Severe Leg Workout

I got invited to join Matt Lewis for a leg workout today, jumped at the chance as I do most of my training alone and Matt is about the same standard as me when it comes to legs.

The aim was for Matt to aim for a heavy squat PB and then half kill ourselves afterwards until walking became difficult!

Warm Up
25 x Bar (20kg) squats

Squats
10 x 110kg
10 x 150kg
1 x 180kg
1 x 200kg I failed, Matt managed
1 x 210kg I failed, Matt managed
1 x 220kg Both did 3 x partial reps (half way down)
10 x 150kg
10 x 110kg

Jump Squats
10 x 110kg

Overhead squats
5 x 70kg
10 x 60kg

Drop Set Squats (each to do the 3 sets on no rest and then swap)
10 x 120kg
10 x 100kg
10 x 80kg

Bench Squats (legs astride a bench, bum to touch bench)
15 x 80kg

Power Cleans
10 x 80kg - Matt finished here, 'done'

Straight Leg deadlifts
2 x 10 x 80kg 

Cool Down
10 mins recumbent bike until HR below 110


That's the hardest leg session I've done for a long time. Struggled to walk up and down steps or even on the flat for that matter. Felt very shakey for half an hour or so after. Going to feel it for the next day or two...
