I always got goosebumps during legs workout. Legs exercises were challenging yet effective. It was first Saturday of October 2017 & I was quite excited to do that perfect legs. I usually called Saturdays as “awesome legs day”
As soon as I reached Gym,
Shaad bhai told me: Sushant ji, we will do high energy legs workout today. Let’s start with inclined treadmill 10 minutes.
Me: copy that sir!
After doing 10 minutes incline treadmill walk a a speed of 12, I started with squats ( 25 reps, 6 sets). After doing first set, I realised I have flat feet & Shaad bhai asked me to remove my shoes.
I then resumed squats & completed 6 sets with 25 reps each. I then did Lunges ( with 10 kgs weight on each side, 3 sets). After having done squats & lunges, I could really feel a positive change in my squads.
It was time to get into something really challenging when Shaad bhai told me to switch to weighted squats. We started with 7.5 kgs on each side with 12, 10 & 8 reps for each set. However, while doing 3rd set with 30 kg weight, I could not do more than 5 reps. I realised I have to do more reps with less weight first & then move to heavy weights.
Immediately after, we started with sumo squats with 25 kgs & then moved upto 40 kgs. I did 4 sets with decreasing reps from 15 , 12, 10 & 8 reps. After doing these high energy squats exercise, I was feeling super enthusiastic & charged up.
I then moved to leg press, leg extension & leg curls & did 3 sets of 12 reps each for each exercise. These were really painful workouts for quadriceps.
In my next blog, I will share how I moved from basic legs workout to high intensity workout.
In case you wish to learn what it takes to have that perfect squads, please feel free to connect with me.
