Legs: Quad Focus 7/17/2026

Today's lower body session was primarily dedicated to quadriceps development. The training was highly effective, resulting in an excellent muscle pump and overall positive feedback. Below is a detailed breakdown of the workout:

  • Smith machine squats: 1 warmup and 3 working sets in the 6 to 8 rep range. Weight was up.
  • Hack squat: 3 sets with a little more weight but 7 to 8 rep range. Weight was up here too.
  • Leg extensions: 2 sets at 135 pounds for 8 to 9 reps.
  • Lying leg curls: 2 sets in the 8 to 9 rep range. Solid for hams.
  • Seated calves: 2 sets of 12 reps at 300 pounds. .
  • Standing calves: 2 sets at 280 pounds for 16 reps.
  • Adductors: 2 sets with 50 pounds above the full stack for 16 reps each.
  • Treadmill for 20 minutes.

My weight today was 185 with 16.5 lbs of fat. Step count yesterday was 16,316.
