PHAT Legs....pain and agony

So glad to have tomorrow off for cardio/rest. My workout took about 1.5 hours, which lately has been taking a toll on me. I usually like to get in and out of the gym within an hour but because of the increase volume this has been difficult.

I think it comes out to about 7.5+ hours in the gym. That's not including cardio :/ Anyhow, I really want to be able to push my limits and see if my body can adopt. I can always go on a low volume/high intensity routine If I get completely burnt out. My objective right now is to eat as much as I can to recover and see where my strength/size goes. I promise I will do my best to get some photos up soon.

Leg workout

Speed Squats (light)- 280x3,x3x3x3x3x3
Front Squats close stance- 185x10,x10,x10
Leg extensions- 50x15,x14,x14,x14
Straight Leg deadlifts- 135x8, 225x15, 275x10
Leg curls- 95x15,x14,x12,x11

I think it might have been a mistake to do deadlifts because my lower back is so burnt out and I really want to hit a good PR next week on regular deadlifts. Anyhow, I wanted a good hamstring exercise and they truly are the best for that.
