legs on saturday. 9 weeks to go!
Every day this week I have alternatively trained abs or calves, calves are 3 x 50 reps or 5 x 8 reps standing and then abs are bosu planks - front and side and cable crunches, incline bench with db and floor crunches. I need higher calves for the show and abs are of course important, ’smallest waist wins’!
Yesterday I trained Legs and calves in the afternoon. I mixed it around as I was training on my own. I did front squats downstairs on the squats rack with 5 kg each side for 3 x 30 reps. My quads are definately stronger as I was able to hit the most reps in one succession than I have done over the last 3 weeks. Leg press was up next and I stayed with 3 plates a side of 16 deep, clean reps. I stayed with 35 kg on the lying leg curl and stayed heavy for 3 sets and dropped on the last set, then hit calves, 4 plates a side for the 5 x 8 reps. It was good and I was pleased with the session.
I have 9 weeks to go and my weight is already up, I am 10 stone 4 lb, this is the heaviest I have ever been. I know I am carrying more muscle and am bigger but I am sure the creatine is holding onto some water in my body. but at the end of they day, I will be bigger when I come to show time and heavier again and that’s the point.
Tuesday is next up for training day, bi, tri and chest.
