Skeptics log of unknown mental brutality

[Skeptic]

I will overtrain myself currently if I go heavy on both leg days. I'll let my body get used to this before I up the weight too much on light quad day

Nice work Skippy, how do your hips feel?

 

[Skeptic]

Not too bad, the reps were easy, I'll put a bit more weight on the bar next week to see how I go

 

[El Freako]

You wait until they get real heavy, your hips don't know what they're in for.

 

[Skeptic]

hehe I'm expecting my glutes to be hurting tomorrow. Im using a bench currently, which takes me to just above parallel. Can't see anything in the gym that I could use to take me to parallel or below

No step-up platforms?

 

[Skeptic]

I've seen them there before, I gotta find where they keep them though.

 

[El Freako]

Check the cardio/aerobics room. That's where we had ours at Alex Hills.

 

[Skeptic]

Yeah, they used to have them scattered around the weights room as well, gotta go on a hunt

 

[Lionheart]

Nice PB bro.Good to see you doing GMs.How do you like em?

 

[Skeptic]

Thanks man

I really like goodmornings, my hamstrings get way more of a workout from them than leg curls, as well as the goodmornings will help with my squats as well. A+ exercise hehe
