Day 38! Let’s get this leg day!

As you know, you’re supposed to be training till failure on most exercises as we are Training for hypertrophy in strength. You want to overload your muscles. Training legs is more than just growing your legs, it triggers testosterone and HGH to release into body which will help all muscle groups grow, so don’t wimp out on leg days. 

Make sure to watch the video description for the workout 

As always, remember that Workout is only as hard as you make it. If you get through all of the sets, and you’re not fatigued and your muscles are not exhausted, you probably did not push yourself deep enough into each set, and you may have chose a weight that was too light.

Make sure to read the descriptions of each exercise as there are more detailed instructions on how to go about doing the sets, drop sets, negatives, etc.

Usually levels 5-8

Aim for heart rate range: 120-130 BPM

Stair Master (120-130 BPM)

- Begin with dumbbells in each hand
- Step forward with one foot and lower down until knees are 90 degrees, rise half way, lower back to 90
- Push through front heel and stand back up 
- Work both sides
- MAINLY for a warmup, nothing super heavy

Dumbbell double walking lunges (warmup)

- Sit on the machine with the pad at the bottom of your shin 
- Extend your legs engaging your quads 
- Pause at the top and lower slowly
- REALLY MAKE THEM BURN BABY!
- First set is HARD SET…not til failure
- Next 3 sets are til failure PLUS Partials and/or cheat reps with negatives til failure

Leg extensions (plus partials & cheat reps)

- Begin with pads positioned on your upper back, holding the handles forward of your body
- Brace your midline and keep your chest up
- Eyes forward as you lower, sitting back and down
- Reach parallel and push through your heels to come back up

POWER BACK SQUAT

-Keep a slight bend at the front knee
- Come straight down until your reach shin height 
- Pull back up
- To target more Quad, keep your torso perpendicular to the ground
- To target more glutes, create a tighter angle with your hip (lean your chest forward  towards knee)
- This movement should be very difficult and very oxidatively tolling on you. 
- If it is easy, you aren’t going heavy enough


- First set is light and controlled or no weight at all and controlled. Go until solid burn
- Next set is til failure…I rest 2-3 minutes after EACH leg. (I need it) 


- Go til failure on both sides. I got 1-2 more reps each set on my right leg. Don’t limit one side because the other side couldn’t keep up. Go til failure on both even if the reps don’t match up. It’s most likely because the recovery time and energy expenditure, not because one is way stronger

Dumbbell bulgarian split squat

- Sitting in an upright position with your back against the pad 
- Pull your legs together as you squeeze the pads inward
- Once the pads touch, slowly return to starting position
- first set is flow set
- Rest of sets are HARD and pushed to limit

Hip Adductor machine

- Place feet so that only your upper foot and toes are on the platform
- With a full stretch I’m your calves, Extend at your ankles engaging the calves as high as you can in a controlled manner
- Return to starting position under control
- Focus on time on tension. Do not bounce at bottom either
