Keeping The "Leg Day" holy..

Back in the days, the dynamic band starts/runs were always a focus and a fun way to train.

Plyoman... Imagine, he did dunk a few times, even with his tiny hands :)

The girls always appreciated the squat rack, maybe a little too much...

Masochistic Much?


As I crawled my way up the stairs at the local YMCA this morning, I realized that with almost every step I was actually, if you can believe it, giggling. I haven't felt that kind of pain and muscular damage in some time.

It reminded me of my blind days when I was a 'youngn', you know training legs till I couldn't walk, then again, when we only trained legs once a month, these things were bound to happen :)

As you get older and realize that everything comes from the legs up, and only then you decide to pay a little more attention to them.

The "LEG DAY" for me, is almost always Sundays, and it is given a day of priority all unto itself, not like all other SRX style workouts, which combine body part strength/hypertrophy training , crossfit and conditioning.

The one problem with the leg day on Sunday, is if it so particularly brutal that it affects your training for the rest of the week... ANYWAY

The emotional attitude towards going into the gym, knowing you do not have to do cardio or some crazy drawn up conditioning program has lead to some of the most productive workouts over the years.

There's something to be said about just going in and giving sole focus to the legs that usually can bring out some excitement, even in the most dieted down of figure contestants/bodybuilders...

Tell a woman she is going in to work on her ass and legs and usually that would bring out the best in anyone... Telling them after a long week that you need to go in a do and hour of cardio, would likely yeild to my ultimate demise, via the vulcan dagger stare of death.


Tuesday's Workout

45 minutes recovery walk ( geeze, I was 3.0mph and 3 incline)

Then: ( Credit to Metz on this one)

50 pushups
50 kb swings (5o pounds)
50 crunches
50 DB Clean and press ( db touches the flor every time)
50 Ball Slam
50 Knees to elbows ( or reverse crunch)


Then
Shoulder Press 5-5-5-5
Push Press 5-5-5
Push Jerk 3-3-3

Javorek Shoulder Complex ( you need to try these)

Start with a heavier weight

DB Shoulder Press
Side Lateral Raise
Front Alternate raise
Bent Raise
Upright row

5 reps each, move from one to another without rest. After the set is done, do 50 crunches or floor wipers, then go to the next lightest weight and repeat. Keep going until you are torched. For me I was 35lbs, 30, 25, 20, 15 and I was done.

I tried to add some cable laterals, but it was fruitless.
