Leg Day Again!!!
Monday was leg day for me again. I started off again with walking lunges with 25# DB’s for 100 lunges. Next was good mornings, I haven’t done them in awhile, so I threw them in. GR8 for the glutes and lower back but one that you can really hurt yourself on if you don’t go light enough to keep proper form. Next was the leg press for 6 sets. 2 at the top of the platform with wide stance, 2 in the middle with shoulder width stance and the last 2 feet together at the bottom of the platform. The last position really hits that little muscle right above the knee and to the inside. Next was BB squats for 5 sets and finished up with leg extensions. My legs have that wobbly feeling inside so I know it was a good leg work out!! I remember several years ago when I was doing super heavy weight esp. for legs, were talking 10- 45# plates for reps!!!!! And not really seeing much significant change. I realized I was lifting like a power lifter and I was looking like a power lifter. Then I started going lighter, more reps and quicker tempo, in the begining, to lose weight and figured out that the pump is where it’s at! My body, esp. my legs, really started to show change. They became more muscular, more taut and more like the shape I was after. So now, even though I can lift heavy, I stick with a weight that I can use to pump blood to the muscle I’m working. Much better results!!!
