March 9th- Legs/ Workout shift

So I finally caved into the musclehead crowd. I figured if I'm carrying all this weight I might as well put it to good use and form muscles. (I hear the chicks dig it. Well, the only chick that really matters anyway likes it)

So I shifted my computerized workout schedule to regular lifting, with a plan to do some cardio on my rest or light days. Today kicked off the new workout with... legs. Yeah, I won't be running any time soon after this. Where I deviated from the plan I notate:

Single Leg Press

10x @ 90 lbs
10@ 70 lbs
9 @ 70
8@ 70

Barbell Squats

10 @ 150
9 @ 190
7 @ 190 (dropped one rep)


Seated Leg Curl (We have a lying leg curl at our gym, so I did the pronated one)

10 @ 62.5
10 @ 75
9 @ 87.5
7 @ 100 (dropped one rep... 100 is where it started to get hard!)

Incline Seated Calf Raise- I took it easy on this one because two years ago I tore a calf muscle on this machine. I couldn't run or even do the elliptical for 2 months while it was healing! It felt like a muscle cramp, only... constant. It sucked, and I don't want to repeat it!

The plan was to do 4 sets of 10 reps, but I stopped when I felt my calf starting to cramp up
10 @ 90
9 @ 140
8@ 140
8 @ 140

Next the Freetrainers.com routine called for hanging leg raises and ab rollers, 2 sets of 10 each, but I didn't have those, so I did

Lying leg raises: 2 sets of 15 reps
Sit ups: 2 sets 15 reps
