Wake up tomorrow feeling like

Hell yes...plus I'm not working out today so I know I'll get some rest.

So like I mentioned before I'm training my friend. She's about 5'6 165 with problem areas being her stomach and hamstrings.

This is what I had her do on the first day. I never trained anyone before so let me know what y'all think of this for a leg routine.

Warm up: 10 minutes on stair master at level 6

Leg press: 10 reps with feet close 10 reps feet shoulder with apart and 10 using only her heels. Did 4 sets of that.

Quad extensions: 15 x 4

Straight bar Good mornings (20) super set with leg raises (20) x 4

Dumbell lunges (12 steps each leg) with body weight squats (30 reps) x 4



Standing glute extensions 3 x 20 super set with 20 leg lifts x 4

Abductor and adductor machine 20 reps each for 4 sets.

Let me know what y'all think, and what I should add.

how often are y'all hitting legs a week?

how often are y'all deadlifting a week?

i've been focusing on my lower body lately since that is my strength and my goal is to squat every single time i go to the gym. just doing 3 sets of 185 and working up from there.

i found this guy called 'the hamstring guy' on instagram and i want some legs like him

I've heard that the leg press and abductors machines are useless but for a beginner, I don't know if maybe it will benefit her. Maybe try doing the cardio at the end so she'll have more energy for weights? Or setting a separate day for cardio? Her stats don't look too bad but that's not knowing her body composition tho.

These personal trainers be on some bullshyt.

I just saw one with an older man, having him quarter squatting 95 lbs with his back rounder than an IG thot's ass implants... then they added more weight.

I don't understand why the trainer would do that instead of teaching him to hit depth, even if it were just the bar.

I haven't done a dedicated shoulder or arms workout in at least 4 years

I have not done a single tricep isolation exercise in at least 4 years

And yet they stay proportional to the rest of my body

Dude that works the front desk at my gym just put me on to this guy. That's actually why I made the "everything I've known about squatting was a lie" thread.

Definitely about to start doing more of his program to bring the quad definition out this summer.

People shocked when I tell them I'm 220. I still look fat to myself tho

Damn I thought I fukked up this week. Had some barbecue Wednesday night that put me ~800kcal over and then I had a cheeseburger last night that probably put me like 200 over. Still did cardio last night though. Should be back on point by Sunday lor't willing

I won't be renewing my gym membership. I've been with them for two years but the gym is not for me, I have to work outdoors.

I've been running all these miles on the treadmill and when I finally go outdoors to do two miles I'm practically dying. I know running outdoors is way harder but I should not have struggled the way I did. Basically that told me I'm out of shape and I'm not running enough to get any gains. These past two days I've been running outdoors on hills. Hurts like a bytch bit I'd rather be in the heat and gain something than waste my money.

When running on a treadmill you need to set the incline to 1.5 to 2.00..This will better simulate the uneven terrain you will get with outdoor running...Another mistake people who run on treadmills make is setting the speed to say 6 m.p.h and running at that pace for 30 minutes..You'll never make any true gains running like this,because your body will adapt..I promise you if you start H.I.I.T training on the treadmill ,and truely push yourself ...You will notice a big difference in the way you feel when you run outdoors and the amount of calories you burn....Hell I have to limit myself to H.I.I.T to only 1 once a week on the treadmill,because anymore than that and my body actually starts burning too many calories....

What's H.I.I.T? Never heard of it

What's H.I.I.T? Never heard of it

High Intensity Interval Training

Basically exploding with as much energy as possible for a short period doing a form cardio, then follow it with short periods of rest and repeat.
