Workout Thoughts:
Another solid leg day. The thing I was most happy about was the squats. Now you might look at these numbers and notice I am actually down a rep on my first two sets. So why am I happy? Because I made sure the I went BELOW parallel on each and every rep today. I always go at least parallel on my squats, but I generally go below parallel for the first few reps, but start just going parallel as the set wears on. Today, I decided that I was going to continue going below parallel all the way through, and made sure that I did so. Even though I was one rep short of last week, my legs felt like they took a much stronger beating. I increased on Leg Extensions, which I was happy about. You also may noticed that I went up on all my calf excercises, but thats because I was still trying to feel it out last week, so these are more accurate numbers.

Green Mag Thoughts:
Another solid leg day. As I said above, I was very happy with my squats. My 275lb rep was really good because I went VERY deep on it. I generally go parallel to slightly below parallel on my heavy reps, but I took it really deep and really pushed to get it up. It felt great to be able to push that one out, just because I did go so low on it. I felt really good on leg extensions and calf felt solid as well. Very satisfied with the workout.
