I picked up where I left off on the exercises and weights, except for adding a glute exercise.

Quads: DB squats using a body ball against a wall,
finish with leg extensions
Hams: curls on a machine, finished with close step ups with 1 level of step under the platform, 20 lb each hand
Glutes: far step ups: 12x5 lb each hand; 10x8 lbs; 8x11 lbs; 6x15 lbs; 12x11 lbs. Will increase weights on Monday.
Calves: leg press, complementary exercise: angled calf raise

This was a challenging workout and the 1st time I've use step ups, so I purposely kept the weights low. I'm very leery of overtraining and prefer to start with conservative weights the first time I implement a new exercise.

Tired & sore tonight.
