I switched my leg workout from Thursday to Wednesday because I will rest on  Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Today was a less intense workout than last week. I started with squats and did sets of 20 with 45, 95, 135, 225 and 315. This was the easiest "working set" I've done- it was a breeze to get that 315 for 20 with no rest (using the constant tension principle for every set of squats.) That really shocked me. After squats I did 1, 20 rep, set of smith machine lunges; then super-set leg extensions and leg curls, 2 sets of 20 each; next was 2 sets of 20 seated leg curls; and I finished with 2 sets of leg presses, 30 and 23 reps respectively. It was a great pump, they were crazy tight, but again my intensity was purposefully lower than normal. I'm excited to start next week fresh and rested.
