I look like a douche bag every leg day IMO. Squats are my weak point but today it was just awful.
So I won't be able to get into the gym next to days to finish my split because of work so my choices were legs, shoulders, arms or a combination of two of them. Well, I chose my weakest as I believe I should so i went legs and because those other parts get some secondary action during back and chest days. Mind you, I never do legs after a back day but ill do back after a leg day no problem. So yesterday I had a brutal back day, it was great. I've been sore all day but since I got called in my weeks cut short and I'm doin legs cus I don't want to skip them. Warm up with 135, felt good no problem .. First set 225lbx10 felt good.. Second set 275lbs going down down down oh **** I can't get up , luckily I set the safety bars. So now I got people lookin cus the biggest guy there at the moment just crumpled under a lousy 275lbs. Reset the bar kinda pissed and go again, down, up, that wasnt hard, down down down ****! I can't get it up. My body decided to send my ego a fuk you notice via public embarrassment. I looked like ****, and to top it off ,out of my fluster of frustration I made myself look like a bigger ass by taking the weight down till 225lb(still resting on the safety bars) thinking ill just go under and squat it up back on the hooks. Nope I ended up grunting lookin stupid for a second cus I couldn't even do that either (done it before easy). So I pulled 2 45s off and lifted the rest into position and then knocked out another short set of 225 to try and redeem myself alil self pride( like a bandaid on a gun shot wound ). One exercise a week tends to really screw me over and this week it was the squat rack and it got me hard. Totally shot the rest of my workout. The only two other exercises I actually went up in weight were kneeling leg curls and seated calf raises. I did smith hack squats to try and make up for my failure in some way but that was blah and then the sled wanted to be a bitch to me as well as I could barely press 90lbs less then I usually do (16 plates x 6-8 full ROM as deep as it'll go).. So anyway I looked like a big fat puss doing legs today and felt like a douche. 8) no more leg days right after back days for me.
