Training Day Two Hundred Eighteen

I've been continuing the studies today as well as doing some grocery shopping for New Year's Eve. As you might have guessed, that date will indeed be a Cheat Day - and what a cheat day it will be. There's plenty of food and we'll be eating everything from Sushi to home made Pizza. A guaranteed success! But, now it's time to reveal today's quads and abs workout.

# Workout Notes:
There were some slight changes in the workout today which concerned both the quads and the abs portion. First change was on the quads, where the Leg Press machine had been removed. Instead, I decided to do 4 sets of Smith Machine Squat to Bench. Reason for the bench is due to my lower back issue. The deeper I go, the higher risk I have of accumulating lower back pain. The second change for the evening was on abs. I had to use a different cable machine and the weight calculation was completely different. Hence, the weights were pretty much halved (in comparison to the regular cable machine). Nevertheless, it was a good and solid workout, although, a careful one.
