Hey Doogie! Great pic!

Hey Red,
I hope your measurements are in lbs, because when I was done with the leg press at 240kg (530lbs), I did leg extensions at 45kg (99lbs) and I was almost crying like a baby If you're doing leg extensions at 50kg then I need to pull my finger out!

Now I feel like a dumbass.
Wow 90 pounds is still impressive for me. I'm going to try and see if I can press more next time. Thing is if I do it too high then I will be too weak for extensions so maybe stay at 90 for a couple weeks.
I may try to go heavier on the deadlifts though.
yeah, the drop sets sounds like you are really maxing out. Have you seen a big difference since you started doing them in the way your muscles react?

I know I hate upper body but I love doing legs. I am much weaker there and I don't find it fun at all. Plus it's a longer workout.
Since I am not doing BFL I might break it into two. Do you think I should do chest and back together or Chest and biceps and triceps and then do Back with shoulders? I would have a day in between them.

Ditched two handed dumbell extensions today for assisted tricep dips.... what a way to make you feel like a weakling knowing that you need to put some weight on the see-saw thing to be able to lift your own body weight!
I now have doing unassisted tricep dips as a big goal to reach!
My arms ached differently doing them than just doing the overhead extensions. I still did lying extensions as my last set and got the weight up on that.
At the end I did a couple of sets of walking to failure with 20kg dumbells to try and improve my grip.

I know the overhead tricep extension and I know the lying tricep extension. Are you doing both triceps at the same time? What do you mean by walking to failure?
