Legs: Hamstring Focus 9/15/2026

Today's leg workout was absolutely incredible, by which I mean my hamstrings are currently staging a full-blown rebellion. If you need me for the next few days, I'll be the one walking like a newborn giraffe. Here is the complete, grueling breakdown of the lifts:

  • Seated leg curls: One warm-up and 2 working sets. The reps were up on the first set and the weight up for the second. I took the second to failure.
  • RDL: 3 warm-ups and 3 working sets. Today was 295 for 3 sets.
  • Leg Press: 2 sets with near failure. Weight was up.
  • Leg extensions: 2 sets with failure on the second. This felt so good. Weight was up today.
  • Seated calves: 2 working sets at 230. Went to failure on set 2.
  • Standing calves: 2 working sets at 385 pounds. I reached failure on set 2.
  • Adductors: 2 sets with +75 pounds.
  • Treadmill for 22 minutes.

Weight was 187.0 with 16.8 pounds of fat. Yesterday I got in a total of 16,865 steps.
