Hmm well, you guys were right I def wasnt going low enough on the squats. I was very strict with form today, altho lighter than I expected, so that sucks. Something to work back up to I guess. Next week should be a lot better Im hoping as I feel exhausted today. After my third set of lunges my legs basically gave out and I had to sit on the floor for a couple minutes. Also, it was my first time doing static lunges in about 3 yrs so that was interesting..a little more lactic acid on them..I think I like walking lunges better, but will probably go with a 2/1 split for variety. Hammy curls were lighter this week with a bit more reps...did the first set heavy but it didnt feel very good on my legs so I toned it down a bit. Also, first time doing the calf raises. They were pretty good, intense burn obv. Only thing I dont like is its harder to go with inner/outer stance than on a machine so I just did straightforward stance. I really wanna get some SLDL's in but Im just not in good enough shape yet to do another heavy lift after squats and lunges. Soon I hope.
Next week's leg goals: 10x225 squats
Tomorrows workout: Im taking tmrw off..I just feel really lethargic right now and Im pretty sure Im overtraining. Ive only taken probably 2 - 3 days off in the last 6 weeks that I wasnt either drinking or hungover (which obv arent the best rest days), and I think its catching up to me. So, tmrw off..thurs chest, fri off, sat is a wedding so drinking/off, sun hungover/off and Monday I should be nice and fresh to start the week off with back and hopefully a strong DL showing.
