March 29, 2013 Lower Body


  • Squats (cluster reps): 335*1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1
  • Bulgarian Split Squats: 95*6 115*6 135*6
  • Walking Lunges: 110*5 160*3
  • Romanian Deadlifts: 225*4 275*3
  • 56 lbs kb swings: 20
43 minutes

This is quickly becoming my favorite workout of the week.  I don't sweat much, ever, but when I do this workout the last few weeks I'm drenched.    The cluster set went well this week; 2 weeks ago my ab cramped up, no such event this time.  Got the reps in.  Moved to Bulgarians next, and even though clusters don't leave you feeling shot, you can definitely sense that your muscles have worked.  I'm intentionally keeping the weight lower on Bulgarians as I try to work on the form of them, but honestly I'm not sure how much higher I could have gone.   Threw some extra weight on the walking lunges.  These are really what did me in; I was feeling it from the Bulgarians already and then those things done right after just toast me.  Did some Romanian deadlifting after and just pulverized my hamstrings which were already fatigued.   Finished with some kb swings; I was so tired at that point that I think they started to be more of a lower back movement on the last few reps.  Great session
