Legs

Despite doing a deload this was an exhausting day. 1 the fact that it's legs on no carbs, and 2 I took my girlfriend for her first leg day, which was probably not a great idea lol. Low carbs does not make for a very tolerant teacher and I was likely too harsh with my criticisms and my demands for perfection.
