Post Weekend Yackery.

145 lbs

Leg Extension 115/10
Squat 100s/6

Leg Curl 85/8

Some stupid shit happened today. After my warm up squat sets I set the weight for my work set before heading of to the leg extension to begin the superset. Then when I finish my work set I realized that someone had taken one 45 off the Hammer Strength machine. So I had done my workset with 100 lbs on one side and only 50 on the other. When I corrected this, I was able to pull out 6 reps before totally giving out. Not only was my left leg entirely cooked, but my overall energy levels were so depleted due to the effort required in maintaining balance even as I wasn't even aware of this problem. I suppose many people view smith machines and Hammer Strength machines as additional weight stacks so they just pull weights off them thinking those machines are not in use. I had not realized to what extent my legs were fatigued until I attempted my calf raises. My left leg, which was the leg which took the heaviest side of the imbalance, could not sat fully extended on the standing calf raise. What is worse is that my left calf was on the verge of cramping after only one rep. Realizing the douchebagery that occurred earlier had significantly fatigued my entire lower body, I decided to cut my workout short. Even my lower back feels a little off, no doubt from the unbalanced squats from earlier. Next leg workout I plan on increasing weights on the leg extension and curls while attempt for 10+ reps on the Hammer ground squat at 100s on each side.

Kazimierz has already laid her eggs and I missed it, again. I still plan on taking some video clips and posting them somewhere. I've cleaned up the nesting area and returned the pebbles but it looks like shes digging another hole. Gustav seems to be in rough shape. Those two have finally formed a breeding pair so he was defending the nest. However, as know has parts of his lips bitten off because of skirmishes with the yellow lab. Hopefully, no infection occurs. I plan on performing a water change and maybe adding in some aquarium salt.
