Legs (Week 7)

Energy: Energised and ready to go
Total time: 1 hour 5 min (including 10 min warmup)
Cardio: 25 min brisk walk after breakfast


Began my warmup with a couple of sets of bodyweight squats to get the blood flowing and my legs loosened up, followed by four progressively heavier warmup sets of 47.5 kg, 67.5 kg, 87.5 kg, and 97.5 kg. After I knew I as thouroughly warmed up, I headed into my first working set of squats.

1. Squats
  • 7 reps @ 107.5 kg
  • 8 reps @ 90 kg
  • 8 reps @ 82.5 kg
2.  Barbell lunges

10/8/6 reps @ 60 kg

3. Leg extensions and hamstring curl supersets

15/12/10 reps @ 45 kg (extensions) + 12/8/7 reps @ 37.5 kg (curls)

4. Single leg dumbbell calf raises

15/12/10 @ bodyweight + 8 kg

5. Seated calf raises

20/15/15 @ 70 kg

Notes: Great workout, I really loved the pump I got from the supersets. In fact I was stronger on the curls than usual which was really interesting. I need to watch my form on the heavy squats, but it will be a while before I lift this heavy again.
