Lite Leg Day - Still Working on Form

Kept the max weight down and kept great concentration on form. Glad that I did not go hard on max weight since There are some hip muscles that are aching now that I did not feel while I was at the gym.


I know that I am not impressing anyone with these totals but I am keeping at it every day and improving every week. I am getting to where I need to be.


As a finisher I did 10 Burpee Pull Ups. Again, not terribly impressive but it is the first time I did them and plan to do them more and more of them each time in the future.


Warm Up:


Leg Routine - Warm up with ½ weight and double reps, then 5 sets of 5 getting to max weight without hurting yourself. Unless you are getting paid to do this.

  • Time: 65 minutes.
  • Weight: 197
  • Squats *supposed to do machine squats but didn’t since I found this new world of barbell squats**
