Legs/calves

Well, another leg day down!! I can tell from the last 2 workouts, no matter how much I don't want to admit it, I am wearing down a bit. The good news is I am staying pretty strong, but on the other hand between work and the workload in the gym, add in the reduced calorie diet, and my reps and sets are getting a bit fewer. But, that is to be expected, I would rather have that than take a big strength loss, though in a way this is the same thing. The physics of the mind work better though when you are still at least hoisting up the same or very close poundages with but 3 1/2 weeks to go. So, that is the new developement.

Leg presses(feet shoulder width and medium height)
Sets.....590x10,610x10,640x10

Leg presses(feet low and close)
Sets....590x6,,(last 2 sets ran out of gas, so I raised the holding platform and did partials)

Leg presses(feet high and wide)
Sets....590x10,610x10,610x10

Squats( balance is an issue here!)
Sets...135x10,185x8,225x6


Calves

Seated plate calf raises
Sets...180x15,180x12,180x13

Standing calf raises(smith machine)
Sets....200x18,250x15,300x10

supersetted with no weight sets of 15 raises with each set of seated calf raises.

Diet is the same, no changes here. I do believe I will be coasting in to the finish with the same diet. It seems to be achieveing my goals as is, and I am of the mind right now that no changes(at least reductions) will need to be made.
