Alright, catch up time!
Quads and Calves
I managed to get a day off on Friday to do some apartment hunting. I dropped off the kids at daycare so I could take care of some apartment showings without distractions. But first I had to hammer my legs.
5 min. warm up on recumbant bike
Smith Machine Squats / Smith Machine Standing Calf Raises
135 x 12 / 135 x 20, 5 reps single leg with BW
185 x 10 / 185 x 18, 5 reps single leg with BW
225 x 8 / 225 x 15, 5 reps single leg with BW
275 x 5 / 275 x 10, 5 reps single leg with BW
135 x 10 / 135 x 15, 5 reps single leg with BW
Obviously not the same as BB squats, but I tried to vary my foot placement in order to hit different fibers.

130 x 9 / 110 x 10, 100 x 5, 90 x 5

540 x 5, 450 x 5, 360 x 5, 270 x 5 / 360 x 5, 270 x 5, 180 x 5, BW x 8
Legs were officially fried by the end of this workout. I felt like my calves were going to cramp up at any minute.
After a week of THE 1 I'm really starting to feel some alpha male stuff going on. I've started staring guys down that I catch looking at my girlfriend. Haven't done that in a while. Not sure if that's supposed to be a side. Also getting pretty grabby with the girlfriend as well. She's been enjoying that, and I certainly won't complain as well. Again, not sure if that's supposed to side. Other than that, feeling pretty good, no negative sides at all so far.
