Today was the day. I finally felt ready, recovered, and strong to test out my squats. I ate extra, downed 3/4 of a hemo rage and warmed up good, even though it was over 100 in the gym with 120% humidity.
1a) Ham curls
40 x 4 x 10
1b) Calf raises
75 x 4 x 10
2) Squats John came back to help me.
bar x 8
95 x 8 they looked pretty awful. Usually do until I'm warmed up better
115 x 5
135 x 2
from here on out I had to make each lift a competition lift.
155 x 1 fast
now I had to squat 175 since last time I got 170. If I got this, I could go on and try 190. My goal. If I miss, I am done. It's like finish your dinner and then you can have your dessert :) He has funny analagies, that work.
175 x 1 real fast. Time for dessert.
but first...John loaded 235 for a walkout that I held for 3 seconds
190 x well, almost. It was assisted a tiny bit. I went way too deep. But it came up. Doesn't count as a good lift but it still felt great to get it up.
135 x 12 (+2 rep PR)
3) Leg press
1 plate x 3 x 10
4) Quad Extensions
40 x 3 x 10
50 x 9
