Legs 4/25/2025
I have been trying to rank today's leg workout compared to other leg workouts this past month… and I can't come up with a good way to describe it. There is no question that I destroyed my hamstrings and glutes. My quads were trashed too. The thing is, after the first superset for hams I felt like my hams were done, but I kept moving forward. It was a super stimulating workout. Here are the details:
- Superset: Seated leg curls + RDL: 3 sets. I went to failure+ on the leg curls, but just short of failure on the RDLs. This trashed my hams.
- Standing Leg Curls: 3 sets to failure+
- Lying leg curls: 1 set to failure+. Slowing in intense on this one with a focus on the squeeze.
- Leg extensions: 2 sets to failure+. I focused on hodling the top and as I move into failure, I added static holds and a slower eccentric. I added. some static squeezing after the set.
- Smith Squat: 2 sets to near failure .. maybe 1 rep short.
Still adding static squeezing after the set. - Leg Press: 2 sets to failiure. Maybe I was just shy of failure. Now my squads we destroyed too.
- Superset: Cable crunch and LP Calves. 3 sets.
I am going to struggle to walk much today but I am sure I will recover by the time I am ready to take a walk. No cardio post lift today.
