Did legs earlier today and what a beast of a session! Fancied a change from my usual 5x5 squats so I did a warm up of 20 kettlebell squats x 2, 10 double kettlebell squats x 2 then went into 5x10 barbell squats but these were deep and slow! Once all the heavy stuff was done I went straight onto trap bar deadlifts. 3 sets of 10 reps squeezing my quads at the top! THEN I had another thing in store for me, CARDIO! I had a tractor tyre outside with a belt round it and a harness so I could do some sprints whilst dragging the tyre. THAT IS REAL CARDIO, none of this running on a treadmill or on the cross trainer for half hour. This hit my quads and calves harrrrd after all the squatting and deadlifts! I then came back inside to do supersets for my calves. 3 sets each on the standing calve raise machine and then the kettlebell calve raises on the step.
These are some pics of my quads and of me dragging the tyre so you know what kind of cardio I do! And yes, I am wearing my HO HO HO christmas boxers!
