legs.
Day three into the madness that I have committed to meant it was time to man up and have a killer leg workout. I have had the luxury since day one of having pretty strong legs. I attribute that to the fact that I stand 6ft tall, but claim to have about 4ft of torso. So in the small distance from my hips to my heels, I have been able to push a lot of weight, yesterday proved no different. I haven’t hit my legs with an honest workout for a few weeks, so I knew going into this I was asking for some potential pain.
I was able to put in a honest workout that left me walking slowly all the way home. It felt great to get back on the squat rack and bust out some deep squats and I was impressed with my ability to follow that up with a hard leg press routine that I capped off with 1 set of 3 reps of 450lbs. Weight like that the first day in has really set the bar high for where I should be, and want to be, in a few weeks/months.
I’ve been starting my workouts with a good solid jog/run on the treadmill. I find it gets my heart rate up and gets the blood flowing to my entire body. A simple 5 minutes at a high speed gets me into the zone and ready to attack the weights.
I know it is still very early days, and this is a long road, but I feel I am on the right track and I can’t wait to look back at these first few days and understand how far I have come.
