SLDLs might stall soon too based on grip. did split squats because leg extensions are too noisy in the early morning...really felt these especially in my glutes.

theVeganInitiative Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 2/2/13 Squats: 111 x 8 x 3SLDL: 157.4 x 8 x 3Leg Ext: 108.6 x 12 x 2Calves: 122.2 x 15, 10 Tough workout again. Kept the same weight again on squats and really tried to maintain good form...not going as low to keep my low back from rounding (butt wink?). this issue also causes my weight to shift forward at times. anyway the weight still feels super tough and the 3rd set was very hard....fatigued the rest of the workout. SLDL are getting very heavy as well with my grip starting to limit me there. Leg Ext feel good and so do calves though it's hard to maintain my balance at times on these as well. keepin on...been getting 4 workouts in per week for 3 weeks or so...

BeansNBroccoli Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 all this consistency is really motivating! way to move those squat numbers up! i'm in the same boat, trying to deload my squat to focus on form and technique. all it takes is a little patience and a lot of sweat, right??

Rowing from bottom of RDL position and making sure to keep tight - still felt form break down a bit on heaviest set. everything else was tough and upper body feels worked. squeezing biceps at top of curls. feeling a bit beat up from consistently getting in 4 workouts/week. i'll be deloading and working my way back up in a week or 2.

I think RDLs will be a safer movement as the weights get heavier than the half SLDL/RDL I was doing before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
