good overall workout, i didn't feel all that excited heading into the gym, but once i started lifting i started to get into it and i think everything went well, all the lifts are either going up in weight, or i'm doing more reps with the same weight, either way it's progress so i can't be mad at that


4/29/08 Lower Body Workout #1

squats 5rm - 385x5
new 5rm, but i completely screwed the pooch on the last rep - i didn't feel like i got as low as i did in the previous reps (i have decided that the trainers at my gym blow b/c they don't give honest feedback - the girl said i was at or below parallel on all of my reps but i am pretty damn sure i was a little high on the last rep and she was just telling me what i wanted to hear) plus, on the last rep i got on my toes too much and i could feel my hips rising too early. staying at this weight again for next week
goodmornings 3x5 - 200x5, 200x5, 200x5
leg press 3x10-12 - 540x10, 540x10, 540x10
after working my way up in weight for a while i have finally found a weight that feels pretty heavy, so now time to work on getting all 12 reps
hyperextensions 3x10-12 - 45x12, 45x12, 45x12
up to a 10 second hold at the top on the last rep of every set
abs 6 sets - done
seated calf raise machine 4x12-15 330x15, 330x15, 330x15, 330x15
