Still solid DOMS here but managed to squat ok.
 
Warmup was 10mins ride and dam did I need it...pretty cold start. Then a roll out.
 
Squats - worked up to 120kg for 4 sets of 3 reps. Felt good but no maxipad on the bar so weight a bit more noticeable than usual.
Rest of workout was 4 sets of hack squats (love these and we dont have hack squat machine at my gym), 4 sets of seated hammie curls, 5 sets of standing calf raises and 4 sets of high reps on the leg extensions
Short ride to finish. Gym was very empty this morning, less than 5 people there the whole time
 
Also a shot of the upstairs weight room at sky fitness. Pretty decent just a bit old school.
