Day 2 of OVT
Legs and Abdominals

today's workout was gruelling...! i dont think i've felt so much pain ever before: and it felt GOOD...!!!

A1: Barbell Deadlifts = 100 kgs
A2: Reverse Dumbbell Lunges = 36 kgs
as you can see, i did amazing deadlifts... 111 kgs (including the weight of the rod) for 5 sets of 5 reps... but honestly: that pretty much exhausted me... lunges were good... but tiring as hell

B1: Barbell Back Squats = 70 kgs
B2: Leg Press = 100 kgs
Firstly, i have to explain what type of Leg Press is available for me. I know most leg presses are decline i.e. the person has to sit below the weights and push them upwards. But, the technogym leg press at my gym is reverse. The weightlifter sits in an incline position and pushes the weight downwards i.e. he moves upwards.
On a different note, i was very unhappy with the squat. I thought i would be able to take 75 or 80, but i was so tired after deadlifts that i knew 75 would be pushing my luck too far. Hopefully, i should be able to lift heavier in the weeks to come.

C1: Leg Extensions = 75 kgs
Leg Curls = 45 kgs
i wish i had taken 50 or 55 kgs for leg curls. but since i had made the mistake of starting with 45, i didn't change the weight, but i've made a mental note to lift heavier next time.

Overall Impression: Superb workout. Feels good. I think i'm gonna be very very sore tomorrow. So mostly i wont be doing any cardio. But since i did not do abs today, i'll be doing abs tomorrow. And full body stretching.
