off so i had to pull up a couple plates short on those. i think the slow negatives made a difference and my feet were shifting a little bit on me. so my knee def didnt like that at all. the squats sets of 20 no notes needed at all on that one. another day leaving the gym with my legs tight and buckling on me haha. great freaking day even if it wasnt the strongest.

      nice long slow 3 sec negs with another nice long pause at the bottom before exploding it back up. it was pretty stupid and crazy how much of a difference slowing down more than usual makes. you want to try an extra stupid one on your next heavy leg day? set the pins right about where you stop at the bottom. when you do your reps you let the weight settle completely with no tension for a sec or two then you explode it back up. dead stop reps with zero momentum.

      today

      abs/calves/back

      decline leg raise x10/4
      machine toe press 190x10 210x15 230x15 250x15 270x15 290x15 310x15
      db rows 80x8 100x8 120x8/4
      one arm sup pull downs 60x10/4
      cable rope pullovers 120x12/4
      constant tension rack pulls 125x3 185x3 225x3 225x6/3 (each rep took about 10-12 secs. constant tension and stupid slow tempo)

      done for the day. not the strongest day in the books but still very productive. my lats were still a little bit sore from monday so i didnt crank a ton of weight today, i put 100% focus into perfect form and long contractions on everything. so pushed a lot of blood in and hopefully it will clear out the buildup of waste in there from the last couple of days. tomorrow and saturday are somewhat easier days, so i should jump back and not be as sore.

      incline db press 25x8 40x8 55x8 70x8 90x8 105x8
      incline bb press 155x6 175x6 225x6 265x6 285x6 315x6

      reverse peck deck fly 90x20/3
      over and back press to full lock 95x10/3
      db lats 10 and 2 20x12/2
      10 min step mill intervals 1-1

      done for the day. super bad pressed for time today so this was a marathon of a session. even though the pace was stupid fast we were still able to move some really good weight. the mrs hit 135 for 6 on the incline with no spot whatsoever and we were probably only getting max 30 sec between sets if we were lucky. today was also my first official day of interval cardio. it beat my ass down big time. i felt and thought i was in much better condition cardio wise than i actually am haha. i almost puked and my legs were trying their damndest to cramp up on me. the first 3 sprints were golden and i could control my breathing. the remainder i was sucking air like a champ. love the process even though it sucks ass at the time haha. plus i will pass out or die before i quit something i have in my head to do.

      hs pull downs w/iso contraction 25x8 35x8 45x8 70x8/4

      incline db concentration curls 20x10/4
      reverse bb curls 40x12/3
      sled rows 140lbs additional resistance 4 rounds 40 yards each.

      done for the day. not my strongest day on the books but everything other than that felt really good. really pushed the weight up on the sled rows and did them all back to back with about 20 sec rest between sets. the whole workout we really drove the pace hard. no time crunch today but we went hard. that could be why strength was down a bit. the mrs wasnt haha but mine was. she is actually moving up in strength while mine was off today a bit. eh, it's all good could be a little tired or whatever. we dont have 100% days every day. well now that i think about it, it damn sure could have been killing myself on the intervals yesterday. that's most likely what it is. figured that one out just now.
