Leg Day - Squating with the Big Boy Weights

The only comment that I will make on this workout is that I finally got to 135 doing squats properly which means that I used the big boy 45 pound plates. Call it male ego but it doesn’t feel like lifting until I use the real weights.

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 - 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.
