I got invited to join Matt Lewis for a leg workout today, jumped at the chance as I do most of my training alone and Matt is about the same standard as me when it comes to legs.
The aim was for Matt to aim for a heavy squat PB and then half kill ourselves afterwards until walking became difficult!
Warm Up
25 x Bar (20kg) squats
Squats
10 x 110kg
10 x 150kg
1 x 180kg
1 x 200kg I failed, Matt managed
1 x 210kg I failed, Matt managed
1 x 220kg Both did 3 x partial reps (half way down)
10 x 150kg
10 x 110kg
Jump Squats
10 x 110kg
Overhead squats
5 x 70kg
10 x 60kg
Drop Set Squats (each to do the 3 sets on no rest and then swap)
10 x 120kg
10 x 100kg
10 x 80kg
Bench Squats (legs astride a bench, bum to touch bench)
15 x 80kg
Power Cleans
10 x 80kg - Matt finished here, 'done'
Straight Leg deadlifts
2 x 10 x 80kg
Cool Down
10 mins recumbent bike until HR below 110
That's the hardest leg session I've done for a long time. Struggled to walk up and down steps or even on the flat for that matter. Felt very shakey for half an hour or so after. Going to feel it for the next day or two...
