Thurs - Legs

First, it seems I have lost a little weight. I didn't think I had but I weighed myself after supper and I am down to 265. Seems I have reached the tipping point. Now, as long as I can keep the strength we are in business. If today is any indication, I am doing ok ;-) I didn't feel like today was going to be a strong day, but it was. Only drawback was my shoulders and back were killing me so I split my squats with with a dip belt to get some of the weight off of my shoulders. Only drawback with that is you can't go very deep, but you can get to 90 degrees.

• Usual 6 minute warmup on the stairmaster (My favorite piece of cardio equipment)
• Squats - 1x8x310 1x8x360 1x8x410 1x8x430 (uncharted territory, my knees did not like this)
• Leg curls - 1x8x90 1x8x100 1x8x110 1x6x120 (I was actually pretty happy with these)
• Leg extensions - 2x8x220 1x8x240 1x8x250 (My legs were shakin! I felt weak like little girl after this)
• Calf raises - 4x20x410 on each leg
• Dead lifts - 1x8x360 1x8x380 1x8x410 1x8x420
  
• Cable crunches - 2x50x160 1x30x180 1x50x180 (I almost puked, and I'm not kidding)

Today rocked! Makes a guy feel like pillaging a village!
