I’m always impressed by how many different exercises you can tolerate in the same workout. I have to say five or six sets of four or five exercises, with one set being a warm up and the last set being a “pump” set, is all I can tolerate. You did NINE exercises in this workout and mostly five sets of reasonably high reps! So aside from your youth and genetics (which I fail to replicate miserably), what is your secret? You work like a dog, on your feet, then pull this off?! That’s really extraordinary. TELL ME YOUR SECRET!!

 

[Rusty]

You weren’t kidding when you said you were gonna be adding sets. That is a lot of volume. Keep kicking ass my brother!!!

 

[NeuroRN]

I have no secret! Haha I have to wake up and slap my inner bitch every morning.

 

[Rusty]

Inner bitch hahahahaha. I like that

 

[NeuroRN]

We all have one. Only way to excel is to slap it every morning and get to work.

 

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

calves and abs!

 

[Mossy1985]

I have to admit that I neglect abs.

 

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

it’s okay…
as they say abs are made in the kitchen anyway.

 

[Mossy1985]

Back when I was a runt, I killed abs. Constantly hitting them. So they’re there. I’m just wanting those Mountain Dog calves.

 

[Rusty]

Mornings huh? Well I do usually feel a bit bitchy when I first wake up. That must be my inner bitch I always had but never acknowledged it. .

You and those backwards walks and lunges… cripplers.

You get a good pump?

 

[NeuroRN]

Yessir. The backward walk is for knee health. Has helped a lot.

I usually just have to sit down/lay down after lunges.

 

[Poppy]

Yeah I was going to say walking out the gym funny!!!

I’ve heard that about those walks. I do TKE’s occasionally… not nearly enough probably.

 

[Poppy]

I’ve heard in the past that if you can spring step to your car sipping on a smoothie and texting/chatting after leg day…it’s a failure.

 

[NeuroRN]

Hahaha I look like a baby giraffe every time.

 

[Dirtnasty]

I try it from time to time wish I had a sled I could use for backwards walking

 

[NeuroRN]

The one at this gym is always in use so I just hit the treadmill

 

[NeuroRN]

Couple weeks in and I’d say we’re making forward progress.

234lbs today pre food and training.

Left leg still has some catching up to do after my knee being dumb for a couple months.
