V-tricep machine extensions (4) warm up sets

Band tricep stretch 60 seconds
EZ bar curls (4) warm up sets

Took a couple weeks off to enjoy nature. Didn't even think about lifting and ate whatever the f**k I wanted. Came out looking better than I went in. Haha. I guess my body just needed a reset. I haven't taken an actual week off since I had COVID last year and you really cannot count that, because your body is struggling.

Hit legs today
Squats (5) feeder sets, 355 lbs x 10 (Really deep. My hamstrings made contact with my calf on each rep and I held it for a 4 count at the bottom of each rep. You almost have to fully relax at the bottom to keep from falling over.)
Sissy squats (2) feeder sets, 22/11/9 (15 breath rest pause between working sets.)
Quad stretch 60 seconds
SLDL (2) feeder sets, 275 lbs x 22 (Usually when I go above 225 lbs I lose mind muscle connection and I just power through, but this felt great. This was a solid set.)
SLDL stretch 60 seconds
Seated calf extensions (2) feeder sets, 355 lbs x 18
Calf stretch 30 seconds

My back, hamstrings and groin were all killing me today, so I decided to skip hack squats and just focus on isolation exercises. Well that was the plan, but I ended up doing hack squats anyways, as I started to feel a bit better towards the end of the workout.

Leg extensions (4) feeder sets, 250 lbs x 19/10/8 (15 breath rest pause between working sets.)
Quad stretch 60 seconds
Standing leg curls (4) feeder sets, 60 lbs x 21/12/10 (15 breath rest pause between working sets. These were done standing completely upright instead of leaning over the pad. When I hear people complain about standing leg curls and calling them a wasted exercise, I tell them to stand up and lighten the load. You would be amazed at how much differently they hit.)
SLDL stretch 60 seconds
Adductor (3) feeder sets, 6 plates x 12/5 plates x 7/4 plates x 8 (drop set)
Abductor (3) feeder sets, 5 plates x 11/4 plates x 8/3 plates x 15 (drop set)
Hack squats (2) feeder sets, 7 pps x 12 (I could have done at least one more, but decided to rack it and save the back for another day.)
Seated calf raises (2) feeder sets, 6 plates x 15/4 plates x 12/2 plates x 20 (drop set)
Calf stretch 60 seconds

how's your training more centered on? You are coming down from a bulk right?

My training is more centered around DC with a little mix of Fortitude every once in a while. I am just trying to build more muscle every time I go in the gym. A lot of people will complain about lacking definition and start doing more isolation than anything else, when really they lack muscle development.

Slight bulk. I never let myself get above 12-14% BF anymore.

I didn't plan on doing leg press today, but since I had a cheat day on Saturday and the muscles were full, I figured they needed some heavy resistance.

Leg press (5) feeder sets, 32 plates x 19 (Almost got 20, but I knew when I finished 19 there was no way 20 was going up and I do not practice negatives with that much weight. Good way to tear a quad.)
Leg extensions (2) feeder sets, 250 lbs x 17/8/5 (15 breath rest pause between working sets.)
Quad stretch 60 seconds
Hamstring/back extensions (3) feeder sets, BW + 150 lbs x 10/BW + 100 lbs x 5/BW + 50 lbs x 2 (drop set)
