ULTIMATE LEG DAY ACTION

I made the foolish mistake of consuming a fairly large amount of liquor last night. I felt dizzy and nauseated (not hungover just "off") about an hour before I went lifting. It was going to be a bad day.


OR WAS IT!??!?!?!

Deadlift
205 x 8
205 x 8
295 x 5
385 x 3
405 x 2
425 x 2
435 x 2
445 x 2
455 x 2
475 x 1!!
Not only that, but I could have gotten 485 for sure. However I had already gone completely nuts on deadlifts (it wasn't even supposed to be a max day) so it was time to squat.

225 x 5
245 x 3

I didn't do front squats because...well, I don't think I would have been able to after all that. But rest assured it was astounding.

only 20 pounds away...


Whoops I never posted shoulder day. I'll get around to it.

115 x 5
145 was pretty tough and I'm at the limit of how many plates I can stick on there without it falling apart (until I bump it up to 165 for three 25s per side) so I'm going to keep it at that for a while, increasing the reps of course.

165 x 3
175 x 3

Clearly I've been losing fat, because lately my forearm veins have been visibly sticking out compared to before when they were like light blue lines drawn on my arm. w00t

LOL, I've been away for quite a while - sick, vacation, work, etc. Looks like you are still moving along.

I've had days like above where I go in and feel like hell... and then I end up doing PRs and feeling like I could have done more. It makes no sense.

What % of your body weight are you up to now for DL? I can't wait to get 200% DL myself.
