Leg Training

by: DannyStevens - January 24th, 2008

School has started back up but training and diet is still right on track. I had a 505 LBS deadlift last Friday which was awesome. If I can get up to 555 LBS raw, I might be doing some powerlifting competitions.

Here is my Leg workout from yesterday. The squat weight is light as I was trying to focus on good form and used them as a warmup for my leg presses.

10 min cardio

135 LBS x 18 reps (deep)
225 LBS x 8 reps (deep)
225 LBS x 6 (deep)

540 LBS x 8 reps
720 LBS x 6 reps
990 LBS x 6 reps
1,170 LBS x 3 reps
(+75 LBS for sled)

Leg extensions
45 LBS x 15 reps
70 LBS x 15 reps
95 LBS x 15 reps
