Legs to Legs

Last Sunday we trained Legs, but I wasn't too good to myself the night before. It was our neighbors birthday celebration at a place in Boston and I drank a little too much and unfortunately, I ate to little too and that's the worse combination. Up at 9 still not feeling good, had coffee and 3 potatoes to help soak up the booze and just before training at 11:30 I had a Carbo Force with 2 scoops of protein and told the guys to lead, I'm just going through the motions today

Big Bobby is still banging out legs with us, so the 4 of us started with leg presses. Alex mentions something about standing on the apparatus, so I jumped up on the machine when he was doing his last set. This machine was already at it's limit with only 11 plates each side, Alex ripped it apart like it was nothing, hitting high double digit reps!

Of course, I had to have Alex jump on the machine now for me, which I ripped apart. You see my thinking here is, lets give it all I can, while I can, so I can get as much out of this workout as I can, because my head is spinning and I feel like I have to "let go" in both outlets.

Next was the Hack machine, then weighted Sissy Squat and when we hit Stiff legged bent over row, I couldnt' even do 2 reps, my head spun so fast being bent over. I jumped back in on extensions and curls and calves and made it to the end.

The moral of this story, just because you don't normally drink, doesn't mean when you do drink, you can drink A LOT!

This week we had to change it up a little. Tuesday started Chest and Triceps and we started to add a high volume rep, I'm talking triple digits at the end of some exercise (when it came to mind), for instances, the last set on behind the head French curls, we took just the bar and did as many reps as we could, not telling each other how many reps we got until we were all down. This little challenge caused us to "set the bar high" no matter if you are first or last, you just wanted to keep going rep after rep, to blow the number out the door. What an insane pump you get too!

Wednesday we trained Back and Traps and started with Calves, then leg curls, then Shrugs, then Dead lifts, then Bent over rows. We always forget how hard it is to do bent over rows after you have just trashed your Calves, Hams and have just Dead lifted, until you do your first rep and realize you can't hold yourself up in a bent over position. By the way Big John pulled 6 plates aside on Dead Lifts, that is 585 pounds, nice pull Animal!
