Setting records making my own personal goals!

The infamous leg day came for me on Thursday and I'm pleased. Last week I started incorporating lying wide leg press to my regimen (I usually do the seated press), good golly is it tough. When I started doing leg press, a trainer told me to start at my body weight so I started pressing at 135. Theming leg press on he other had is tougher because its literally you pushing the free weight up. Last week I completed 5x12 at 90lbs. This week I completed 5x10 at 100lbs. I may do another round at 100lbs so I can increase my strength to 12 reps per set. That alone with 30 second rest breaks left me completely drenched in sweat!

Another accomplishment made since I omitted dead lifts on back day was adding weight to these exercises. I was able to get the squat rack all to my own so I added 10lbs to the 45lb barbell and used the padding and went to town. When I fusty started my journey I could not even lift the 45lb bar, then, I only able to use it in the form of dead lifts only, now I adding weigh to both my deadlifts and wide stance squats.

My vastus lateralis muscle protrudes as is but I need to work on my definition more on quads hamstrings and V.S. I think I. Was so focused on inner thigh that I'm neglecting other leg muscles.

Unfortunately I was t able to really get into my other exercises because my hypoglycemia started kicking bad. I know it's bad to work out on a empty stomach but I was so presses to get my workout done that I did not want to stop at the grocery store for pre and post meal nutrition. I'm fixing it though.
