Hope it feels better brother.

My copy of Generation Iron finally came in, able to watch it last night. Puts a whole new perspective on how hard these guys train. You guys are welcome to borrow it from me if you like, it doesn't come out till mid May.

Back day is my least favorite day. Well just before legs...

[mk05]

A medication has been making me feel nauseous and sickly the past couple weeks. Hope to get out of the funk soon.

I use to not like legs, until I started seeing them grow. Actually do legs twice a week now. There's not a day I don't enjoy training.

Same! I don't know what happened, but something clicked and now I love legs.

Don't get me wrong. I love hitting the gym up. Just have some exercises I enjoy doing SOOO much more than others. Maybe need to switch up routine and that may help.

Seeing the gains also really helps to motivate me. Maybe have to start looking for them more in the legs.

No gym for me today yet. Sick kiddo so may head up to gym a little later and see what I can get done after she goes to bed.

[Adriftpanda]

Speaking of legs, leg day.

Warmed up with some leg extensions, 5-7x10-15

Front squats: 5x6
Lying leg curls: 6x8-12
Seated leg curls -- hack squats: 4x15-20
Stiff leg deads: 4x12-15

Not a whole lot of energy today, partly due to staying out till 3am.
