Hey Guys! How is everyone? I just finished my leg workout which was followed by some light cardio. I performed 4 sets of each exercise and still went heavy on squats to stimulate my muscles. However, sometimes when calorie deficient you might try raising rep range to about 10 - 12 as you will have less energy and squats are a very demanding exercise. The same principle applies to other compound movements which you should perform first (after a warm-up) in your workout, other compound movements include bench press, dead-lifts, military press or barbell rows.
Here is the leg workout I performed:
Leg Extensions 2 sets 12 reps (warm-up)
Squats 4 sets 12 , 6 , 6 , 6 reps.
Leg Extensions 4 sets 6 , 6 , 6 , 6 reps
Leg Curls 2 sets 10 , 10 reps
Cardio - 10 minutes cross trainer fat- burning zone.
"sets" means how many times I performed the exercise
"Reps" means how many times I lifted the weight each time I performed the exercise.
