This is typically the routine I do for lower body and I hit legs at least 2 x's a week. I alternate hypertrophy/ strength each week. This week is Hypertrophy. For those who don't know what this is, here is a semi-simple definition: "performing an exercise and selecting a weight in which muscle fatigue is reached between 6 to 12 repetitions at about 50 to 75 percent of your one-repetition maximum." Trying to build mass here! 💪🏻

TRAINING

I ALWAYS warm up. Whether it be 5 minutes on the bike, and/or lunges and stretches. Super important.

Deadlifts

• warm up sets: bar: 115, 155, 175
• working set: 4 sets of 195lbs 10-12 reps

Straight-leg Deadlifts

• working set: 3 sets 10-12 reps 115

Leg Press

• warm up sets: 1-2 to working set
• working set: 4 sets of 235lbs at 10-12 reps

-superset with Standing Calf Rasie machine

• 300lbs for 10 reps for 4 sets

Total Hip Extensions

• 1 warm up set
• working set: 4 sets 75lbs for 10-12 reps
• superset with cable crunch

HyperExtension

• working set: 25lbs 4 sets for 16 reps
• superset hip abductors at 130 for 14 reps

Finish off with 20 minutes of hiit on the bike or sprints with some stretching and call it good. 👌🏼
