A1-Quads and Calves (2)

Yesterday's leg workout was great.

Worked at a good pace and felt that each set was a quality set. Felt focused and strong and really trying to lift a little heavier and get in more reps. workout to workout. As per your advice, I'm giving myself a full two minutes rest between sets for larger body parts...

Lifts/Sets of Note:

Increased weight with each working set of front squats...finishing with 215 lbs. for 8 reps. Looking to get more next time.

Last time, I ended with 55 lb. dumbbells with each hand for the split squat. This time around, I started with them and finished at 60 lbs. for 12 reps.

So far, so good. I've been beating past workouts numbers. Not thinking about hitting a wall as that's what has held me back from going for it in the past. If it happens, so be it. I'll bounce back.

2nd day back on the diet. Feeling like I have enough energy not more to spare. Gotta get a nice consistent string of weeks going.
