7/5

Quads and Calves
Good session that built upon the first wave of the routine. Everything felt pretty good, left knee doesn't seem to be as bad anymore, so the tendonitis that has been acting up seems to be getting better. Strength was solid throughout and improved on most movements, even if only by a small amount of weight. Moved at a fast tempo and got a great pump in my quads and calves. Worked on the negative on the sumo squats and made sure to sort of sit in the bottom and explode up, so the weight was about the same as last week. Switched up calves and went with seated singles instead of singles on the hack squat, so the weight was a bit less but still got a great pump and hit a different angle of the muscle. Finished up with some light cardio. Still waiting for my gym to get a new scale to see where my weight is exactly, but it was 183 even at last check.

Leg extension: 2 warms, 240 x 9, 235 x 10
Front squats: 2 warms, 165 x 8, 195 x 8, 225 x 6, 240 x 5
Sumo squats: 1 warm, 275 x 11, 295 x 10, 300 x 9
Split squat (on hack squat): 110 x 11, x 10, x 10 (Drop set, 1 drop to failure)
Seated calf singles: 130 x 20, x 18, x 18, x 16, x 15
8 mins cardio
