THT (G2 : W1 - Legs)
Great workout today. I added in the side bends due to a lack of oblique work in THT. I know... obliques do work in other exercises, blah blah blah. I see no point in standing there wasting three minutes when I could throw in a simple exercise using the same equipment to work a separate neglected body part while my legs and lower back are recovering. I also added an ab set at the end since I'm doing abs twice per week: once on leg day and once on chest day.
Other than that, pretty standard fare. I like to stay a bit higher in the rep ranges for legs when working to failure because honestly, failing at squats with 350+ pounds on my back is frightening. I'll sacrifice a bit of possible growth for continued back function. I'm going to up the weight on the leg presses, extensions, and curls next time; likely calves as well. I get the feeling that the stiff-legged deadlifts are good where they're at for the moment. The soreness tomorrow will be my guide.
