Day 39

Today's Notes:

I. Hate. Leg. Day.

It is a hellish day. There's very little enjoyable about it, honestly... If it weren't for the fact that it's quite possibly the most vital day of all lifting days, I wouldn't do it. Because of the sports I choose to pursue (football, then wrestling, then judo, then cycling, then football again), leg strength is insanely important. Add to that the fact that the quads are the largest muscle group in the body, thus meaning that increasing their size and endurance increases your metabolism, and you have the ONLY TWO REASONS I even bother doing it.

Blah.

HOW I FEEL:

Totally craptastic. I always end up with a headache on leg day, and I imagine it's due to the fact that my head hates me for dong all this. But it's over with for another 4 days, hallelujah.
