LEG PRESS (Horizontal)
WU: 270x10
1. 380 lbs; Nice! Not so much bouncing of the weight this week.
2. 380 lbs; By no means "easy," but it was easier for my legs than last week. Can we take it to 400 for week 12?
HACK SQUAT
WU:
1. 350 lbs; Went at least 90 degrees or lower!
2. 350 lbs; Nice depth. Instead of going heavier next week focus on going deeper to really tax the full leg.
QUAD EXTENSIONS
1. 200 lbs; Very strong set!
2. 200 lbs; Yea buddy! Stay and murder for Week 12.
...hehe...ugh...
SEATED HAMSTRING CURL
WU:
1. 200lbs; I like this exercise but hate it because the pads that stabilize your legs are smashing your already tight quads
2. 200 lbs; First 8 were cake...but then the Hellcentrics came at me with a vengance! Oi!
LAYING HAMSTRING CURL
1. 90 lbs; So tight during first eight reps but partials do seem fuller.
2. 90 lbs; OMG! 100 for Week 12...hrm?
So NOW we stretched our quads by the old fashioned flexed the ham to bring the foot to your glutes and holding with your hand for 20 seconds. Followed by a lunge stretch on a bench for the hams also for 20 seconds. Nice leg day! Very intense and very enjoyable!

Week 11 Session 2 Video
So today Dennis and I were kind of mindles to the video recording. We intended on recording Leg Press but totally spaced it. So during Quad Extension Dennis decided he wanted to forget that we were recording and put his ass right in front of the camera. Sheesh! Taking away from my moment! LOL. So I guess I just "had" to get him back but I was talking to the gym employee and then I spaced that we were recording Seated Hame Curls and walked right into view. Oi! Oh and if anyone is wondering what I'm yelling at the end it's about my weird faces. Yea I tend to make the oddest faces when lifting. Thankfully it wasn't true what your momma said. You're face WILL NOT stay that way! Haha. We had a fun leg day but it was still really intense. Those are the best days in the gym is when you go in and work your ass off but still have a good time!

Diet Challenge
So some of the other teams have been talking about te mental stress of the diet and the true difficulty behind this program. Well I've always been good about eating healthier but on this strict diet "bad" food has soooo much more flavor and therefore I want it! Today at work we are having a potluck. We have then once maybe twice a month. Well this competition is so close to the end that I don't want to indulge in cheat meals if I can help it. So my challenge today is sticking to what I packed for lunch. I really don't doubt that I will accomplish this right now. But when work stresses you out and that smell of food just hits you...sometimes you think just a little bit won't hurt. Well in my case that is how a binge starts. So here I go! Not one bite of this food! Grrr!
Ugh...not looking forward to hearing everyone comment about why I'm eating my healthy food! Haha! Happy Friday!

Maybe I got bigger?
So...I now I've been seeing some body composition changes and whatnot. Well today I am sitting here and work, button up shirt, tie, slacks, te business attire and I notice...my shirt got awfully small. If I move certain ways I feel like my shirt is going to rip. You can't see it but the button closest to my chest is starting to pull. oh and my sleeves are tight too! This shirt used to fit and is one of my nicer ones! LOL. This will be my, "See aren't you proud of yourself!" shirt. I thought it was neat and just wanted to share. Peace!
@Rio: This is closing fast! Last day tomorrow! OMGoodness! Def keep in touch! Would like to keep up with everyone and see if they stick with it and how everyone is doing 3 months or 6 months down the road!
