Legs

After a busy weekend and unusually busy Monday with work, it was good to get to the gym today. It was a pump day, legs, back and biceps.

I always have trouble getting a good pump in my thighs, as years of field sports have made them quite strong and resilient to exercise. They do respond, and grow, but I never get that feeling of pumped muscle.

So today, I thought I'd drop in some additional leg extension super-sets with my leg press, dropping the weight once on the leg extension super-sets, going to failure on each set of the extensions.

I follow this by doing lunges, but rather than using a barbell at the squat station, I performed them on the smith-machine. I super-set these with no weight sissy squats to finish off my thighs.

Amazing pump tonight. I would highly recommend performing lunges on the smith-machine as this really isolates the thighs.

So I happily sitting here now nicely tired, with an amazing tightness in my thighs. Love it.

It always amazes me how so many people don't work their legs regularly. When I was in the North-West, this was frowned upon, The common nickname for this sort of guy was 'sparrow-legs'. They work on the theory that they can wear trousers at all times and so there is no point to working them. But they can end up looking top heavy, also they can never think about doing a show with such a weak body part.
