I Lied

     I said, just yesterday, that I was not going to go up in weight on my squats. I even set out today with the intention of keeping things light and fudging around with some Anderson squats. I used to do them back in the day and they helped get me stronger. Well, you know, I got into the power rack and put the rails down and tried one. It seemed OK, but, I dunno, it wasn't feeling "right". So I got aggravated and just went heavier on regular squats. Which makes me a liar but I don't care. Here's what got done:

••••••••••

BACK SQUATS:

65lb x8

*These were the Anderson squats. I wasn't feeling them, so I just went with regular 'ol squats from here on out.

115lb x10

135lb x6

155lb x5

155lb x2

135lb x6

135lb x8

*I thought this last set was only 6, but Frank said it was 8.

45° LEG PRESS/CALF RAISES:

190lb x15

(280lb x5 / +50lb x10) 3x

LEG CURL:

50lb x6

60lb x6

70lb x6

80lb x6

90lb x6

100lb x6

110lb x6

LEG EXTENSIONS:

50lb x6

60lb x6

70lb x6

80lb x6

INNER/OUTER:

(50lb x10 ea.) 2x

(40lb x15 ea.) 2x

MULTI HIP MACHINE KICKBACK:

(wt. ? x10 ea. leg) 3x

*I forgot to look at the chart to see how much the machine was set for. If I had to guess, I'd say it was probably around 30lbs.

     That was it. I feel like I should have done more even though I am absolutely zonked. I feel good that I hit 155lb on squats and Frank is happy that I finally "manned up" and put 4 plates on the leg press. My knees are holding up well, although I did have some pain on those Anderson squats. I'm not sure if it was the lift or just that I needed to work my knees a little first. The pain went away and I had no issues with anything else. My back also feels good and I'm loving my new belt! I'm not sure I ever shared it, but there's a picture of it below.

     All in all, I'm pleased with today. I didn't eat before we went so I am starving at the moment and need to go eat something. My diet is in shambles, as usual. I'm just trying to eat as clean and as healthy as I can. I just can't seem to eat enough. There are days that I'm forcing myself to eat and that's not like me at all. The scale shows no progress, and my eyes aren't seeing any changes. I'm obviously getting stronger, so I don't know what the deal is. At least I'm never bored trying to figure it out.
