Today I got to the gym later than intended, and this meant the gym was a bit quieter, so my timing was pretty good.
Today was lower body day and my programme was as follows:
1. Elliptical trainer - 10 mins - 0.73km (decided to go a bit slower on the warm-up today - didn't want to exhaust my legs too quickly)
2. Leg extension - 3 x 12 - 10 kg
3. Lying leg curl - 3 x 12 - 15 kg
4. Seated calf raise 3 x 12 - 30 kg
5. Stiff-leg deadlift - 3 x 12 - 15 kg
6. Seated leg press - 3 x 12 - 37.5 kg
7. Back extensions - 3 x 8 - no weight (clenched my glute muscles while doing this one so it altered the exercise a bit)
8. Standing oblique crunch (with a kettlebell) - 3 x 12 - 6 kg
9. Crunches (with a kettlebell) - 3 x 12 - 6 kg
I think today's workout went well - I felt a bit stronger than I did yesterday. I tested myself with the amount of weight I put on the barbell when doing my deadlifts. Last time I did deadlifts I put 12.5 kg on the bar, so this was an improvement. I felt I could go a bit heavier, but I wanted to focus on my form and keep that steady while flexing the correct muscles.
