today we're going to be doing one of my
0:21
heavier leg workouts first of all I'm
0:22
just walking up on the bike for a few
0:24
minutes and then we're going to start
0:26
with leg PS then we're going to go into
0:29
my heavy squats um to go to my heaviest
0:33
set possible and then we're going to go
0:35
on to L press with a TW drop set and
0:38
then we're going to go on to leg
0:40
extensions with partials followed by a
0:44
super set of lunges and then we're going
0:46
to go into Romanian deadlift so that'll
0:49
be our leg workout for today so uh come
0:52
and join me so what I'm doing now this
0:55
is my last step and my my heaviest rep
0:58
range between um 12 I've got failure
1:02
then I'm going to hit partials until
1:04
failur it'll be around about 16 to 205
1:06
after that then I moov on to the next
1:08
leg
1:30
2
2:29
make
2:49
that's it
3:05
so when I'm squatting I I warm up for
3:08
around about four to five different sets
3:10
my first few um warmup sets are around
3:13
about 10 reps um so I'm getting a lot of
3:15
blood into the muscles and then when I
3:18
when I warm up um even more with heavier
3:21
a heavier weight then I'm I have around
3:23
about five to six reps um just so I'm
3:26
reserving my energy for my last working
3:28
set so every single time I'm up in the
3:31
way normally around about 5 kg 10 kg
3:35
each side until I work up to my heaviest
3:38
there
4:29
up
4:45
so I'm trying to build up my heavy set
4:48
um at the moment um I've only been able
4:50
to
4:52
dogsi now I'm working up and I want to
4:54
do three PES side um but only a few RS
4:58
just trying to put up a Str for game
5:00
after the competition so um let's see
5:03
how many I can
5:28
get deeper
5:37
come on
5:40
control one more one more control
5:43
control
6:20
and that was
6:27
that we going on to Le bre I'm going to
6:30
be doing a rep range between 12 and 15
6:32
reps working up to my heaviest set again
6:35
at the moment my heaviest is six BLS a
6:38
side so I'll be working up to that um
6:40
but what I do I keep a log B so as I
6:43
know like last time my heaviest was six
6:46
plates a size now I want to work up to
6:49
you know um 6 and 1 half to seven plates
6:51
a size at every single time um I'm
6:54
progressing because at the end of the
6:56
day if we don't progress then we're not
6:57
going to change so you know I need to go
6:59
heavier than six ples a size today
7:01
simple really and then after that um
7:04
when I've done my heavy set I'm going to
7:06
do a triple drop set with that so I'll
7:09
take a weight off each side three times
7:12
basically so until I failed um and then
7:15

13:55
heavier rep range with it sometimes I do
13:57

14:48
doing we're doing my heaviest leg
14:49
session I train legs um three times a
14:52
week how I spill it up I do my heavy set
14:55

15:07
my glutes that area and then I have a
15:09
more of a glue Pacific day where I got
15:11
more like glute Bridges um glue kick
15:15
that kind of thing my wet range is mixed
15:17
up as saying on my heaviest day we stick
15:20
to more kind of heavy compounds um with
15:22
some drop sets um for a slight higher
15:25
rep range but then when I do my kind of
15:28
my glue exercises I have heavy exercises
15:31
