Bangin'

     Tonight was lower body and we settled on squats. Not much to say about it so let's get right to the work. Here's what got done:

BACK SQUATS:

65lb x10
85lb x10
90lb x10
(95lb x5) 3x
Bar wide/mid/narrow x10 ea.
*improvement over last week - 3 warm up sets instead of 2 and they were at heavier weights. Also got a full 3 working sets at 95lb.

HAMSTRING CURLS:
50lb x10
60lb x10
50lb x10

LEG EXTENSIONS:
(55lb x10) 3x

PRECOR LEG PRESS:
40lb x20
SINGLE LEG: (20lb x5 ea. leg) 2x
*my left knee started complaining, so I called it quits.

MULTI HIP MACHINE:
INNER THIGH ( ea. leg): 29lb x10 
                                           35lb x10
                                           41lb x10
OUTER THIGH (ea. leg): (29lb x10) 3x
KICK BACKS (ea. leg): 29lb x10 
                                         35lb x10
                                         41lb x10
••••••••••
     As I was dying on the multi hip machine tonight, I was reading the information stickers that they have on it. I was under the impression that the numbers on the plates (1, 2, 3, etc.) were the weights. They aren't. The tiny little chart shows you the weights that they correspond to. So my previous posts are incorrect, but I'm not going back to fix them lol. 
     As far as the squats, well, I'm actually really proud of myself. I added not only extra sets, but extra weight. If I was doubting my efforts, all I have to do is read in black and white the improvements that I've made. Frank and I are both working our asses off and we're starting to see results. 
     On a little side note/rant, I don't understand the people that bang the weights down on the machines. Some dude was in there smacking the plates down on every rep like his worst enemy was under them. It was annoying. Seriously guy, nobody cares how much you're pushing when you do that. It's douchey. Just stop.
