3/21: Women’s Strength Training Workout – Heavy Legs

Today is Sunday and I did a heavy leg workout. I don’t think I’ll be doing that again. It felt okay, but Sundays are pretty tough workout days for me. Normally I’d just do a cardio workout since it’s Sunday, but this workout split I’m doing now is actually an 8-day split so it kind of screwed things up. I’m used to a 7-day split which is a lot easier to plan since weeks have 7 days!

Leg Workout

Leg Extensions

• Warm up: 2 sets x 20 reps, 35#
• 1 set x 20 reps, 70#

Squats

• Warm up: 2 sets x 12 reps, 45#
• 1 set x 16 reps, 90# (3 more reps than I did during the last leg workout !)

Lying Leg Curls

• Warm up: 1 set x 15 reps, 35#
• 1 set x 15 reps, 70#

Deadlifts

• Warm up: 1 set x 12 reps, 55#
• 1 set x 17 reps, 115# (increased the weight from the 105# I did last time)

Tomorrow I’ll be doing a steady state cardio workout and an abdominal workout.

I hope you’re having a great weekend!

All the best,
