Leg day is key to an effective work, as previously mentioned, the largest amount of growth hormone is secreted during this time to compensate for massive muscle repair and strengthening.
It is for this reason why I put it smack in the middle of the work week, so it can aide in the reparations of your ailing fibres from previous days, as well as keep a hefty supple of the good stuff for the remaining couple of days for maximal effectiveness.
Saurs, legs, do it:
Exercise
|
Reps
|
Bodyweight Squats
|
1x 40
(between every exercise to follow)
|
|
|
2x 12

|
|
|
2x 12

|
|
|
4x 40
|
|
|
4x 25
(Can be done holding a weight
plate for added intensity with reduced, slow reps)
|
Cardiovascular (Stairs
and/or Elliptical)
|
35/45 minutes
|
You will note I have assigned squats in between each exercise without weight, this is only to capitalize on the sore and pumped state of the remaining leg muscles, creating micro tears that promote protein synthesis and extra buildup.
Godspeed, Veggiesaurs, stay hydrated!
