Monday 19th February Legs
This was my first session back after being sick for the whole of last week with flu. Felt like crap when I was ill but I was eager to get started again today.
Started with squats, ahhh my favorite exercise! I’ve recently decided to shift things up a bit by increasing my volume of work. I’ve been doing HIT for a long time and although I really enjoy the intensity my results have stalled.
BARBELL SQUATS
9 sets of 9 reps
HORIZONTAL HACKSQUAT MACHINE (narrow stance)
4 sets of 8 … 10 reps
SEATED LEG CURL
4 sets of 8 … 12 reps
LEG EXTENSION
4 sets of 10 … 12 reps
SEATED CALF RAISE
4 sets of 15 … 25 reps
These sets were not taken to total muscular failure, my goal was to achieve the volume of work required. I did a similar workout 2 weeks ago and my legs were trashed for about 5 days after. I enjoyed this session and felt great and surprisingly strong after being ill all last week. Got a great quad and calf pump, limped out of the gym like an old man. Love it!
Total training time: 65mins
