lpeterssonMy legs would appear to have turned into pieces of boiled spaghetti. Ow.
I didn't go to the gym while I was in Lanzarote and in the days leading up to that vacation I had too many things to do so I couldn't get to the gym so it's been nearly two weeks since i last visited those hallowed halls properly (Apart from yesterdays bitchingly good chest work-out).
And today I decided to do legs for the first time in about two weeks.
5 sets of squats (two wide stance, 3 narrow) for 15, 12, 8, 8, 6 reps. Ooohhh that felt good
3 sets each of leg curls and extensions 15, 15, 11 reps. Mmmm, at this point I had to take a breather as I was ready to hurl (That's a good sign by the way).
A quick go on the adductor machine for 3x15 reps and then on to the romanian deadlifts.
2 sets of 15 and one set of 7 with 55kg and I was ready for the leg press.
At this point I realised that I should chill out and instead of leg presses did calf raises on the legpress machine. My legs were just shaking too darned much.
At the end I could just about make it to the sauna without collapsing although navigating the stairs wasn't as easy as normal. Mmmm, this is gonna hurt like a bitch over the next few days.
I'm now tempted to go back a bit later and have a proper back and shoulder workout.
