I was not looking forward to doing lower body today. My Ninebot One training has left me with a contusion on my left hip, an inflamed left ankle, a slightly sprained right ankle, a jammed right wrist, and various bruises and brush burns on my legs from the knee down. I don’t list these things for sympathy as they are entirely of my own doing. It’s just an FYI as to why leg day, which I normally dislike anyway, had an extra big dosage of dread this week.
I got under the bar for squats today. Instead of doing multiple sets of 8 reps at 185 lbs I ventured higher in the weight totals for the first time in quite awhile. My rep numbers could probably have been a little higher at each weight level but I was conservative. I did at least make sure to get some decent depth, even at 225lbs. Of course my lower body hurt during the entire session but nothing debilitating. I did shut seated leg curls down after two sets because of an uncomfortable pulling sensation I was feeling inside the left knee.
