Want my Shoulders Back (and the rest of me too)

[GirlyGymRat]

I find your log very intriguing!!!

you have a weight belt/I never thought to buy one for myself although I don't consider myself a powerlifter by any stretch.
you start your week on SATURDAY...very interesting approach!

so you started your week with leg day!!!

I've changed up my plan to start the week on Saturday so here goes. Still starting with primarily powerlifting stuff, and then switch to hypertrophy focus. I'm still making progress this way so I'm sticking to it.
Actually - I finally can tell a difference in my legs, chest, and shoulders!! I can see it, also my weight belt is a teensy bit loose today.

Legs:
Squats: worked up with triples 135, 155, 165, then singles 175, 185! usually I drop down for work sets, but these 185's felt so solid I stayed with them for 5 sets! MUCH better feel today - finally.
Lying leg curls 3 sets moving up in weight, and then triple drop set for the work set.
Standing BB stiffs with 85# for 3 sets of 10. Hard squeeze at the end of each rep.
Leg press - sets of 10 with 3 second negatives, and then explode up. No lockout at the top. Only up to 2 plates, but these were hard.
Smith squats, 2 sets of 10s.
Leg extenseions on 50# hard squeeze at the tops.
Excellent day. Hard to get up the stairs at the end!

Thanks GGR -
I do use a belt on the top work sets. It's useful for "pushing" into on squats and deadlifts. I don't use it for anything else.
I started thinking that I'm a lot more free on weekends and so busy at work lately during the week - so it made sense to start on Saturday!
