For not liking leg workouts, this day is becoming a favorite somehow. I like alternating between leg exercises and pull ups. It allows enough rest in between sets of pull-ups so that I can do more of them in a clean and unassisted manner. I don't like having to throw the chair in the mix to help get more reps in. When the chair is there it messes with my head and I don't do as many as I actually could on my own. I know it is supposed to help but I think I like doing pull-ups unassisted until failure and then that's it.
Putting the hurt on the legs has become some kind of a challenge for me. There are still exercises that I can't do properly without a variation of the actual move. Dead lift squats for instance...I can do maybe 3, and they do 20. So I have to keep a foot on the floor a little to take off some weight so I can go all the way down and come back up again. One legged wall squats I have only recently been able to partake in properly. But now it is a matter of getting my leg up past the 90 degree point. And ultimately, I should be using weights on all the exercises that use them. I still don't on balance lunges, or alternating side lunges as they are challenging enough without....but I will get there.
Thanksgiving dinner must have been good...
