Killed Leg Day!

I had an awesome workout with Kyle last night, just what I needed to get me out of my funk.  

We killed my legs and threw in push ups, my pec was a bit sore but overall felt good, that made me happy :)  

It was nice to show Kyle how strong I've gotten, went up in weight on squats, deadlifts and seated curls.  Next time I will be able to increase the weight on everything else I think.

Kyle pushed me as he always does, making sure I really got LOW on my squats, pushed through on my deadlifts, lunged far enough on my lunges, and yelled at me through the leg extensions at the end.  The gym is a time where I like being yelled at, I hope he takes the time to really enjoy those moments, tell me to PUSH IT and finish off those reps! :)

Squats
20 - 45 lbs
6 - 115 lbs

Deadlifts
20 - 65 lbs
6 - 105 lbs
6 - 105 lbs
6 - 105 lbs
12 - 95 lbs

(Superset with three angle calf raises)

Three Angle Calf Raises
30 - 180 lbs
24 - 225 lbs

30 - 180 lbs

Barbell Lunges
24 - 20 lbs
12 - 30 lbs
12 - 30 lbs
12 - 30 lbs

(Superset with seated calf raises)

Seated Calf Raises
12 - 90 lbs
6 - 135 lbs
6 - 135 lbs
6 - 135 lbs
12 - 90 lbs

Leg Extensions - Drop Sets (2 sets)
10 - 85 lbs
10 - 70 lbs
10 - 55 lbs
10 - 40 lbs
10 - 25 lbs
10 - 15 lbs

Now doing these extensions at the end really kills me, I feel a burn DEEP in my quads, like someone is stabbing a searing hot iron rod into them.  Sounds awful, right?  It's not, it is actually a good burn ;)  My quads are very strong, takes a lot to kill them.  On these drop sets you do the first weight, drop it down, next weight, drop it down, etc with no rest between.  This was when I needed Kyle to yell at me, no better feeling than finishing that last set at 15 pounds which is KILLER even at such a light weight, stepping off the machine and shaking out my legs knowing I killed it :)

Seated Leg Curls - Drop Sets (2 sets)
10 - 55 lbs
10 - 45 lbs
10 - 25 lbs
15 - 25 lbs

My hamstrings are not as strong as my quads, always been that way.  I will increase my weight on the curls next time around, they are getting stronger that's for sure.

Then we did push ups together to finish off the workout.  I only did 30, the competitive girl came out in me, sometimes I think Kyle knows that happens and that is why he has us do them together ;)  My right pec was feeling weak, I think Kyle did 50 push ups, I had to do mine slower dang it.  I'll get him next time ;)
