After not having a great workout yesterday, I really stepped it up today. I was exhausted halfway through, but I felt good. My weight increased on many of my exercises. I didn't do as many squats (two sets to failure) as I wanted, but both sets were a new high for me. Leg press went well today too, as I increased my weight to 150lbs for my last two sets. Now, this weight does not include what the slide weighs. I have no idea what the slide weighs on my machine, so I just count what plates I put on myself.
Also, I did NOT do the donkey calf raises! I seriously can't even get over the fact that this is a real exercise that REAL people do. For those who don't know what they are, please watch and learn:

See what I mean?! Crazy.
So, here is my workout log for today's leg workout. Overall, I was happy with my growth. Just for laughs, I looked back at my workout log on my first day of legs during Phase Two (the first time around), and I didn't even squat weight! I also didn't finish a full set of walking lunges! So, for those feeling discouraged, DON'T! Keep pushing...one day at a time. You'll get there...you'll grow stronger.
I know what I'll do. I'll post my workout log from today, AND my workout log from my first leg day during the first time I went through Phase Two (Feb 15, 2012).

Wow! It's amazing to me to see the difference! Well, I'm going to get off here and eat dinner and write out my workout for tomorrow. I have arms, abs, and cardio. Y'all have a great night! Oh, and thank you all for the messages and comments left about putting our kitty down yesterday! It meant a lot to me.
