Wed Leg day - Usually my rest day.

First I'll start with a weigh in. I don't know why nobody thinks I weigh
this much.

To be honest, that was just luck. I weighed myself before lunch this afternoon and it was 268. The scales at work are most likely more accurate than my home scale. I ate well today too. Lots of bran, a whole bowl of rice, a can of chicken, 2 shakes, etc... Finished it all off tonight with two venison burgers! mmmm mmmmm!

Ok, quick once over of how I train. I no longer do pyramids. I do one light warm up set followed by 3 progressively heavier sets. I go as heavy as I can to 8 reps but no more than 10. Always to failure. Sometimes I'll toss on an extra set if I'm not hurting enough. I also go heavy on the reps for my calves and abs. They seem to respond a lot better to that.

My workouts are long, usually around 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Once again, it works for me. I have lots of energy and recover pretty quickly. I've tried short intense workouts and I just don't gain or get that much stronger. With this routine, Mon/Tue/Thur/Fri, I have been adding
10 -20lbs to my lifts a week. I'm sure this won't keep going forever, but it's still going strong right now.

Ok, Legs:

• 6 minute warmup on the stairmaster
• Squats 8X280 8X310 8X360 8X410 8X410 (extra set, felt great)
• Leg curl 8X70 8X110 8X110 8X100 (My hams suck)
• Leg extension 8X210 8X220 8X220 8X240 (Nice and slow reps, man they hurt)
• Calf raises 20X410 both legs 20X410 each leg 15X410 each leg, 19/20X410 each leg (Left leg gave out after 19 reps)
• Back extensions 10X320 10X410 10X410 10X410
• Seated Ab crunches 20X140 20X160 20X180 25X200 (OUCH! I'll feel this in a couple days)

That about wraps it up. Knocked back a shake as soon as I was done and took a shower. Tomorrow is Chest and shoulder day. I'll try to get some pics. I was going to tonight but ran out of steam after the workout and didn't feel like it.
