Well, my first day back to doing squats first and going heavy, tried to ease into it, since it was my first time back in many weeks. I had in mind to do 3 sets, ended up doing 6 sets, 1 set after finishing my leg extensions. All in all, ok, but still felt like I could have done more...there is always next time, I have a place to start now for next time.

Squats(my rep goals were simply 6,6,8)
(warmup)...135x20,185x10,205x5
Sets.....225x6,250x6,250x8,250x6,260x6

Leg extensions(each set double drop set)these were also done with no more than 30 seconds to 1 minute rest between drop sets.
(warmup)...80x10 strict
Sets....,,

*Quads were toast....went over immediately and did one set of 225x8 on squats(good kicker)

Leg curls superset with weighted kickbacks
Sets.....95x12,100x10,105x9/125x10,150x10


Calves
Really tried to focus hard on calves, want to build some meat on them!!

Standing calf raises on smith machine, weight without smith, using aerobic step for deep heel drop. At the end of the 3 rd set on, I would hold the last rep for a count of 30 if I could, then try to bang out 5 partials.
Sets....180x20,200x20,220x15,240x14,270x13

Reverse calf raises
No weight, sets of 25,30,30

Pretty good workout, if nothing else, my calves were toast! Where's my recovery drink???
