ME Squat/DL

Yesterday evening I did all the dynamic stretching stuff minus a lot of the running. Three games of basketball left me feeling beat up.

Lunchtime today: LifeFitness Treadmill: 5-min warmup, then 2 sets of 90 seconds running/90 seconds walking followed by 2 sets of 3 minutes running/3minutes walking. Running was done at 7.0 MPH, walking at 3.8 MPH. Mentally, I was trying to talk myself out of doing it but I failed. Good thing, because it was a good end to week 3 of this program.

Evening:
Hoist Leg Press: 350x5, 415x5, 475x5, 535x5, 595x5, 610x5, 665x5x3. Did sets of 5 vice 3 and my legs were toasty. A portent of things to come next week?

Cybex Leg Curls: 130x5x5.

Romanian Deadlifts: 135x3, 155x3, 175x3, 195x3, 225x2x3. Cut it short on time, so I went heavier.

Situps w/25 lbs plate: 5 sets of 12

Flex Standing Calf Raise: 70x15x3

I'm sure the RDLs after leg presses and curls were fun. Now that's one way to warm up the hams :)

Right now, my ass and hams are sore. Not so much from the leg presses first (my feet are a little lower and closer so as to engage my quads more), but because of the preexhausting effect of the leg curls. In this way, I have to use my hips more and contract my backside a lot harder just to lock out the RDLs.
