4 week countdown continues on pace. Today was hams/teardrop/glutes/calves. In keeping with the program, I went to short of muscular failure on each set with as near perfect form as possible. As a reminder, my goal here is preservation of mass. This means stopping before my absolute limit. Concentrate on decreasing rest intervals, and use as near perfect form as possible. The mind/muscle connection is really in use here at this time. This will increase density and separation. My entire workout took but 40 minutes this morning! This is how it went...

Leg extensions(kind of pre fatigue thinking here)
(warmup)....30x20,50x10
Sets....90x10,95x10,100x9,100x6

Superset free weight hacks with sissy squats using smith for resistance with added 40 lbs.
Sets...135x12,185x10,205x8,205x8/12,12,12

Leg curls(seated)
Sets...90x12,100x12,100x8,105x6

Dumbbell lunges
Sets....40x10,40x10


Calves

Standing calf raises(smith machine using step)
sets....200x20,250x13,300x10

Seated calf raises
sets...135x15,180x10,180x10

Goals achieved for another day...about 15 sets for legs, and 80 reps for calves of some sort. Pleased with the day.
