Leg workouts always get me laughing at myself lately. They look like nothing when written down, yet my quivery quads were making it tough to stay stable during hamstring and calf work, let alone the journey upstairs afterwards…
Quads: Step-back lunges (3×15,12,8: DP 3X); Sissy Squats (4×8 + X Reps)
Hamstrings: Alternate leg curls (3×12 + X Reps); Stiff-legged deadlifts (3×10 + X Reps)
Calves: Donkey calf raises (5×50,40,30,20,12(10)(8)—drop)
Note: My current split is based on the POF MMX Mega-Mass Workout in the new e-book MMX Fast Mega-Mass Workouts–the Max-Muscle X-pansion System.
Summary
Much better than last week’s leg workout, as motivation and energy were at 100% again. Of course, that meant a heavy dose of quivery quads after the Step-back lunges. Legs felt hammered at the end, yet the workload looks so easy on paper. LOL! Got an early start today because of an unexpected and very strong thunderstorm that rolled in. Impossible to sleep through it, so I used all the electricity in the air to fire up a great workout. Well, impossible for me to sleep – no effect on anyone else in the house, so maybe the workout was charged with jealous rage while everyone managed to sleep through it all. LOL!
