Okay... so there is the nice informal challenge between me and this gal at the gym. She is quite strong in the legs and is also very competitive. Turns out I am too. Competitive that is. Didn't really think I was, but hey... I am, I guess. Plus, I like a challenge every now and again.

About a month ago she told me she could leg press 420 pounds. So, I took that as a challenge and haven't looked back! I have a mission... 500 pounds by the end of the year. Ii'm pretty confident I'll be able to reach that. She has also apparently pulled a hamstring a few weeks ago... I hope she heals soon. Reall, I mean that.

I was overly excited today, as it was Leg Day...

Warm Up: Three minutes on eliptical

Leg Press: 160lbsx10/210lbsx8/300lbsx6/440lbsx7 (was gonna try for 450, but didn't want to push too hard and hurt myself.)
Leg Xtns: 8px10/9px8/10px6/14px6
DB SLDL: 20lbsx10/25lbsx8/35lbsx6/40lbsx6
Smith Squats: 40lbsx10/60lbsx8/65lbsx6/70lbsx6
SL Calf Raises: 30lbsx10x4

I love Leg Day.

On my way out, I told my competitor that I pushed 440. She didn't have very nice things to say. Then I added I would do 500 by the end of the year. I guess the gauntlet has been thrown down.

Bring it on.
