Day 5–Legs & Back + ARX

Yesterday I was a bit out of sorts and really really sore and tired, however I still went to the GYM. I did not workout as hard as I originally wanted to, but hey I still worked out all the same.

I used machines for my legs and I just used the pull up bar for my back workouts, so my back exercises stayed the same, the only thing that really changed was all the leg exercises.

I used the Leg Press machine with 215lbs, also instead of just leg pressing, also used it for my calfs, my back was sore and I did not want to add over 200lbs of weight to be held by my back as well, since with the leg press your sitting down and your back is flat on a back rest, I figured this was the best idea.

I also used the leg extensions with 125lbs and also used Lying Leg Curls with 90lbs.

Between these 3 machines I exercised my legs. They were already pretty sore but it felt good to push them a bit more.

While doing pull ups, I went down in reps a bit, anywhere between 8 to 10 reps instead of 12 to 15, however I kept the slow up and down and making sure it was all the way, I also did my best to hang in place.

Ab Ripper X, I did not want to do anything different even though I was exhausted, so I grabbed the 25lb plate and went for it, oh man as usual, it felt so good Smile.

I will be taking the day off today and tomorrow I will do Yoga and then start the week all over again.

Thank you for your time:

Mike
