Front squats i didnt go very heavy with because it has been forever since i've done them and just wanted to control the barbell more than anything. My quads could of handled alot more weight. Still felt great. Favorite exercise of the day was the stiff leg deads with dbs. I really missed those. Went really slow and felt a deep stretch.

I drank my casein shake by mistake post-workout. Pisses me the hell off because now I have to have my iso later which means i'll be starving 45 minutes after drinking it. I only started using casein like a month ago and it is a saviour as an afternoon meal with some almonds. I usually take it between my solid food meals. 1 scoop keeps me full for a while even when compared to solid foods. I even mix some with my cottage cheese and p&b before bed and it sticks to my stomach like nothing else. Love it!!

Leg Press - 3 sets - 810
Leg Curl - 4 sets - 140
Leg Press Calf Raises - 5 sets - 540
Invigorating. Absolutely loved it. I can tell that I am stronger than I was when i was using this program back in Nov-Jan. I find that the routines you gave me, plus the fact that i was getting stronger in my 8-12 rep range really helped me with not only my form when performing heavier lifts but also made me a lot stronger in the lower reps as well.

HIIT and Abs
Cardio
5 minute warmup, 15 intervals, 10 minute cool down on stairmaster
Abs (mostly lower ab focus)
Reverse Crunches - BW x 20, BW x 20, BW x 20
Leg Raises - BW x 18, BW x 14, BW x 14
Cable Crunches - 150 x 15, stack x 10, stack + 10lbs x 10
HIIT on the stairmaster = death in more than one way. Heart rate way up and lower body was burning....also, one misstep and you're dead. I really had to watch myself. Time passed by much more quickly compared to riding the bike but i think i'll go back to the bike next time around because I can't go all out on it like because of safety concerns.

Deadlift keeps going up. I put 4 reps down but i'm sure I did 5. my 335 x 7 was a PR at that weight with those amount of reps. I am still having tendon problems in my left forearm so trying to do any type of rowing with an overhand grip really feels uncomfortable. Even the pullups were very uncomfortable and painful. Still, only 5 weeks left, have to work through it.
