Loading Phase: Week 3: Day 2 and 5: Legs

Third of four weeks in the "Loading Phase." This will push you to the brink of over-training. Important not to go too heavy or to failure. There's simply too many sets to get through. 41 sets of legs/calves today that looked like this:

Day 2 – Legs (Tuesday/Friday)

Superset:
Squats 4 sets x 10-12 reps (No rest)
Standing Leg Curls 4 sets x 10-12 reps (1 minute rest)

Superset:
Wide Stance Squats 4 sets x 10-12 reps (No rest)
Thigh Extensions 4 sets x 10-12 reps (1 minute rest)
Hack Squats 4 sets x 10-12 reps (1 minute rest)

Superset:
Adductor Machine 4 sets x12-15 reps (No rest)
Abductor Machine 4 sets x12-15 reps (No rest)

Superset:
Standing Calf Raises 4 sets x 10-12 reps (30 second rest)
Seated Calf Raises 4 sets x 15-20 reps (30 second rest)

Superset:
Stiff-legged dead lifts - 4 sets x 12 reps (1 minute rest)
One Legged Calf Raises 1 set x 15-20 reps (1 minute rest)

One more day (tomorrow) and then we get a day off (Sunday) before cranking up for the last week of the Loading Phase. Following that -- Growth -- hard, heavy, no prisoners.

Will be doing some of Growth at different gyms in the U.S. and will put up video of the growth training as we move along.

Train hard; diet harder.
