- A2G numbers continue to climb. Felt terrific. It doesn't look like a lot on paper (1x3), but in actuality this is what I did: 135x10, 185x8, 225x5, 255x5, 275x1, [295x3, 315x3, 335x3]-> Worksets. That's a lot of A2G squatting, so don't be fooled to think I'm cheese-dicking my legs.
I felt a pain in my upper back doing power shrugs so I cut them short and replaced it with pullthroughs, which IMO nail my hams and extensors. Leg press was not bad, I include them for the higher rep volume. The machine I used was NOT the easy sliding one that I can load a piano on to...This one is a lot harder, greater ROM. I did lying ham curls which are a lot harder than the seated ones I've done in the past. I rest/paused them to 25 total. Calves were a killer. Doing them DC is the way to go...Basically I did 12 DC reps which are 5 second negative, 12 second extreme stretch, fast contraction...And the process repeats. Heavy abs only to strengthen my core for heavier lifts.
