Did something completely out of the box today. Since i got some niggles with my knees i didn’t went heavy on legday today but did a gaint set leg workout. The pump was INSANE and i was gasping for air at the end of every set
I felt my quads way better then i normally do, i think going (too) heavy my glutes are taking over. Tomorrow i got a new check up with my coach, i’ll also let him now, maybe i’ve to adjusting something in my leg workouts to really isolate more instead of heavy loading.
The workout went as following:
4 gaint sets (no rest in between, after completing a full set take 2-3 min rest and repeat)
1. Leg extensions 20 reps
2. Lying leg curls 20 reps
3. Close stance 45 degree leg press 20 reps
4. Reverse v-squat machine 20 reps
5. Horizontal machine leg press 20 reps
After finishing of the gaint sets i did one more set on the leg extensions 15 reps with 5 sec holds at the top between every rep.
Stiff legged db deadlifts (slow and controlled)
3x15x40kg
Standing calf raises superset with BW Calf raises
5x10x50kg - 5x10xBW
