Friday night legs

Friday ended up being a great workout, and I know that to be true, because I am still feeling the effects from it.  My hamstrings are just pissed at me right now.  I started with the standard Squat, but Steve had not arrived yet, so I ended up starting on my own.  Another guy came over, and asked if he could work in with me, so we worked through our first few sets relatively quickly, all the way to 335.  What I wasn't prepared for was working back to 225 and reppin out.  It was amazing how deep I could get on my squats at 225.  I think that ultimately burnt my legs.
Next I jumped to Bulgarian split squats on the ground squat machine.  It was such a great burn, and my quads, glutes, and hammies were on fire.  Finally we moved to straight leg dead lifts, which did my legs in good for the night (and the weekend).  I have to say it was a great leg workout, and I am ready to try 365 on squats.

Saturday Hos and I met at the Y around noon to do our shoulder workout.  We started with clean and press, and both of us ended @ 155.  I think that from 135, we are going to start doing 5lb increments, instead of 20.  Progress has been a little slower on clean and press, and I believe it is because of the lack of reps at the higher end our of sets.
We then moved to upright rows.  I finished my sets @ 125. Next i moved to Military press. This went really well for me.  I started @ 45, and finished @ 60's.
Finally we finished with shrugs on the ground squat machine, and finished @ 5 plates on each side.  Shoulder workout really well, and I am happy with last weeks workout.  This next week will be a lot more intense.
