Drop Set Lower Body Workout

Today I ate fairly well. 5 meals instead of 6. All good and healthy but Meal 5 was a little larger quantity than usual. Tomorrow will be better.

My workout today was hams and glutes in drop sets:
Horizontal Leg Press - alternate leg jumps - 15 warmup, 75 x 8, 55 x 8, 35 x 8 (1 set)
Romanian Deadlift - 12 warmup, 105 x 8, 95 x 8, 85 x 8 (2 sets)
Straight leg deadlift w/ cable - 12 warmup, 62.5 x 10, 57.5 x 10, 52.5 x 10 (1 set)
Superset w/ Bulgarian Split Squat - 12 warmup, 20 x 10, 15 x 10, 10 x 10 (2 sets)
Ab curl on decline - 4 sets of 12 x 10

This kicked my little behind so I had nothing left for cardio. It was my plan but I couldn't muster up the energy for it. I was really wiped out. I don't know if I got enough food today. I was hungry all day long - before my morning snack, before lunch, after lunch...

Food:
Meal 1: 1/2 cup oatmeal, 5 walnut halves, 1/2 egg, 3 egg whites omelette w/ zucchini and mushrooms
Meal 2: same but 1/4 cup oatmeal, no nuts, 1/4 cup blueberries
Meal 3: salad w/ 1 T balsamic vinaigrette, 4 oz pork loin chop, 3/4 cup wild rice
Meal 4: 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 apple, cinnamon
Meal 5?: banana
Meal 6: rotisserie chicken breast, no skin, hummus, tomatoes, 1 pita

Gotta get to sleep fairly early! Tomorrow will be another great day.

Funny pickup line from the gym for today: I was supersetting as mentioned above and this guy and his friend asked if I was using the cable. I told them yes. Then someone else later asked them if they were using that cable and they said I was. Then they said I should put my name on it. I said it was already on there. Can't they read it? He said he couldn't read it. What is my name anyway? LOL! Good line and quick but not quick enough. I just had to ignore him but I give him props for his creativity and quick thinking on his feet! :-)
