TEAM USP — DAY 3: Legs, Calves & Abs
Lower body work.
* 189.9 This morning, Out of morbid curiosity at 1600 I was at 197.5
• Leg Press
270 Stance narrow today.
Paused reps. Smooth and controlled.
4×12, quads feeling fine. With narrow stance holding the foam block is almost not needed although working here is deeper than all others. Getting a big stretch. Easy to come out the hole. This is continued progress on how my legs and knees feel. I did some isolation leg extension to warm up. Focused on getting knee alignment straight over the cap. Seems like I may be on to something here.
• Cable Crunches
We are staying at 150lbs. Spine arched, hips pulling through.
Controlled and systemic.
And doing 6 sets . I ran this up to 15. I take a solid 60 seconds to recover. I still am shaking hard on set 3 it's at rep 10 that the wall is starting the last 2 sets were a test. The rest in between sets is the only way to get this much done. I am determined to get my core popping.
• Romanian Deadlifts
120lbs, Belt tight. Hamstrings drawn tight. Close to the shins, keeping head up.
10 on set one, backed down on reps after 3 going to 10 and 9. Being methodically. We are building one day at a time. And one extra rep.
• Calf Raises
120 lbs On a 2‑inch platform, heels hanging deep.
Stretch, squeeze up, repeat. 5 sets done at 10 reps. Set 5 is where the money is made!
• Hanging Leg Raises
Weighted sets with 10 lbs on the feet.
Strict, no sway. If I do, I reset, balance and go again. 9 reps with a rest of 60 seconds. I was lit up in the abs. Did the 8 reps, 2 more sets. We stay even....again. Still a win.
• Smith Machine Squats
250 lbs, narrow stance, tempo steady.
10 reps then 8 matched again for sets 3 & 4. Nice and smooth. Form feels good with the toes straight today. The foam is being used not sure I need it in this stance Quads sweeps are burning hard now!
• Hack squat started this off light as the finish touch. 150, 3 sets neutral stance, toes pushed down and straight 12, 10, 10. quads were fine in neutral stance. Foam box is still being used. I should note I am high up on the plate. Mostly quad focused. And like clock work this insurance of waddling drunk look for tomorrow. As I did a few extra just for fun. Super slow fire thighs. No not like at a truck stop!
• Daily Totals
- Calories: ~3,250–3,500
- Protein: ~320g
-Fats:~85–105g
- Sodium ~ 3,500 – 4,100
- Carbs: ~425–480 Moderate‑high
- Fats: Controlled, mostly from eggs + almond butter
• Notes of the Day
Had a good day overall. Not overloaded with things to do. Still got 9k steps in. Time is clicking closers to when I will go back to work in a shop. It will be a change for the better I hope. It will take time to adjust. I will probably just do my morning log stuff right after workout and eating at the same time to run out the door. Finish my daily notes. Then digg around for the news and write that up drinking my last shake of the day. Well its a start of a plan.

This is the quiet pressure phase before the weekend blows up with new winners, new pro cards, and new physiques.
