HIT Squat - Up to 170kg
And finally today was Leg day! My fave, and I opened up with abs and core work and then I did some leg extensions and leg curl to pre-exhaust my legs.
When my legs started to get that wibbly wobbly feeling, I went onto squat.
I have been doing sets of around 12reps for the last 6months, but as mentioned above, im now in my strength/heavy phase of training. So although i am still training for size and development, i am currently doing lower but heavier reps to prep for my pb attemlts in a couple of month. After that ill be back to higher volume work again. For today i started with First warming up on 150kg, then 180kg and finished my 1 rep sets with 200kg. My intention was to do 3 power reps on 200kg but it didn't feel comfortable, so I kept it as a single and moved on to the next part, of 3 HIT reps on 170kg. I was pleased with this set as I wasn't sure if I could do 3 reps under such control, but I felt like I had at least one more left in the tank. Obvs normally I train to failure, but seeming as my left knee didn't feel perfect on previous sets I decided to keep something back.
After this back onto leg extensions and leg curl till exhaustion
