I simply love training my legs and today it is going to be one.. a Hard One Infact!
Yeah I know how a lot of people specially men hate to train their legs but legs being the largest muscle group, you need to work them out without a miss and that too with great intensity.
Working these bigger muscles requires more energy, which means your body will been burning more calories.
Plus the lower body strength reduces the risk of injury, your balance improves, you will be able to run faster and for longer durations, you will have an increased metabolism, an increased range of motions with superhero efficiencies for everyday tasks - damn! Do you steemians need more reasons to not miss a leg day?? Hell NO!!
And for ladies out there.. who doesn't need a great butt.. haha .. so just stop thinking and go kill it..
So, here is my schedule for today (ofcourse after some warmup and the much needed dynamic stretches)
I generally tend to go for 4-5 sets of any exercise with increasing weights and decreasing rep rate. Glutes training could be an exception here as those are some really stubborn muscles and require more reps each set.
--- Quad Dominant --------
Back Squat -
I am still trying to increase my one rep max its currently 57kgOverhead Walking Lunges
Prefer to have a plate overhead.. works out my complete bodyHorizontal Leg Press
Really targets your glutes along. I find it a better version against the incline one. My One rep max : 140Kg
---- Inner thighs -----
- Goblet Sumo Squats -
Recently started with the goblet style. I use a dumbbell of upto 20kg
--- Hams -----
Reverse Hamstring Curl
Great variation over the seated ham curlSingle Leg Deadlift
This is my fav! I do it with dumbbells. It sores my hams for over a day
----Glutes------
Weighted Kickbacks
I love kickbacks. I keep finding variations in them. Today i will use the pulley machineHip Thrust
Gals you need to do this for sure .. My one rep max 68kg
----Calf------
- Standing Barbell Calf Raises
So, yes this is going to be pretty much my workout for today.. I am already impatiently waiting to commence my workout.. haha
Great Day to all! Go guys hit the gym!
