Verse of the day: Those who trust in the LORD are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. Psalm 125:1
So, I went "light" on squats today. Last night I told my wife that I was going to keep the weight light on squats today, and she said, "It's good to take it easy sometimes.".... Who said anything about taking it easy?!! I said: "Keep the weight light." To me this implies that I will do something out of the ordinary to make it harder, more grueling, so painful that I cannot use as much weight.
So, today I did sets of 25 reps for squats and used a narrow stance with the toes straight on, hands up on the plates and no knee wraps. My tempo was very fast: do a set, light stretch, add weight and go. By the time I was finished with the squats my legs were shaking and trying to lock out on me. Here's the whole thing:
squat: 45-25; 95-25; 135-25; 225-25
leg press: 450-10; 630-10; 810-7
leg curl: 80-25; 110-20; 140-5
smith machine calf raise: 160-20; 300-20
machine calf raise: 400-15
