After yesterday’s extreme focus, I was giddy with excitement about today’s workout, and it didn’t disappoint. I had some smoking stumps at the end, as quads, hams, and calves were obliterated. Good stuff…
Quads: Squats (3×15,12,10 + X Reps); Sissy squats (2×8,6—DXO + X Reps); Leg extensions (2×15,12 + X Reps)
Hamstrings: Stiff-legged deadlifts (3×12,10,8—DXO + X Reps); Seated leg curls (2×15,12 + X Reps)
Calves: Alternate DB calf raises (3×15,10,12 + X Reps); Donkey calf raises (2×15,10—DXO + X Reps); Seated calf raises (2×18,15 + X Reps)
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
Really, really good leg workout. Nothing exciting on paper, but strength and intensity were all up like yesterday, so the actual focus on working muscles was insane, and it led to some seriously smoking stumps as I tried to walk on them afterwards. LOL! I forgot how hard legs got hit until I had to walk down the stairs from my office. It’s always fun to laugh at yourself. Reps were all controlled/focused and very intense – almost to the point where I felt angry at my legs. They didn’t mind the rough treatment, though, as that’s the only way to get them to respond. Great one today.
