Max Effort Squats / Deadlift

Today I planned to go to the beach. I found myself getting up at 0530 and I decided to do a quick work out before going. It was early in the morning and I wasn't mentally prepared to train. Here is what I did.

Squats - 135lbs/12, 225lbs/6, 315lbs/2
Parallel Box Squats - 315lbs/4, 365lbs/2, 4 sets, sinngles, 405lbs
Lat Pull Downs - 3 sets, 8 reps, 180lbs
Inclined Leg Press - 270lbs/12, 360lbs/12, 450lbs/12
SS with
Calf Extentions - 270lbs/12, 360lbs/12, 450lbs/12

I was surprised at how the leg press felt after doing heavy squats. All day at the beach my leg felt like jello. I think its time to really mix up my training. I'm surprised how the body can adapt so well to different exercises. Just when you get a handle on a style of training its time to change it up. I'll be adding heavy leg presses to my training for the next while. It's a good pain.

PS - you might be a powerlifter if you check your squat height every time you sit down on the toilet.
