Day 5: Legs
Squats 4 8-10 (total of 6 sets, I took Erics advice, and warmed up by doing squats not stretches) I also did a heavy set of 5 for the last set,
Leg Extensions 3 8-10 (legs felt a little bit tired on these, and I didnt do nearly as much as the normal weight, but this is due to the squats first)
Stiff-Legged Dead Lifts 3 8-10 same technic as usual 135 for these, worst part was I had a slight asthma attack and forgot my inhaler at home lol, so I was taking like 5 minute breaks between sets to catch my breath
Lying Leg Curls 3 8-10 70, 80 90
Leg Presses 3 8-10 3 plates each side, 4 plates, 5 plates
Lunges 3 8-10 held 20's and walked around lol
Crunches 4 12-15

I took erics, advice on the stretching

PNF has been shown in studies to cause short-term gains in strength so that is why I mentioned it. Whereas traditional static stretching is more likely to do just the opposite.
you were 100% right with this (not that I doubted it) but I did some light squats instead of stretching and I actually did have an easier time going through my usual poundages, and was able to go much heavier on this. I did some stretching after my workout
