Legs
Low volume and light
Similiar to my lighter routine last week. As mentioned the leg presses for 150 reps are WAY more painful and intense then sets with 1200 or higher (havent gone that heavy in a while for joints). The burning is so intense to the point that my calves burn like hell, my knee joints, quads, glutes , hamstrings and at the peak, the soles of my feet burn like a mother fucker, and the set isnt close to done.
I want to try hitting legs super high rep because low rep isnt an option for me anymore with legs. Id have to go extremely heavy to get under 20 reps with anything on legs. Very harsh on the tendons.
Just want to focus on pain and growth and keep the tendons alive for a while
Alot more weight and reps on leg extentions today. Could have done the stack for high reps but being very careful with knees. These are still somewhat painful on the joints. I stopped when knee joint pain exceeded muscle pain. Starting with seated leg curl may have warmed the knees or legs up better prior to the extentions. Maybe thats something to try for a while now.
Instead of trashing my 32 oz powerade bottle after finishing my aminos during training, I was filling it with water and drinking it pretty consistantly between sets. Not something I really ever do but hydration couldnt hurt. Soon I want to fill a 64 oz bottle with water and put those modern bcaas in it, for home use. They run through my stomach so I cant use that brand during training. I can drink it after training or on off days though. So Ill get it down. Want to see if hydration will help joints or anything else , maybe even size during my growth phase. Rarely drink liquids aside from 21 to 42 oz milk daily and little else.
