Last night I did a heavy leg day with my trainer Jason. I hit a personal best on front squats and did lunges a new way.
Front Squat - 135/1, 135/1, 155/1, 155/1, 165/1, 165/1, 165/1, 175(PB)/1, 175/1
My form was quite good even when I hit my personal best. I might try 185 next time.
Speed Deadlift - 135/1, 8*185/1
These lighter deadlifts are to work on burst strength.
BB Reverse Lunge, Front Squat Grip - 95/6(per leg)/ 95/6, 95/6
These really kicked my butt as well are all of my core. You hold the BB as if you are about to do front squats and then do reverse lunges. It is harder than it sounds.
Ab Biking - 2*20
Happy Hump Day!Joel

BB Close-Grip Incline Press - 95/4, 115/3, 135/1, 145/1, 155/1, 155/1, 155/1, 165/1, 165/1
Next time I'll start heavier.
Superset:
- HS Decline Press - 40s/8, 50s/8, 50s/8
- Pronated-Grip T-Bar Row - 70/8, 70/8, 70/8
The first exercise was supposed to be Decline Close-Grip presses but my gym does not have a decline bench. So the Hammer Strength machine was the closest equivalent.
Superset:
- Scapular Wall Slide - 12, 12, 12
- DB Hammer Curl - 20s/12, 20s/12, 20s/12
This weekend we are going to Stratford to see their production of Kiss Me Kate.Joel

April 27 - Leg Day!
I missed two workouts as we travelled to Ottawa last week to visit my daughter. But I made up for that by doing a nasty leg day with my trainer last night. And we threw in some Abs just to spread the sore around.
Box Squat - 135/2, 135/2, 155/2, 155/2, 175/2, 225/2, 225/2, 225/2, 245/2, 255/2
The last time I tested my Box Squat mas I only got 1 rep at 255. Now I got in 2 and could have done 2 more. So my max has probably gone up by 20 pounds or so. I'll test that in a few weeks.
Glute-Ham Raise 5, 5, 5
These really fire up the hams. My trainer is going to get some of his other clients to try them. Nothing like spreading the pain.
DB Walking Lunge - 30s/5, 30s/5, 30s/5
Superset:
- Box Pistols 8, 8
- Incline Crunch - 12, 12
HS Crunch - 50/12
Knee Raises - 12
Today is my son's self-referential birthday. Its is the 28th and he turns 28. Happy Birthday Charles.Joel

It was a busy weekend. Saturday morning I had a four hour rehearsal for our concert Sunday. Saturday night we went out to see a show - This is What Happens Next. It was a one man show written and performed by Daniel MacIvor and directed by Daniel Brooks. Then Sunday morning I did a leg workout. Finally, Sunday afternoon I sang in a two hour concert of Mozart masses - The Coronation Mass and the Mass in C Minor.
Here is the workout because I can't post the concert
