I do this as well, some days I find I progress farther than predicted others are dead on. But it works! It's like putting to paper little goals or promisses to yourself and then you go out and do them.

you're doing 250 on a leg extension? Holy Crap! Nice work! So if you're that high on an extension, why isn't your leg press higher? Not being rude tex, but curious that if your knees can handle that weight on an extension, it would stand to reason that the Press would be higher and so would the ham curl. Or are you working on getting rid of an imbalance?

That's with both legs on the leg extension not a single leg. The weight doesn't go up anymore on the machine so I'm going to stay at that weight. I think leg press is just on, but I will keep progressing and I will eventually hit it to where I don't hit the 5x5.

hamstrings have never been really strong, considering I just started hitting them at the beginning of this year.

Ok for weight I'm at 215lbs if I had to take an estimate, I stepped on the scale but I already had 3 meals that day and I also was wearing clothes, shoes, and was holding a full water bottle and it read 219lbs.

is probably 12-14%, relaxed I can see upper abs but I have a small sticking out just a tiny bit.

For conditioning I just get on the bike for 10 minutes after weights.

LOLZ @ u, why didn't you put down the water bottle!
What are you doing, 3x a week right now? Just thinking a 4th day of conditioning might be very beneficial for you. Sled drags, prowler, tire flips that kind of thing.

as soon as that starts to show, it's time to lean a little

can't increase the leg extension? even better get rid of it it's not doing anything for you really

you wanna increase wt? train the shit out of your posteriour chain, that's where the real gains are made

and yes add some conditioning, exercise bike is boring and shit so do as d suggested or add in some bodyweight / medicene ball circuits and/or finishers to your workouts
