You know you had a good workout when your legs are still toast 2 days later. I worked quads on Monday and this morning for the first time I was finally certain that I'd be able to walk normally again haha! I haven't shared a workout on here in awhile and figured a killer leg one was a good one to post. If you're wondering where my usual Monday deadlifts are it's because I started a little bit of a mini cut the start of last week so I didn't do deadlifts last Monday or this Monday since it was a more hypertrophy-focused quad lift plus some more supersets to keep my heart rate up high. Once I'm back to reversing, I'll be doing more strength-based lifts.
So here's what I did on Monday!
For the smith machine lunge-lunge-squat, you do a reverse lunge on each leg and then a squat and all that equals 1 rep so you do it 8 times for a total of 1 set. For the leg press, it was technically 8 sets since 6 were with 8 reps and then I did 2 sets at the end with my max.
Also, for the circuit you're going to want to use lighter weights than you usually do. It was KILLER since I did zero rest and you do not want to compromise your legs for the box jumps because if something goes wrong with those (ouch) talk about a painful mishap. So I would recommend lighter weights that are still challenging but won't completely fatigue your legs that it would affect your form. The whole workout took me about 45 minutes and I cooled down for 15 minutes with some incline walking to get the feeling back in my quads lololol.
If you try this workout out let me know!
