Normally I'd be doing a cardio workout today but looking at my schedule, I have tennis coming up on Tuesday so I decided to go two in a row on the BB's. Glad I'm not working out the upper body today, because my chest is really feeling yesterdays workout. Sore galore!

Leg day is always a killer, but today was even more so. Just straight legs is brutal. Right from the first move, I felt the pain. So here are my weights.

Single Set: Front to Back Lunge (5/6.25/7.5kgs). I've done this move in another program and I always hated it because the pain is present. This time was more so because of the progression in weights and rep count.

Progressive Set: Squat (17/19.5/22/22/19.5/17kgs). Oh my goodness! This was a pain, LITERALLY!!! I'm glad that Segi was picking up the pace because I couldn't have hung is the pace was much slower.

Force Set: Full to 1/2 Sumo Squat (19.5kgs). The first 3 sets were fine, but the last two were brutal, again, the PAIN was brought.

Progressive Set: Split Squat w/ EZ Bar ( 12/14.5/17/17/14.5/12kgs). The 3 sets without a break four times was again BRUTAL! Thank goodness for the faster pace.

Super Set: Stiff Leg Dead Lift (7.5/8.75/12/10kgs). To protect my back, I stayed safe and light. But I got a good stretch on my hamstrings. Alt. Side Squat (7.5/8.75/10kgs). Segi said to stay with the light weight, but I couldn't because switching back would have taken too much time so I just kept going up with the weight. Total for all three sets was 60 squats... BRUTAL!!! Got a great burn on the inner thighs.

Super Set: Calf Raise (10kgs). I went to 30 reps straight, then had to go 10 and 10 to get to the 50 reps. Beast Abs is a relatively easy so I had fun with it. I'm sure I'm going to feel it tomorrow. I hope it doesn't affect my tennis tomorrow.

I moved right to Abs, and I went right to Level 2 and did the 4 sets of 2 moves which were Plank on one knee for 20 seconds and switch knees, then 90 degree bent knee lifts for 40 seconds with 20 second rest between the two. For the second move though, I straightened out my legs a little more to raise the intensity. Then I did Level 1 again, but instead of Plank on my knees for 40 seconds, I did a regular low plank for 40 seconds. But I did the alternating bent knee raises as instructed. I got a great burn in my core!

Splits felt good today so I pushed hard until I couldn't take the pain in the hip flexors. Knees are holding up well enough. Got really low today. The Flow again, was clean and smooth. Holding at 60 seconds per set. Still planning to go back to slow to check my form. I'll have to get the Master Scroll out for that one.

After all the routines, I did a set of pull ups to keep up that skill using the Russian training technique I read about.

In the end, I torched a solid 950+kcals. Huge difference between upper and lower body workouts for sure!
