I had Liam's holiday concert at 6:30 last night, so I had to hurry out of work at 3:30, to get home, change into my gym clothes, and rush off to the gym to get a leg workout in before heading to the show. I beat Steve there, and so I jumped on doing jump squats right away. I did 1 set @ 135, 2 @ 155, and finished @ 175. I know i'm barely getting off the ground @ 175, but it is still benefiting me greatly.
Next I moved on to straight leg dead lifts. I can do a lot more weight than I thought with my hamstrings, so I can really push it the next leg workout. I finished @ 185, but could have probably done 3 or 4 reps @ 225. I will definitely try next time. Steve got there in time to start doing squats. By now, I am a little fatigued going into this exercise, but I'm ok. I started @ 225, and finished @ 315 for 5 reps. I know last week I went to 335, and I should have done one more set, but I started running short on time, and I wanted to get deadlifts in.
Deadlifts went well. We used straps once we got to 225, and it made a huge difference. I was able to do 8 reps @ 225, and 6 reps @ 245, so really, it is time to start pushing the weight higher on deadlifts.
