Had to rush through those step-ups before the gym closed, brutal. Overall tired and feeling a bit under the weather today. Wife and kids have colds, I’m next
45° Back raises:
30x10 weight bar behind the neck
50x10 bar behind the neck
75x8x2 weight held in front
Single leg seated hamstring curl:
70x10
70x9x2
Ab wheel: from knees
BWx15x4
Seated calf raises:
100x10x3
Bar behind the neck on the back raises was uncomfortable AF. Got a real sick stretch on the calf raises by setting up the machine a little different. My right ankle has worse dorsiflexion than the left maybe this will help correct it.
Leg press, pin stack machine, single leg:
50x9
70x8
90x8x3
My left leg felt two to three reps weaker than my right on the leg press, need to fix that. Also, the GHR pad was set higher than I usually have it on the first set, and it felt easy. I think I have been doing the GHRs on the hardest setting this whole time. On this machine the knee pad height adjusts, so I think lowering it makes the movement harder, and I have always put it on the lowest setting. I also have my knees at the back of the pad and a bit down in between the foot plate and pad, but perform the movement a lot like a Nordic hamstring curl.
Dog died yesterday and I stayed home with the kids while my wife was at the vet, so I pushed back yesterday’s workout to today. RIP Toby, he was a good boy. I’ve been going to work early to do more this week because two of my coworkers quit. Not sleeping well last few nights.
Switching up the template slightly as far as order of the workouts in the week and trying the assistance format from 531 Forever with push, pull, and singe leg/core assistance lifts each day.
