So today was Leg Day - Brutal.
1. Leg press: 4 sets around 250kg for 10 reps, but slow tempo 3010 and deep stretch.
2. Seated Hamstring Curls, four sets, 10 reps each, slow 3110 at 80Kgs
2. DB RDLs: 4 sets of 10 at 38Kg dumbells, slow eccentric
3. Narrow stance hack squats, slow again, four sets at 10 reps each. Was around 140Kgs
4. Walking lunges with occlusion ( bands around thighs to "trap" blood ) in the quads
5. Cable pull-throughs, four sets, slow tempo at 40, focusing on getting a good stretch.
I have around 2 minutes of rest (max) between sets.
Keeping in mind that I have developed sciatica for no fucking reason! So, I am still a bit sensitive to any hinge movements. But today was better. I guess I'm getting old.
Today's RPE was around 8.5, but overall, it was a good session. It focused on the mind-muscle connection and ensuring my form was on point. These aren't crazy weights, I know, but I find that leaving my ego at the door and doing them correctly is just as effective.
Diet
That is on point, although I'm always hungrier during the day after my legs.
Hydration could've been better today, but sometimes, at work, it's wild
Ah, here are some pics
