So today was legs and biceps day. I'll keep this one pretty basic. Because the legs are the largest muscle group on the human body it makes sense to either train them alone or with a smaller muscle group like the biceps. The reason I choose to train my arms on leg day is because of an article I recently read on www.bodybuilding.com. According to the article, by training your arms on leg day you make use of and benefit from naturally elevated testosterone levels. The result of this naturally occurring test boost causes accelerated bicep growth and lets be honest who doesn't want huge arms?
My leg routine is pretty basic but comprehensive and it looks like this:
1.) Squats super setted with Jump Squats (5 Sets of 12, 10, 8, 6, 6 reps)
2.) Leg Press (5 Sets of 12, 10, 8, 6, 6 reps)
3.) Leg Extensions (5 Sets of 12, 10, 8, 8, 6 reps)
4.) Straight Leg Romanian Deadlifts (5 Sets of 12, 10, 8, 8, 6)
5.) Calf Raises (5 Sets of 12, 12, 10, 10, 8 reps)
*for each set of each exercise the weight is increased
Biceps are kept pretty basic too since I have a tendency to overtrain (trying really hard to avoid this pitfall). The arm routine went like this:
1.) Standing Barbell Curl (5 Sets of 12, 10, 10, 8, 6 reps)
2.) Standing Dumbell Curl (5 Sets of 12, 10, 10, 8, 6 reps)
3.) Hammer Curls (This exercise was a super set with the Standing Dumbell Curls and done to failure)
4.) Cable Preacher Curls (5 Sets of 12, 10, 10, 8, 6 reps)
*for each set of each exercise the weight is increased
That's it for Legs and Biceps day and man was it ever a great workout...just sayin'.
Keep posted for more workout routines to come!
