Workout #2

Legs
20 min bike ride good intensity legs swole from this

Leg extensions
Whole stack for multiple reps 3 sets of 12ish about 280 lbs I think

Leg press 4 plates a side x30
5 plates a side x20
6 plates a side x 10 ( all of these sets were prs!!!)
My legs were seriously feeling good today!
Squat
315x5x5x5 ( nothing noteworthy but felt nice and deep squats)

I did some weird other leg press too for the whole stack 500 ish pounds but to be honest the way it was set up it was easy.

I worked out with the new girl I've been seeing I think she was a little blown away by the leg press's I pushed her hard also her legs are def going to hurt

We did a ton of abs too
