Leg day is my favorite workout. I’m trying to build my legs (more definition and a little bit of size wouldn’t hurt) but sometimes I get bored with mainstream exercises. So I’m always looking for ways to make my workouts more interesting and challenging.
This morning I had a killer training session which compelled me to share it with you;) I choose three exercises to superset (perform back to back with no rest in between sets). I started with a heavy compound movement, followed by a single leg also compound, and finished with a single joint to recruit those extra muscle fibers. The result was a massive pump and a great feeling of accomplishment.
Here goes what I did:
Front squats with barbell – 10 reps (put enough weight to keep the last rep very hard to finish).
Single leg squats on step – 10-12 reps per side (perform this exercise close to a place you can hold onto in case you lose balance. I used dumbbells for extra challenge but I can start with just body weight if you are new to this exercise).
Kneeling sissy squats – 10 reps (keep you hips and your back aligned throughout the exercise while hinging from your knees).
Repeat 4 to 5 times:)
