Leg training was great today, but lack of equipment and options meant that it wasn’t the full-fledged routine we have listed in our MMX e-book. That said, it was still very good, with the exception of a little midback spasm that I’ve been trying to ignore…
Quads/Hamstrings: Squats (3×10,15,10); Lunges (3×10); Stiff-legged deadlifts (3×8,10,8) ss Sissy squats (3×8)
Calves: Seated calf raises (3×20) ss Freehand standing calf raises (3×30,28,20); Alternate calf raises (3×8,10,8 + X Reps)
Note: My current PowerBlock gym split is based on the Antagonist-Superset MMX Workout in the new e-book MMX Fast Mega-Mass Workouts–the Max-Muscle X-pansion System.
Summary: Doesn’t look like much once it’s all written down, but I was huffing and puffing, and my legs were baking and shaking. Guaranteed soreness tomorrow, and calves got really hammered, despite what doesn’t look like a lot of work. The varied rep speeds and tension times combined with short rest periods amplified everything, and it felt like twice as much work as listed above.
