Legs May 24, 2025
What an amazing workout. Today was legs with a focus on quads. I had a workout partner which made it even more intense. When there is someokne pushing you to do more it just makes it better and more intense. I loved it. Lets dig into the numbers.
- Hack Squat: 3 sets to failure. This was super intense. I didn't record it but I think the last set was a drop set ... but this was a great start.
- Leg Press: 2 sets, with a drop for the 2nd set. Again to failure.
- Let extensions: 2 sets to failure+ with a lot of holding and lwo reps .. really finished the quads.
- Seated leg curls: 2 sets to failure+. I did make the last set a drop set.
- Lying leg curls: 2 sets to failure+ with a focus on the squeeze.
- Giant set: Cable crunch, LP Calves and adductors. 3 sets.
- No post lift cardio .. just walking today.
As I already wrote, I had a training partner for this workout and The intensity and pump was just off the charts. We will see how recovery goes.
My food intake yesterday:
- Pre-workout: I had ~180g full-fat yogurt with 30g of blueberries. I added a second serving of yogurt post workout.
- Meal 1 was 19g of bison liver, 23g of oysters, a can of sardines, 225g of ground beef (100g) / bison (125g) mix, a 17g slice of extra sharp cheddar cheese and 4 eggs.
- Meal 2 was 225g of ground beef (100g) / bison (125g) mix, a 17g slice of extra sharp cheddar cheese and 4 eggs (one was a duck egg).
- Meal 3 was a 200g beef sirloin steak, 18g of butter (grass finished), 3 eggs and a 180g of yogurt.
These macros were generated using from Grok (AI tool). I think they are wrong. Tomorrow I'll use a traditional tool to be more accureate. The key thing for me is to eat a little less food so I had less eggs and groud beef / bison than I have been consuming.
- Total calories: 2602
- Protein: 258.9
- Fat: 157.1
- Carbs: 38.2
My weight this morning was 183.1 pounds. Steps yesterday: 16.759.
I will make more diet changes today as I try to find a good balnacne between intake and weight loss. I am also trying to lower my protein to around 200 to 225g / day and same for fat. That balance is not easy on my carnivore food choices.
