Leg Day (Workout #2) - "You got this"

Today the focus is on building strength in the legs. Very necessary for hill/mountain climbing and running through mud. 

Rockin the 10 core reps (sit ups, v-ups, elevated feet russian twists, etc.) in between each set and 10 burpees at the end of each cycle since my Monday chest workout was weak and I am rested after taking yesterday off.

Warm Up:
  • 50 Jumping Jacks (http://youtu.be/dmYwZH_BNd0)
  • 40 Body Weight Squats (http://youtu.be/QKKZ9AGYTi4)
  • 30 Crunches (http://youtu.be/1V4RXxLHNCY)
  • 20 Pushups (http://youtu.be/Eh00_rniF8E)
  • 10 Burpees (http://youtu.be/O7_TBHno0Os)


Leg Routine - 10 reps each set. Do 10 reps in a set and move up in weight for next cycle  - Do 5 cycles.
  • Machine Squats (http://youtu.be/H9cWGplpPrE)
  • Barbell Dead Lift (http://youtu.be/nFw69zIssgQ)
  • Barbell Lunges (http://youtu.be/0_9sJd9P8M0)
  • Straight Leg Dead Lift (http://youtu.be/N97yeNuDBcQ)


Notes / Results:
  • I tried to make time excuses for why I either would not do the core or to cut off after 3 & 4 circuits but I ended blocking those thoughts out, disregarded time (took a little longer than normal) told myself that "I got this" and completed my full workout. Good job self.
  • Machine Squats - max 10 reps @ 230 on 5th cycle
  • Barbell Deadlift - maxed 6 reps @ 140 + bar on 5th cycle
  • Barbell Lunges - Maxed 10 reps @ 85 on 5th cycle
  • Straight Leg Deadlift - maxed 7 reps @125 + bar on 5th cycle
  • Time: 80 minutes (longest time by 5 minutes)
  • Weight: 210 * new metric since I have 52 days to get to 200 for the Super Spartan
