First leg sesh in ages!!
Today was the first time I worked legs in awhile. I can’t remember exactly when becuase it’s been so long. Anyways, I started off with leg extensions to warm up my knees. After four quick sets of those, I went over to the smith machine so I get the technique down. Warmed up with a 45 on each side for one set of 12, then loaded each side of the bar with another 45.
I once read in a magazine about hardcore, insane leg workouts that seem to never end. One of the exercises was squatting your body weight 20 reps for 10 sets. Of course, these types of workouts are only to be done once a month. I completed the 1st set with no trouble at all, getting the feel for the workout. My legs felt good at this point. Drank some water and stretched my legs out a little to get ready for the next set. Did that one, feeling it at the end and when I got out from under the bar, my legs were wobbly, haha. Now I was really feeling it. Then came the 3rd set. I struggled with the last few reps and could barely walk afterword.
Had to take a few minutes to get myself together because I felt like I was going to ralf. Took some deep breaths to calm down my stomach. Stretched out my legs and had some more water, then I put on my belt again. Everytime I tighten my belt, my stomach notices. Time for the 4th set and I knew I might die. After struggling with the last 10 or so reps, I thought I was in hell. There was no way I was going to be able to complete all 10 sets, so I had to settle for 5.
My legs felt like jell-o after squatting and I wasn’t even done yet. Then I did 3 sets of lying leg curls and then some calf exercises. My first leg workout in awhile was finally complete. Now I could go back to my dorm room and relax for the rest of the night. I’m not moving anywhere, haha.
