Pm cardio 30 mins

Finally back in the gym after a 10-day break. Felt ready and strong to hit some weights.

Elbow tendonitis still really bothering me even after the break from gym. Just tells me I can't hit PR's on biceps for awhile.

Felt really strong on back though!

Cardio: Am 45 and Pm 30

Leg Day. Did cardio and felt sick to my stomach afterwards though. Not sure if that is from legs or if I'm coming down with something.

Did squats on the free motion machine and realized that I can actually go one notch deeper so we set the machine to the lowest part. Oooo, now that was very challenging. Wished I did this from day 1. Wasn't able to set a PR, but next time I will!

I had leg press on my agenda after squats, but it was being occupied so we decided to do extensions instead. That was a nice change.

100/7
115/6
130/5

Hammies-

85/6 (Last time 80/7)

Seated Leg Curls: (2 sets/ 6 reps)
