Workout Log 3.2.2 - Legs. Is it possible?

It is two workouts in one 24 hour period.  You have to eat a lot of carbs to pull this off.  I wasn't sure what was going to happen because the last time I hit legs for strength I hit 300lbs. (all the weight I have) x12.  After the long time off I wasn't sure what was going to happen. Given the success of my Chest and Biceps workout I wondered if it was possible that I had not lost much strength here as well.

Motivation: 10

Focus:9

Goals: Complete Workout, Establish 1RM for each exercise.

Preparation: Meditation - 5 min, Cardio - 5 min. Visualization/Stretching

Weight Lifting:
Quads
Squat: 180x5; 205x5; 230x5; 275x5; 300x5
Front Squat: 150x5; 185x5; 205x5; 235x5; 250x3
Hamstrings
Stiff Leg Deadlift: 135x5; 185x5; 205x5; 215x5; 220x3
Lying Leg Curls: 90x5; 100x5; 110x5; 115x3; 115x2
Calves
Calf Raises: 185x5; 205x5; 225x5; 255x4; 255x1

Training Notes: Hamstrings are an interesting issue here. Combined with my glutes in the stiff leg deads and I do OK; isolate them and they suck.  Definitely going to have to focus on them.  Maybe put the Leg Curls first and push more weight. 

300lbs. five times on the squat is a lot better than I thought.  I have some time before I touch 5x5 again so as I save some money I can aim for more plates but I also am looking at a bench with a cable attachment.  More weight verses more variety here for all body parts.  The problem I see is that the added plates would only really be dealing with the Squat but the better bench would be hitting every body part with new stuff.  Looks like bench still weighs out ahead.  I  won't be back to 5x5 for six weeks so maybe I can get both.  I am about half way to the bench with my savings.  We will see. 

In any case, not much loss of strength here either.  That is good news.  
 

Workout Log: 2.43.2 - Legs

Leg Day is always a challenge.  It simple is the largest muscle group and offers a cardio workout at the same time.  A always try to isolate the different parts of the legs: Quads, Hamstrings and Calves.  Today I wanted to really nail things and have a short but intense leg workout. 

Motivation: 10 - looking forward to this one.

Focus: 9

Goals: Complete Workout, Good Mind-Muscle Connection, Good Preparation

Preparation: Mediation - 5 min. , Visualization / Stretching

Training Notes:
If there is anything negatively affecting my workouts it is energy level.  To counter this I have been making the workouts shorter but more intense.  So far so good.  The diet I am on really does not have carbs so it helps to keep thing high rep but low resistance.
