Superset gym day

Another gym leg day! Yesterday i didn't do anything cause i got distracted with other things whoops.


  • Warm-up (20 minutes)
  • Hip adductors 2x15 (25kg), 2x10 (30kg), 1x20 sets of 5 (30kg) 
  • Leg extension 1x12 (15kg), 3x10 (20kg), 1x8 (25kg), 1x20 sets of 4 (25kg) 
  • Leg press 1x15 (30kg), 1x15 (40kg), 1x12 (50kg), 1x10 (60kg), 1x26 sets of 5 (60kg) 
  • Romanian deadlifts 5x5 4kg
  • Stretch

I went to the gym way later than i wanted and the entire gym was full with zoomers (my bad). I had to turn around my entire training schedule because the machines i wanted to use were constantly occupied which was very annoying.

I started with the hip adductors which were a pain in the ass (not literally) because my adductors were still sore from Wednesday. Before i leave my house i always stretch and i couldn't stretch the adductors as well as i usually can which was annoying. Doing 30kg was very difficult (i was struggling around the 8 reps) and i didn't write down that i wanted my super sets to be 4, not 5, so i thought my super set had to be 5 reps so that kind of fucked me up lol.

After the adductors i wanted to do the leg press but it was occupied, so i waited for a bit and it was still occupied so i just decided to do the leg extension. This wasn't very smart because my legs hurt so badly after doing my supersets that i could barely walk and i was getting very annoyed because to me, gauging my strength is done through the leg press, it is my most important work-out at the gym, and i was gonna do it last. I wasn't happy about this.

At the leg press i felt like i was struggling a lot, especially with the 50kg, and the 60kg wasn't easy either. I did a superset of almost 30 reps, but i think i only hit 26 and then i just died. My legs hurt so badly and i usually never have lactic acid problems when doing the leg press. So next time i will just wait to use the leg press, cause i am never gonna do it last again.

After the leg press i just went straight home cause i could barely walk and someone was doing the lat raises, so i was like whatever. I was thinking about maybe just walking into the gym to do lat raises on my arm/shoulder days and then walk out. The gym is nearby and i would only have to use one device so i wouldn't really care how crowded it is. I won't even bother going to the changing room, just walk in and out.

Anyways, at home i did the RDLs which went easy since 4kg is kind of a very low weight for me, and then for stretches i did an extra 20 minutes of adductor stretches since they felt so tight. At the moment they are still sore but i don't feel as stiff.

Now i have Sunday to look forward to to do my entire home routine.
