Had an incredibly power-filled leg day!!! : )
I LOVE training legs.. By far my favorite training day of the week! I was getting bored with the usual stuff until yesterday.. I just got over this nasty sickness and maybe its bc I am SO happy I am not sick anymore or maybe that was my body resting up for this but really..yesterday kicked some butt!!!
I have officially returned to heavy weights.. I was going med-light/high rep for a couple of weeks but wow, I get bored SUPER quick with that. Tried plyometrics… there just isnt enough room in the gym for it and I have people who live below me who I am sure would not be so understanding.. Another time, outside..now its all about going heavy!
Yesterday’s workout consisted of:
Deadlifts
Smith Squats (love this thing when I don’t have a spotter!)
Bulgarian Squats (we have a love/hate relationship all the way here.. hate doing them.. LOVE the results)
Reverse Lunges
Step Ups
Lying Hamstring Curls
Hip Abbductor
Hip Adductor
THEN.. my phone rang and it was my good friend here.. (who mind you is not like me and does not live to train) she wanted to go to yoga.. and I love yoga so last night I did an hour and a half of power yoga in a room that was 104 degrees.. If you ever want to sweat hit up hot yoga. While I did think it was stretching me - I was also working really hard here.. so
This morning I wake up.. go to hop out of bed and every and I do mean EVERY muscle is sore! ; ) Mission accomplished!!!

I hit legs this morning. While I realize squats are the single best exercise going, I do NOT love leg day as my fav. LOL
Nice job bringing on the pain.
