Week 6: Legs

This post is coming after a weekend trip to New York where my family visited for my sister's graduation. On the one hand, I enjoyed good eats, fun times, and got to play tourist for the weekend. On the other, I missed last week's back day and this week's first chest day (bummer). Ah well, I will have to carry on forward from here.

Today's lifts were the expected progression in my squat, which seems to be going pretty well. Legs are getting stronger, and if I could just hurry the workout up a little bit more, I'd really be on the right track with some calisthenic conditioning.. here is the breakdown:

Barbell squats:

• 135 x 10
• 135 x 10
• 135 x 10
• 295 x 3
• 315 x 3
• 345 x 3 belted
• 365 x 3 belted +10lb from last week
• 365 x 3 belted

Machine leg press (assuming 45lb carriage):

• 315 x 10
• 405 x 10
• 495 x 10
• 585 x 10
• 675 x 10

Machine leg curl:

• 115 x 10
• 115 x 10
• 115 x 10

Abs:

75 crunches

Final thoughts: not much to report here. I have changed my grip on squats to let it rest a little higher up than I had it before, since it was bothering my wrists. I'll continue making adjustments.
