Leg Day & Tabata Lesson

Day 2 of the Off Season strength training regimen which caps my reps for each set at 5 so that I can focus on increasing strength. Made great progress as I am finding that I can lift a lot more when I scale down the reps.

Also, I tried a leg focused Tabata at the end of lifting and quickly realized that was not going to work. Complete exhaustion set in quickly. Going forward, the Tabatas will have to focus on different muscle groups than the workout.

Warm Up:

Leg Routine - 1st set is low weight to warm up and focus on form. Sets 2 - 5 are for max weight for 5 reps each.
