TONIGHT was supposed to be my heavy squat session for the week, but I've been feeling pretty obliterated from last week's volume, so I took it easy, and took a seat on the leg press. My first time using it, and the first time I've used a leg press since I was a brah-trainer in my early twenties.

That's heavier than I was leg pressing in my early twenties. That's heavier than the biggest, strongest body builder in my gym was pressing, if I remember correctly.

*Yeah, I know it's not quite 900. Blame Joel - he told me it was nine hundy and I had no reason to doubt him till I checked just now. Lying bastard.

Thank jeebus I can rest tomorrow.
