For the lack of initiative of keeping this log and general absence of event in my private life that I would like to share with the world, I decided to write down my weightlifting training details from now on. Let me put this diary to a good use.

I had a serious leg training session on Friday after a long inteval. On Saturday my legs were quite sore. On Sunday I felt pain when I walked and especially when descending the stairs. Today it is still aching. My workout was as following:

Squat 30x10
Squat 40x8
Squat 50x6

All the weights are in kg. Bar is 10kg, although it may be 12.5kg. All the
sqats were done with with barbell on front, as in clean and jerk. Not so
impressive numbers but I did them the right way, all the way down.

Next was legs extension, there I do not remember how much it was.
Somewhere in the middle of the stack. I will be more specific next time.

And I finished off the workout with plain crunches with 10kg plate on chest.

Then I played squash for two hours as cardio, and here is th the result:
I am limping for three days now.

Today I will work out my chest with absolutely no cardio due to sore legs.
