15 seconds sprints on Bike, 15 Reverse Curl, 20 Twists with 20kg Plate, 15 weighted Crunches.... Repeat 6 times, no rest!

So there is todays leg workout, the first exercise is used to stregthen my Vastus Medialis Oblique (VMO), this is the tear drop part of the quad. This is due to a structural imbalance but I do enjoy shifting the monsterous weight! also when you come to squat everything feels light as a feather in comparison!

Heels elevated for squats is to put more stress and focus on my quads as I will have a 'deadlift day' later on in the week to work my posterior chain, also to help improve a structural balance issue.

Bulgarian split squats felt brutal but I decided to go to all out failure on the last set and hit some pretty high numbers, this unfortunately means the weight was too light so Im going to have to up it for next time.

Calves were destroyed after 100 reps on each, I will train my Calves again later in the week with more weight but am always too drained after squatting!

Felt very sick after the sprints and abs....which is the perfect way to finish any workout!

Next up is Chest and Triceps.....
