Leviacake Week 5 (sets x reps x weight in kgs)

• Deadlift 3x155 3x175 3x195 1x220 5x10x155 (in 18 minutes)
• Technogym Leg Extension 8,8,9x90
• Hammer Strength Unilateral Leg Curl 10,10,11x80
• Unilateral Leg Press Calf Raise 10,10,13x90
• Machine Back Raise 10,10,11x90
• Machine Crunch 10,10,11x70

Notes: Great session. Single felt fast, while being just 5 kgs less than my PR. I'd be damned if I'm not much stronger. Did the 50 reps of FSL weight in 18 minutes, 2 minutes faster than last week with the same weight.
