WOW – Mondays workout 8/3/2010

Todays workout is a leg blast that’ll have your knees trembling and your quads quivering…!

Perform a 3 set pyramid of the following exercise increasing the weights set by set. Ideally, your last weight on the first exercise should be your first weight on the second exercise and so on…(Don’t worry, I’ll provide you with an example)

  1. Overhead barbell squats (e.g. 15 reps 20 kg, 12 reps 25kg, 10 reps 30kg)
  2. Front Squats (e.g. 15 reps 30kg, 12 reps 35 kg, 10 reps 40kg)
  3. Back squats (e.g. 15 reps 40kg, 12 reps 45kg, 10 reps 50kg)
  4. Tabata body weight squats*

* Tabata squats 8-10 sets of bodyweight squats 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds recovery. Rest 1 minute between sets and 2 minutes between exercises.

    Bloody overhead squats,
    If I don`t drop the bar on my head, I`ll be lucky.

    :-) No pain no gain Val – but maybe not THAT sort of pain!
