Great Lower Body Workout

Today went much better than Monday's workout. I made sure I recovered properly and got in some good pre-workout nutrition.

Here's what went on:

1) Squat 125x2x8, 150x2x2
2a) DB Split Squat 40x2x10
2b) BB Shrug 135x3x8
3a) Back Extension 45x2x10
3b) Standing Calf Raise w/ 3 sec pause 120x2x10
4a) Cable Crunch 90x2x18
4b) Hanging Leg Raise 2x14

Great workout, and I improved on all of my lifts.

Today in the gym there was a kid doing heavy squats. Now I was impressed with his effort, however, he is a short period away from severly hurting himself. All of the weight was on the ball of his toes and he only squatted down about a quarter of the way.

Please, if you are going to do technical lifts like squats, deadlifts, lunges, cleans, and other movements you're not really sure about, please get a professional to help you.

Get out there and set some PRs!!! (personal records)
It's a sure way to improve your physique.
