It's Been A Decade Since I Did This

     It's my favorite day of the week and I didn't miss it! I got some good stuff done. Take a look:
••••••••••
BACK SQUAT:
Bar x10
95lb x10
135lb x8
155lb x4
155lb x5
155lb x3
(135lb x5) 2x

LEG EXTENSIONS / BACK RAISE W/TWIST:
(90lb x10 (slow) / x10) 3x
*I had initially started with 120lbs and got 5 reps, but my right knee was beginning to protest. I lightened the weight substantially and did slow, deliberate reps instead.

LAYING HAMSTRING CURLS:
(80lb x10) 3x

CALF RAISES (SEATED LEG PRESS MACHINE):
(100lb x10) 3x
*I also was going to do some leg presses, but decided against it after feeling some pain. 

MULTI HIP MACHINE:
INNER:
29lb x12 ea.
35lb x10 ea.
41lb x8 ea.
OUTER:
(35lb x8) 3x ea.
••••••••••
     It has been 10 years since I've done that weight for reps. I may not have gotten a full 3 sets of 5, but I'm so proud of what I did get! They felt good, and stable. The last couple were a little shaky, but I'll still take it. Now, that being said, my right knee is a wee bit upset. I'll baby it this weekend and it should be good to go.
     We will probably be missing Monday's session because a big snow storm is expected for Sunday through Monday. We're looking at about 20" and I LOVE IT! In any case, it'll give me and extra day to rest my knee lol.
