Legs legs legs

I have refound my passion for leg training the last two weeks, its been GREAT. Goal has been to make sure that when I finish and go to climb the stairs to get my bag out of the lockers- that it HURTS to do so.

Last night I decided to start with two heavy, low volume quad dominant exercises and finish with two lighter hamstring dominant exercises with higher reps. So I did:




1. V Squat- 2 warm up, 1 prep, 2 heavy sets


2. Hammerstrength Single Leg Press- 2 warmup, 1 prep, 2 heavy sets


3. Single Leg Hamstring Curls- 3 sets 12 reps per leg, no stopping


4. Lunge Trisets- see below





The trisets were a beautiful finisher. I was in a hurry by this time and my legs were already pretty dead so I grabbed the olympic bar in the squat rack and did 10 slow deep lunges each side, racked it and did 12 quicker reverse lunges aside and lastly 8 deep slow sumo squats- squeezing the hell out of the glutes. Rested for about 30 seconds and repeated another two circuits.





Its funny when I think back and analyse what I did and why cos when Im "planning" my workouts these days, its very much a few minutes thought process before we hit the gym and other than that a see how I go- re available equipment and how the bod is feeling. I see people walking around tightly clutching their personalised programs, waiting impatiently for equipment- I can't do that when I have to be in and out in little more than 1 hour! Just a matter of time though I think before people gain their confidence in the gym and know that they can plan their workouts themselves AND most importantly TRUST themselves enough to push hard enough!





Walking on the treaddie the last few mornings has been a very boring chore and I have reluctantly woken up with a groooan but... I do it anyway. :)





Train hard xx
