Another Killer Leg Day

Why does Leg Day end up hurting more than any other day at the gym? Great workout but I did notice that these 5 exercises took the entire 60 minutes. I am starting to get concerned about my aerobic ability and that my strength gains are negatively impacting my endurance. This is part of the plan for this part of the training season but I don’t want to get too far behind. I expect to do aerobic (or as Bro Science calls it, “Eliminating Gains”) this weekend.

Warm Up:

Leg Routine - Do 1 set at ½ weight for ten reps to warm up and focus on form, then 5 sets of 5 reps each at max weight.


Notes / Results:
  • Time: 60 minutes. Last time took 40 minutes since I stopped before the Step Ups due to exhaustion. This time I got through the entire routine.
  • Weight: 197

  • Goblet Squat
    • Previous high: 90 pounds. Goal: 100
    • Sets: 80, 85, 90, 95, 100
  • Side Lunge
    • Previous high: 55 Goal: 60
    • Sets: 35, 40, 50, 55, 55
  • Forward & Reverse Lunges
    • Previous high: 16kg Goal: 24kg **I have been using 1 kettlebell and just figured out that I should use 2 of half the weight. Next time.
    • Sets: 16, 18, 18, 18, 18  
  • Step Ups
    • Previous high: 45 Goal: 50
    • Sets: 45, 50, 50, 2@55/2@50, 1@55/3@50
