Legs: Hamstring Focus 8/18/2026
I am feeling absolutely invincible this week. I am eating slightly above maintenance, and it seems to be fueling my strength to high, maybe even unprecedented levels. Today was leg day, with a relentless focus on hamstrings. Here is the complete, detailed breakdown of the lift:
- Seated leg curls: One warm-up and 2 working sets. Weight was up 5 pounds today... and reps too.
- RDL: 3 warm-ups and 3 working sets. Today was 275 for 3 sets of 6 reps each.
- Leg Press: 2 sets with near failure. Weight was up and rep range was up too.
- Leg extensions: 2 sets of 150 pounds with extra reps too.
- Seated calves: 2 working sets at 225.
- Standing calves: 2 working sets at 340 pounds.
- Adductors: 2 sets with +60 pounds.
- Treadmill for 22 minutes.
Weight was 185.5 pounds. Yesterday I got in a total of 16,270 steps.
