Workout: 10-7-2012 (Legs)

Yestrday was my favorite....leg day!! I was lucky enough to do this workout with Brandon, who has helped me so much with my workouts and gives me so many tips and advice. I owe so much of what I know to him and don't know what I would do without him in my life. Anyway, we did this workout at Peak Performanc in Brazil, where Brandon now works. It's a garage gym and was an awesome facility! I was quite impressed. Here is what the workout looked like:

Warm up: foam rolling (foucusing especially on the glutes and hamstrings)
Squats: (45x8) (85x5) (100x3) (130x3) (140x3) (150x5)
Safety Bar Box Squats: (65x6) (70x6) (80x6) (80x6)
Safety Bar Good Mornings: (65x8) (65x8) (65x8) (65x8)
Kettlebell Walking Lunges: Held a 25 lb kettlebell in each hand: 25 lunges on each leg
Seated Squat Machine (not sure if this is the exact name, it was the first time I'd ever used anything like this and it was KILLER!!): (120x10) (120x10) (120x10)
Glute Ham Raises: (bodyweight x8) (bodyweight x10)
Prowler Pushes/Pulls: This was our conditioning, I'm not sure how many rounds we did...we just kept going until we were beat
Blast Strap Fallouts: (4x12)

After the workout we made sure to foam roll and then we were done! Overall, it was a great workout and I'm certainly felling the soreness today! This was the first time I'd used a safety bar, as the gym I work in does not have one. I really liked it; definitely a good way to switch things up. Brandon gave me some good squat tips so by putting those tips to good use I hope to see my squat numbers go up. We used the prowler for conditioning. I wish I had access to one of those! It really got my heart pumping but was tons of fun.We ended the workout with abs on the balst straps and more foam rolling. After the workout we went out for Mexican, thank you carb backloading (I'll talk about that more later) In honor of lower body day and the fact that my butt is super sore, I'll leave you all with this:
