Making Shit Happen [Workout Log]

It's been awhile since I've posted any training logs or anything at all having to do with working out, but as I mentioned in the previous post, the first item on my list for 2018 is to actually get rid of this extraneous mass, and since that's something that is actually 100% within my control, there's no time like the present to get going.

With that, here's my latest workout log.

Date: 27 December 2017
Weight: 245^[1]
Workout: Every day is leg day!

1. Bike n' bench: This is just something I made up to make riding the bike a little less boring. I do 5-minute intervals on the stationary bike interspersed with sets of chest press (on the machine, sadly) for a total of N minutes (in this case, N=35). That worked out to:
   • 5 minute bike, 185x8
   • 5 minute bike, 185x8
   • 5 minute bike, 185x8
   • 5 minute bike, 185x8
   • 5 minute bike, 195x8
   • 5 minute bike, 195x8
   • 5 minute bike, 195x3
2. Single-leg leg press:
   • Left leg: 120x5x10
   • Right leg: 120x10x10

Yeah, I'm doing 10 sets of 10 with the right leg but only 10 sets of 5 with the left. The thought is to try to close the strength gap between my operative leg and my non-operative leg but not just completely stop training my non-op leg. Last time I checked it, there was a 16.7% difference in 1RM strength on the leg press between left and right.

Anyway, I was completely exhausted by the end of the leg press, even though my peak HR actually came during the first exercise. Here is the biometric data.
