Legs 5/8/2025
I managed to destroy my quads today. It was a quad focused leg day and walking is now an issue .. at least for a couple hours. How did I do this? Here it is:
- Smith machine squats: 3 sets to near failure. I may have been able to squees out a partial, but I stopped where I felt safe.
- Leg press: 2 sets to failure and some partials on the 2nd set. This finisehd me off but I paused and moved on.
- Unilateral extensions: 1 set to failure+.
- Bilateral extensions, myoreps for 7 sets, 30 seconds rest betwen sets. I added slow negitives, squeezing, etc. Wow.
- Seated leg curls: 2 sets to failure+.
- Laying leg curls: 2 sets to failure+.
- Giant set: Cable crunch, LP Calves and adductors. 3 sets.
My quads are toast ... it's going to take a few hours of easy walking to recover ..
