During this workout, I trained my legs with the following exercises:
- Front Squats (5-6 sets)
- Regular Squats (1-2 sets)
- Leg Extensions (5-6 sets)
- Hamstring Curls on the exercise ball (both legs and one leg at a time)
- Leg Presses (4 sets)
- Donkey Calf Raises (3 sets)
- Sitting Calf Raises (2 sets)
I also (unexpectedly) reached new maxes on the front squat, the leg extensions, the leg presses and the donkey calf raises and in the video, I talked about how gains come when you don’t expect them to (as long as you put in the work to get your body ready for them). I also talked about how we perceive weight and how we tend to let pre-conceived notions dictate to us how much weight we can or cannot lift. It’s important to approach each set with only the expectation of getting the most benefit out of it. Don’t pre-program yourself for any specific weight, because who knows how much you can truly lift? Why limit yourself?
Hope you enjoyed the video!
