Holy shit. Calves only stopped hurting yesterday. So naturally we did legs today
Bit of light rolling out and stretching. Then some KB goblet squat holds (32kg KB) to sit in the squat for a bit and get my upper back firing.
Into front squats - with a bit of extra work to loosen up front rack position. Have let this type of flexibility and mobility slide, but once I've got a bit of weight on the bar you can really drive your elbows up hard. Painful, and will be for a while yet. But worth it!
Sets of 5 at 60kg, 60kg, 70kg, 80kg, 90kg. Then 2 sets of 3 at 100kg.
3 rounds of supersetting single leg extensions (seated machine) and one legged hammie curls (machine also). Sets of 12 each leg. Bumped the weight up each set for that extra burn.
Then back to the superset for calve raises. 2 rounds of 8-10 reps - standard position, toe outward, then toes inward to finish. Nice pump but no immediate soreness... hopefully things will settle in a day or two this time, not a bloody week!
Awesome to have legs back in the mix. Still dreaming of back squats, but happy with fronts for the moment. I was thinking about overheads during our front squat warm up - need a bit more push pressing before anything heavy is on the cards, but keen to add that back in to. So many wants, so little time!
