Had a pretty good leg workout yesterday. I look back at all those months where I was avoiding the doctor and trying to work through my leg tightness issues and thought I was an idiot. Couldn't even do 135 lbs squats.
Barbell squats.
45 lbs. x 10
135 lbs x 10
135 lbs x 10
225 lbs x 10
225 lbs x 10
225 lbs x 9
205 lbs x 10
Note: if you have chronic muscle tightness in your hamstrings and buttocks and it comes back the next morning even if you stretch, massage, foam roll your leg muscles, then see an orthopedic surgeon. Acupuncture, chiropractors, massage therapy, or crystal healers won't fix the root cause.
