Had a great workout today. I was definetely weak in a lot of areas, but I still feel good that I did the best that my body was able to do today.

I’m thinking that Fridays should be Leg Day. Cuz it seems like Friday is everyone else’s chest day so all the benches were taken which meant I had to start with incline DB press, which I really did not want to do first, but oh well.

Oh, has anyone ever seen someone do Power Rack curls? Like… really? People do that? Squat Rack curls not cutting it?
It hurt my heart, I must say.

Then I took 10 steps backward and had a gyro and 5 slices of pizza.
Oops?

Post work out carbs FTW.

Again another beastly display you savage lil thing.
Those 40LB DBs kill me on the incline! You and those 40’s. Damn.

On your calf press in the leg extension machine what tempo do you use? Not to get all lame with tempo because who REALLY pays uber attention to that but do you hold the press?

Hallowed, you’re good for my ego.

I treat the leg press like any other calf exercise; extend at bottom, pause at top.
Just bouncing the weight off the balls of my feet won’t do anything, not looking to cheat myself.

When I’ve splits in the past, legs are always in the beginning of the week when I’m fresh(and clean). haha

Aren’t Mondays universal Bench press days at your gym? :slight_smile:

a gyro AND pizza? eek
gym having a party or something?

Could be, I’m in school Mondays.

No, Gold’s Gym won’t do that.
There’s this self-proclaimed NY style pizzeria I never ate ate so I decided to try it. I got a gyro because I doubted that the pizza was really NY style, then had a bite of the pizza and concluded that they were the real deal.

It’s okay, I was dieting hard for 2 weeks with my only cheat a potato skin a few days ago, my metabolism can use the boost.

fst-7?

I’ve been keeping up with FST-7… legs, back, and did them for triceps and calves for the first time today.

I remember when I used to train calves. They’d grow so fast…I never train them anymore…they used to call me “diamond” because of how my calves look from the front after sprinting during football season. lol

anyway…

your arms must have been on fire! nice workout hot mama!

I pray that I never have to do a leg workout during that time of the month EVER AGAIN.
Of course skipping a workout because of that is never an option, but I’ll be damned if I wasn’t less motivated cuz of it.
On top of trying a new brand of tampons which was uncomfortable as all hell… damn me for trying new things.

My bad, I’ll end the rant to head to my workout.
BTW, eating the most delicious zeppoli known to man. Just putting that out there.
