Legs - Mind/muscle
Good Evening gentlemen. Had 1 hell of a workout today. Not that I lifted crazy weight, or put up multiple PR's, but it was emotionally supercharged. It was honestly a workout you probably get once a year. One of those where you feel no pain, where you feel no limits, where no is not an answer. Please try and reflect on a workout where you felt this way so you can get the idea of where I was mentally. I had to dig deep mentally today and got it multiple times, where every rep wasn't pain, it was beyond that, it was love/hate, jealousy/envy, passion, and then my exhale breaths was me releasing all that.
Just phenomenal today. Not sure why I hit this zone today. I did do deadlifts for the first time in about 6-7 years and hit it fuggin hard. Be rest assured todays workout was everything I had, physically/mentally.
Now the emotionally charged workout: I will be detailed, I was so in the zone it was sick.
Deadlifts - No wraps no belt. Sumo style
135 - 10
315 - 5 sets of 5; 20 seconds rest.
PHUCK YEAH! After 3rd set I was already roasted. My back was pumped, losing my grip.
My partner was counting my rest time. Everytime I brought my heart rate down 2 BPM he was like 16, 17, 18 seconds, I was damn already! The first time I ever did these, I was in my early 20's and pretty much turned purple, then white, lightheaded and had to go home. I finished up strong though, it was great to conquer this again. It's been so long!
Centuries!
90x10, 180x20, 270x30, 360x20, 310x40, 270x30, 180x20, 180x10
So, I didn't hit my 40x360. Tendonitis was bothering me, didn't sleeve my knees today. Not too dissapointed though as I still got my reps in, my pump, and actually every set after the deadlifts had me feelin a tad nauseaous.
Wall Squats
Last week pumped out 4 sets of 40 seconds, 20 seconds rest. Well, riding the wave, I said lets do 5 sets of 50 seconds, 10 seconds rest. First 2 sets, cake. Last 3, holy hell my legs were trembling/shaking uncontrollably. We got it done though, last set I almost fell over.
Leg Extensions
110 - 17 reps, 10 reps
70 - 20 reps
My legs were so sensitive at this point. I almost felt like I was chiseling new striations in my legs with every rep.
Seated Calves
200 - 6
200x6, 195x8, 150x6, 145x6, 100x8, 95x8, 50x8, 45x6 - One big drop set, FIRE FIRE FIRE.
Thank you, this workout is DONE.
20 min low intense cardio, 15 min sauna.
Still hooked up my cardio and sauna. NO workout is complete without them.
