Leg day

As you may have realized from reading this blog leg day is my favorite day of the week. The reason I love doing legs is because it is hard and most people don't like them, also I can lift real heavy so that always makes me feel good. Since today was the senior trip I had almost no friends at school and the few I did have had a lacrosse game to play like a bunch of buttfaces so I was alone for the last part of the day. During seventh period I went to the trainers room, laid down, ate my third meal of the day, grilled chicken breast and a banana with 32 oz. of water, and just relaxed. After that I met up with my buddy Norm and asked him if he could open the weight room early for me and being the awesome guy he is he obliged. I got in there around 3:10 EST and hopped on the elliptical for I think 27 minutes or so, all I know was I stopped once I had burned 250 calories. After I finished up I started loading the bar up for squats, my all time favorite lift. I decided to forgo my typical 4x8 workout and do a 5x5 while going really heavy. After my first three warmup sets I started off with 385, child's play I know, and banged that out. After that set I decided to see how heavy I could go. So after my next three sets at 405, 420, and 435 respectively I loaded 455 on the bar to set a new personal record. The most I have ever squatted previously was 455 once in March I think so this was a bit of a jump but if you don't push yourself how will you ever realize how good you can be. I stepped under the bar gave a loud yell and proceeded to lift the shit out of that weight. Once I re-racked the weight I felt pretty awesome because that is pretty heavy, not bad for a 17 year old. Once I finished squats you know what it was time for? MORE SQUATS! I stripped off the 25's and two plates to make the bar 225 and the did another 5x5 set of front squats ending with 275 on the bar. So now you are thinking wow this kid is pretty hardcore I wish he was my son, and that is understandable because lets face it, I go quite hard. After this heavy duty squat session I must be done with legs right? Are you kidding me why would I ever stop? Now it's time for lying hamstring curls where I do 3 maybe 4 sets? I don't really remember but I do know they all had 12 reps so that's something. "Alright this kid has done 13 or is it 14 sets of heavy legs surely he doesn't have anything left in the tank to keep going". Have you ever met me? I literally do as little physical activity as possible during the day so I can be fresh for my lifts, of course I'm not done. It's time to do quad extensions. Hop on, load it up, rep it out, rest, repeat. Four more sets of 12  and I'm done with that. "Dear lord he has done four exercises  and either 144 or 132 repetitions is he a Saiyan?"  I wish. Saiyans are the ultimate warriors in the galaxy, it would be an honor to be a Saiyan. Next up it is seated hammy curls. As I did previously I hopped on, loaded it up, repped it out, rested, and repeated. This time I stopped at 3 sets because I was getting cramps and decided that it was time to say enough's enough and stop. "Finally kid's an animal." Now it's time for biceps. I'm not going to go into full X rated graphic detail but just know it was long, hard, sweaty, and I finished exhausted with an amazing pump.

I started the day thinking because I got in there so early I would be able to leave early and go watch the lax game even though I hate lacrosse. I started working out at 3:10 you know what time I finished? 5 effing 45. I was pissed. I started lifting about 45 minutes before usual and ended about 10 minutes before I normally do. Can someone please tell me how the hell that works? I did five more sets than normal and seven more minutes of cardio and somehow that took 35 minutes. I must have ripped a hole in the space time continuum and transported myself into the future, that is the only logical reason as to how it happened. Anyhow I'm already starting to feel a little sore so tomorrow is most likely going to suck satans nipples, so I have that to look forward to.
