Breh's I'm going to tell you all a useless story; but we're all friends, and I think I'm in the trust tree.

So My hate of lifting weight, is deep rooted. When I played football in high school, our coaches weren't about teaching proper form; and it was just lift as much weight as you can; and call it a day. Well in this I had terrible technique, and when (specifically) did squats; I had horrible lower back pain and this is in 9th and 10th grade mind you ( no way I could have been flabby) and everyday is was like this, and I couldn't stand it; and subsequently found out anyway, to make it look like I was doing something, when I was actually not doing anything.

Reading through the tips on here and other fitness places, though it seemed I was going to have to start lifting, to achieve what I want. I joined a gym and the first day was brutal, I didn't know what the heck I was doing and just ended up hopping on a tread mill and ran, but after that I was like screw that! I want to achieve something, and put my pride to the side, and went and asked for the trainers for some tips. I've been working with the trainers for a bit he's been showing me correct form; and even though I'm not even really lifting heavy weight, I do actually feel like I'm getting a good workout and burning and on top of that no pain; which is awesome! I don't hate it anymore and it has increased my determination for what I'm trying to accomplish

I looked at my workout calendar/log and noticed I only worked on legs once last month. :to:
So, I worked out legs on Friday.
Barbell squats only. 10 sets.
1. 135 lbs. x 10 reps
2. 155 lbs. x 10 reps
3. 175 lbs. x 10 reps
4. 175 lbs. x 10 reps
5. 175 lbs. x 10 reps
6. 175 lbs. x 10 reps
7. 175 lbs. x 10 reps
8. 175 lbs. x 10 reps
9. 175 lbs. x 10 reps
10. 175 lbs. x 10 reps

I was feeling worn out on Saturday and Sunday.
