I am getting quantitatively better (and qualitatively) at squatting and this week was able to squat 160 pounds (with help on the last 3). Apparently this is only 15 pounds shy of the master's champion in my weight class. I have until October to get past 175 pounds. Knee wraps really do seem to help as they provide the extra spring to get back up out of the squat and they protect your knees. Of course, they are wrapped soooo tight that you can't feel your feet. So, hopefully I won't lose any toes to blood deprivation lol. I went up in weight this week on most of my leg work out:
Squats: 95: 12; 135: 10; 155 8; 160 4
Stiff Legged Deads: 85: 12; 105; 12, 12
Seated Calf Raise: 70: 8; 80; 8,8
Extensions: 105 10; 120; 8, 8
Outer Thigh: 120; 12; 140; 12; 160; 12
Inner Thigh: 100: 10, 10, 10
Bar Lunges: 95; 10; 105; 8, 8
Seated Leg Press: 320; 12; 340; 10; 360 8
Ran 15 miles total and did one spin class. Getting ready to do Body Pump today -- my birthday (don't even take the day off for that) - 48 years old. Didn't think I would actually lived this long! lol. My husband of 22 years says that he feels that I look the best that I ever have - which is really sweet because I feel like the hulk. What is even more impressive is that after years of going to the gym together and we each do our own thing, - he has finally asked me to train him and is doing power lifting with me as he wants to change his body also!! Have a great day all!!!!
