Monday
It might be xmas chaos outside (queues outside the big shop etc) and supposed to be cold but I was dripping sweat in the gym. Also spotted a buddy - crazy weights. Try 145kg a side on the low iso bench press (over 600lbs total). Then spotted him again on Smith Machine Press with 190kg/418lbs loaded. Even gave him a slap (back of the head)
Hatfield Squats
w/up, 100kg/220lbs x 8 reps, 200kg/440lbs x (support belt on) 6 reps (might have been 8) and then 320kg/704lbs (lifting belt n wraps on) x 4 reps - sat on the bench on the last rep. Had I been training with a buddy I'd have not sat in the hole but done 6-8 reps instead.
Leg Press
200kg x 8 reps, 420kg x 8 reps, 650kg/1430lbs x 8 reps
Lying Leg Curls
8p x 8 reps, 17p x 6 reps (felt good - sweating on the floor lol)
s/s
Leg Extensions
stack (90kg/198lbs) x 8 reps, stack x 6 reps per leg
