Alright... done. 135 to start was too heavy. I knew it right away. Luckily I had made up another workout with 185 as my max. Yeah yeah I'm a sissy... I know.
I made up a spreadsheet to take with me to write down what I did and it really helps.
Also today I know I could have gone heavier. I made some mid-stream adjustments but didn't push real hard. I don't want injury nor do I want to curl up in the middle of the night like a pillbug screaming.
Squat
Reps/Weight
12 x 85
10 x 85
6 x 120
3 x 145
1 x 165
3 x 6 x 185
185 was the right weight for the three sets of six. Since I completed them I'll put some 5's on for the next workout.
Leg Press
I was way off on this one. I put two 45's on each side and it was just too easy. I adjusted with two more plates for three on a side but even then it was too easy. I'll adjust for next time.
3 x 4 plates
6 x 4 plates
6 x 6 plates
Stiff Leg Deadlifts
Off again. Too light but this is an exercise where I need to keep form so I would hate to go too heavy here.
3 x bar
2 x 6 x 95
Standing Machine Calves
The gym doesn't have one so I used this Nautilus thing that has a belt around the waist. Sucked. After the workout I spotted the smith machine and will use that next time.
3 x stack
2 x 8 x stack
45 leg press calf raises
The leg press was such that you couldn't do calf raises and get a stretch so I substituted seated calf raises. Hope that works as well.
Again too light.
3 x 2 plates
2 x 8 x 2 plates
Overall I got a good workout though not great due to being off on my weights. I felt I probably did as well as my normal workout though before Max-OT. I shall see how I feel tomorrow and the next day.
I sit here drinking my protein shake with a nanner in it.
