Day 2: Lower body

First; Couple of pictures so I have something to compare with after this period. Will also do fat-caliper measurements and tape-measure my chest, shoulders, waistline and thigh.






Today my students got to practice swimming crawl so I got two sprints in; 50 meter crawl and 50 meter breast. Man, swimming is hard! I will probably use the pool for many of my Wednesday sessions (my cardio day).



The workout plan I have now is a upper-/lower body split based on the same principals as my last program (one activation set followed by 10-15reps spread out over 4+ sets with short rest periods between sets. Got the idea from Borge Fagerli over at http://www.myorevolution.com/ , great guy, great site, excellent articles! They are in Norwegian but I am sure he will translate them eventually.).



Yesterday was a upperbody day, today my lower body got to work. There are also some extra exercises for my arms on the lower body days.

Hi, on the split squat you've got the front leg on a plate, why?

If I may ask;)

Nice lifts.

Hello! I keep my front leg on a plate to get a little more range of motion. The way I have it set up there is about identical to how low I go when I do regular squats - knee paralell to the hip creese.

Thanks for the comment!
