I didn't do Build: Legs because I figured all the squats and lunges I was doing during tennis and Pickle-Ball were more than enough to get a good leg workout. But, I figured I'd give it a try today since I had the opening in my schedule and it was a relatively short routine. Also, I didn't want to do incredibly heavy weights so I stuck with the lighter end of what I usually do with legs, or so I figured from my memory.
As you can see from the worksheet below, I kept it pretty light. The progressive set went up to 22 kgs. so not so heavy. Then 12 kgs for the Force Set, I figured it was pretty easy but I started to feel the need to push. Right around the second Progressive Set I was starting to feel the strain. As you can see, the weights were getting lighter and lighter as the moves got harder and harder. I was really dying on the second to last Super Set. That Alternating Side Squat really hammered my inner thighs. But before that, the Stiff Leg Deadlift was brutal. I used lighter weights than usual, but they ended up being almost too heavy because I was really trying to activate my hamstrings. And BOY did I ever. On the final Super Set, I did double of everything. Not only one side per round. On the Calf Raises, I couldn't make it to 50 reps, so I split it into two sets to get the 50 reps. The second set was sort of like the Breakdown set in ChaLEAN Extreme. Just a little more to push a little further. I did both right and left in both rounds, hence, double. For the Beast Abs, I didn't do the spelling backwards, instead I did a mirror spelling. It makes a lot more sense to do it that way to even the movement out.
By the end of this routine, I was feeling the soreness setting in already. I was really nervous about what was going to happen to me tomorrow and the Pickle-Ball. Would I be able to move at all?
In the end, I burned 879 kcals. Great work out which led me to the decision to keep doing Bulk Legs in the rotation.
