May, 25 - Lower Body

Started out a little unmotivated... We had just returned from a 7 hour car ride from Columbus, OH, and I wasn't exactly in the mood to do anything but crash for the night. But, I told myself I was going to do this stuff 4 days a week, and, if there was one day I wasn't going to skip, it was going to be the legs day.

Squat (reaaaaaally slow warm-up)
95x10
95x10
135x10
135x8
175x8 (At this point I realized that Jim was going to Ireland in a couple days, and I thought it would be nice to have a new marker for him on the squats. Last time it was 245lbs.)
205x2
225x1
245x1
265x1 (Jim ended here after a failed attempt at 275 and then 270. +20lbs!)
275x1
285x1
290 Fail, so I upped my last max by 20 lbs as well. Sweet deal!

Straight Leg Deadlift
135x8x3

Single Leg DB Bulgarian Split Squat
50x10x3

Leg Curl
35x10x3

Then, since I need to do more cardio, I rode the stationary for 20 minutes before stretching it out. I'm going to set a goal to get at least 20 minutes each day for the next few weeks.
