Jonathan: Thor’s Day Thunder (Legs)

Same as last week, I had to bump the Wednesday workout to Thursday, so maybe legs is just going to naturally evolve into Thor’s Day training. LOL! The thunder in my quads was deep…

Quads: Squats  (3×15,12,10 + X Reps); Leg extensions (2×15(10)—X Pause); Sissy squats (1×8(6)—X Pause); Hack squats (1×12 + X Reps)
Hamstrings: Leg curls (1×12(8)—X Pause; 1×10(8)—X Pause/wide + X Fade); Stiff-legged deadlifts (1×12(10)—DXO + X Pause); Good Mornings (1×10)
Calves: Standing calf raises (3×25,20,18—X Fade); Alternate DB calf raises (1×15(10)—X Pause + X Reps); Donkey calf raises (2×15(12)—X Pause + X Reps); Seated calf raises (2×15,12)

Note: My split is based on the Ripping Phase Routine in the Beyond X-Rep Muscle Building e-book.

Thor’s Day Thunder Summary

Looks like I’ll either be adjusting my Wednesday early-morning schedule significantly, or that might just become a midweek rest day. Leg work was great today, and the pre-workout drink I’m experimenting with kicked in right in time, although I need to adjust to the increased nervous-system intensifying. I wanted more weight and more reps, but my lungs were struggling to keep up with the rest of me. LOL!
