I decided to try something this week and want to know what you guys think. I usually do cardio on Wed evening and then do legs on Thurs. This week I skipped the cardio to see if i would make a difference. I got through all my BB squats without any help and did sets of 15-12-10 instead of 12-10-8 on my leg presses with no problems and then upped my last set of ext to 130# and got 6 good reps in. Now was it skipping the cardio, psychological, or coincidence? I actually had sore legs that evening too, which I usually don't until the next day. Felt sooooo good...lol. Whaddaya think?

I found that doing cardio around leg time does decrease my sets and weight as well azredhead, that's why I do legs on Monday, after my 2 day off weekend, then I do light cardio tues to loosen them back, so I'll have to say it was skipping the cardio.
