Big A** Plates were mine

Yes, I squatted the BIG ones, the 25kg plates, for a set of 8. Total of 60kg (including bar) . PLUS next set Adam added another 10kg, for a total of 70kg for 7 reps. That is definitely my best squat. I was going for 4 reps, and got 7! I have never even done those plates for 8 reps before, so doing it while dieting is rather a big accomplishment me thinks :) I then leg pressed 180 kg for 12 reps, then 220kg for 6, before I had to give it up due to the right quad pinching - it's so weird, when I lift heavy leg press, or deadlift, I get a nerve pinch, just under the skin on the top of my right quad. It's a painful stinging sensation, and then the area goes numb. So then we did sets of 20-30 bottom half pulses - I think these hurt even more. Followed with single leg high step ups, leg extension, leg curl with triple drop set, and then 5 continuous mins of alternate leg extensions to burn out the quads. Then Adam made me finish with an excruciating 5 mins on the recumbent bike. I wished I had my camera there so I could take some pics of my squats :) Next time. Now I will just wait to get sore. I hope not so sore that I can't do my cardio.

I booked in to see my physio on Thursday morning. Maybe she can give me some exercises to help my hamstring/groin problem.

Things here are very hectic. I am just managing to keep my head above water - I think. The house move is sort of on the backburner - we haven't been there for 2 days. I just am trying to cope with the workload and my training and dieting at present. I tanned before training, must get browner for Queensland! I can't WAIT to be walking on the beach in 10 days time.

Thanks for all the comments ladies :)

I want to add some pics but I don't seem to be able to anymore...
