Leg Day Workout

If you follow me on Facebook, you already know that I just posted…

911

Well…I stuck to my word and lifted heavier than I ever have in my life!!

I usually never post the amount of weight that I lift, but I’ve found that when I see what another girl lifted, it always makes me push harder because I know that it’s possible (Thanks to Little B for the motivation you gave me today!)

So here we go…this is what my leg day consisted of…

Squats

squat

Three sets of 186 lbs. 10 reps

Walking Barbell Lunges

bblunge

Three sets (first: 30lb x 16 lunges, second and third: 4olb x 14 lunges)

Leg Press

legpress

Three sets (first: 230lbs x 10 reps, second: 270lbs x 8 reps, third: 320 x 6 reps)

The weight of the leg press machine is not counted in the total. I wonder how much that weighs itself?! Anyone know?

Leg Extension

Three sets (first: 100lbs x 12 reps, second: 120lbs x 10 reps, third: 120lbs x 10 reps)

Stiff-Legged Deadlifts

deadlift

Three sets (first: 95lbs x 10reps, second and third: 115lbs x 6 reps)

After lifting I did 10 minutes on the treadmill at an incline. I set the treadmill to an incline of 4% and a speed of 3.8mph for 10 minutes.

I feel great about my workout today!!! I set a new personal best with leg press, dead lifts and squats!!! BOOM!

  1. Do you find that you get faster results by lifting heavy? I just started LiveFit last week (for the second time, but I’m going to finish this time!), and tried to lift heavier than I’d originally lifted my first round of phase one. I’m noticing strength results, but not visual results. But I’m okay with that. 🙂
