SE/RE Squat

Lunchtime:
LifeFitness Elliptical, Level 11 Hill (Kilimanjaro): 30 minutes.

Evening:
Hoist Leg Press w/2-second pause: 300x6, 350x6, 400x6, 450x6, 500x6, 550x6. After reading this from Marc Bartley's article on deadlifting, I wanted to give this a try and spare my shoulders for a bit. These are hard and they burn - - - I've done nearly 700 lbs for the same reps without a pause. I think I might do these on heavy day, too, but for a 3RM.

Nautilus Nitro Abduction: 95x10, 105x10, 115x10
Nautilus Nitro Adduction: 85x10, 95x10, 105x6

Superset:
Pushups: Failure at 42, 30, 20, 12, 12, 12, 12, 12, 8, 0 (160 reps).
Situps: Failure at 33, 18, 13, 13, 10, 11, 10, 10, 10, 10 (138 reps).

First 4 sets were done using reverse pyramids (thus the higher numbers). Example, the first set: 1 rep, pause 1 second, 2 reps, pause one second, 3 reps, pause one second, 4 reps, pause one second, 5 reps, pause one second, 6 reps, pause one second, 6 reps, pause one second, 5 reps, pause one second, 4 reps, pause one second, 3 reps, pause one second, 2 reps, pause one second, 1 rep. The pauses are held at the top of the pushup position. This would be a pyramid of 6; my goal is a pyramid of 7, or 56 pushups. I could do more pushups like this but it takes more out of me. On my last set, I couldn't do a pushup on my knees, either.

Volume is up, so that's great.
