2.) Leg Press, Tempo: 41X0, Rest: Whatever's needed

This leg press was extremely different than any one I had used before. It seemed like it accomodated for the strength curve very well though I had to use a lot less weight than on traditional leg presses.

I got a flat tire on the way to the gym today. Instead of my normal leg routine I decided to use my frustration and max on deadlifts. I got 405 on a straight bar with a traditional grip which was a decent PR. I haven't gone heavy with a traditional grip in years so it felt real good to get 405.

The 180 felt very heavy at first but after a couple sets it actually got lighter. I was very pleased I got three reps on all ten sets.

I was sick all week so I wasn't able to train. Additionally once I recovered, it was my best friend's birthday, my other good friend's last night in town before leaving for school and I had just found out I passed my boards for massage therapy... so I had some celebrating to do.

Even after all that my work outs still progressed pretty well.

I decided not to superset reverse hypers with my deadlifts just because I have too much fun going really heavy on deadlifts.

After the 4th set I felt like throwing up so I decided to stop the workout. It didn't help that I was working out with all my high school athletes making the weight room smell like tulips.

I didn't make any improvement on my pull ups (most likely from being sick all last week) but my push presses went extremely well.
