December 6, 2011 Workout from 4 Years Ago

Was just flipping back through the log book I use and came across a workout from almost exactly 4 years ago.  Check out these beastly numbers.   I probably weighed around 167 or so for this workout:


  • BB Sumo Squats: 185*2 225*2 245*2 265*1
  • Good Mornings: 95*10 115*10
  • Nautilus Leg Extensions: 125*10 155*10 
  • Nautilus Leg Curl: 65*3 -hamstrings shot
  • Hoist Leg Press Calf-Press: 8*10 10*12 15*10 21*10

Good to see how much things have improved.  It's funny flipping back through this thing, on December 8th, 2007 I did 5 pullups with 25 lbs. added on, so that's 192 lbs. I was pulling up.  That's my bodyweight now and I can do 14 dead hang, those 5 I did 4 years ago may have had a slight cheat on them.  My 5 rep max now is probably 192 lbs + 55, so 247 lbs.  Not too shabby.  It's good to look back and see if you're making progress, one of the good things about keeping a log book, and backing it up somewhere. 

Even better, I just found one from December 12, 2001.  On that day I quarter squatted the hell out of 3 sets of squats:

  • BB Squats: 225*12 175*12 315*6
  • Leg Extensions: 11*11 12*11
  • Leg Curls: 10*10 10*10
  • Calf Press: 395*10 395*10 395*10 395*10
Wow...a decade ago.
