If intensity can be measured by how often you push yourself to the point of almost passing out or puking, then I had one helluva session today.
Leg day. Focused on box squats really trying hard to sit back, pause, and push the floor apart. Warmed up with 135 x 8, 185 x 5, 225 x 5 (as well as some stiff-legged deads, leg press, and pul down abs). Working sets were 225 x 3 for 8 sets. The last set was, um, hard -- i.e., I just couldn't keep my body tight anymore.
Time to stop? HELL NO!
Stiff-legged deads: 185 x 8 for 3 sets
Pull-throughs: 170 x 10 for 2 sets; 200 x 8 for 2 sets
Pull-down abs: 200 x 11, 10, 8, 7
Tried to do some light deadlifts as a cool down; but my body just didn't want to cooperate. LoL! Gonna take my protein, stretch, and go play some racquetball with DrMS.
Happy lifting to all!!!
