What the hell is up with my legs?
Ok, I just came back from the gym and I'm pretty ****ed right now.
Now, I know I'm skinny and I know I'm an ectomorph and therefore by definition my legs are supposed to be weak and skinny, but what is up with this:
Alright, on 5/29 I was able to squat 225 for 5 reps pretty easily. I'm talking ass to the ground, full squats. On that day I weighed 164 lbs, with about 8% bodyfat.
For the next two months I was busy and really didn't work out that much. For for the last month, I hurt my right foot pretty badly so I limited my walking, and when I did walk, I had a limp.
Today, 7/25, I weighed 160lbs. My goal was to squat 145 for 5 sets of 8. But, because I'm such a wuss, I only got 3 sets and then I had to lower the weight to 135 for the last two sets, which really took a LOT of effort to complete. Really, like my legs were dead and I had to will myself to complete the last few reps while taking 5-10 second rests between each rep. Sad, really, because I think I wasn't even this weak when I first started lifting weights years ago.
Ok, so what the ****. Like I said above, I know my legs are naturally weak (I've had fat clients who could leg press more than me (when I'm trained) on their first day ever in the gym). But still, I'm really, really ****ed right now. I know all my endurance is gone from PTP'ing, but still, should I really be this weak right now? This is rediculous.
I don't want to do only PTP because it kills your endurance, but it seems to be the only thing I can make progress in.
Ford? El Pietro? Anyone?
