This is my Monday fun. I do this in the morning 6:30am Before kids are up. Then I work whilst they get ready for school, then I take them to school. And have my training session with Tekiri I need to rest 60 secs between reps as my legs are generally very switched on and I feel it really powerfully. I go down slowly to the count of 1,2,3,4 & push up keeping the muscles under tension and my abs pressed tight against my back.

What Does Your Leg Day Look Like?

Just curious, so how about some sharing today? Here’s how my typical leg day goes:

⚡️warm-up ⚡️stiff leg dead lifts 3x12 ⚡️hamstring curls 3x10, drop set to failure ⚡️weighted clamshells 3x12 ⚡️donkey kicks 3x12 ⚡️fire hydrants 3x12 ⚡️weighted glute bridge 3x10 ⚡️three-direction calf raises (a la P90x)

Unfortunately, an ongoing struggle with patellar tendonitis is keeping me from squats & lunges. =( It’s a *huge* bummer, especially since I’m determined to build an epic rear-view. But, the workout above is how I’m getting by in the interim.

So tell me, how do you do leg day? Are you working around an injury or limitation?
