That's hardcore, dude. I've gotta say one thing, though: I'm a little surprised by the leg extensions and curls. I'm surprised because I'd figured you for someone to do more compound exercises rather than such targeted ones on a big muscle group like that. Care to elaborate? |
Hmm...You know I am not really sure why I put them in there. More of a do legs everyday kinda attitude. Plus I have some serious imbalances from my quads and glutes to my hammies. I kinda also work this in at a circuit style. A little anaerobic. This might sound bad, but I f$$$$$$$ hate doing cardio. And im not a very intense person...so to supplement that I try to add in these fun little circuits, which aren't complex and I can just crank them out, get a good burn and feel like I did something. I'm not a good deadlifter, and I dont really like the exercise. Plus I get enough pull work from the floor on my 2nd tri plex day..
Another thing is that I do a lot of pushing/pressing with my legs..I.e squats so the leg curls are a nice pull, the extensions are kind of a opposite pull. My method to my madness is also on my upper body press days...Bench pressing, then kinda doing the opposite with t bar rows. I think this balance of pushing and pulling and almost reverse loading helps injurys
