Legs C 2/14

Today was a gnarly day. Lost one rep on ham curls but did add 10lbs so I'll call it a win. Got a wild hair up my ass and did a ret pause set for quads instead of the programmed 2 sets AAAND I PUKED IN THE PARKING LOT
Added 20lbs to calf raise and matched reps.
If the in body scan is right I've built a pound of muscle in each leg this year already.

Standing calves
190x12

Seated hams
190x9/5/3

Pivot leg press
10pps +20lbs X 12/3/1

That sucks! Ive done it ! ! Usually it’s leg day for most but, I puked doing Biceps ! I didn’t even have enough time to hit the l’eau or the garbage ..just yacked all over ! It sucked but …I actually got some nice female sympathy from the female staff . I thought they’d be pissed or grossed out , smh ! Most of the time though legs are the workouts that do it ! My pops says, “if you’ve never puked , your not training hard enough MOFO! “. Lol. Kick Ass Sammie

Hells Yeah. . Looking great ! Talk about fingers or hand hurting ..I’ve had to use implements for a while ! My hand was broke one too many times , not to mention fingers ! It sucks but my anti- Inflammatory diet and supps have made it tolerable. Took years to get under control . Max

I find that training with nice exact weighted machines help during those times w high reps .

Just go through the circuit style training.(I use the girls section) no shit ! Lol
