Who Needs Leg Day? Uh ... Well ...

I do. Me. I need Leg Day.

We all do.

However more than that I need to protect my pins and joints for a little bit here. 25 years of bumps, bruises, heavy lifting, questionable form and throwing around grown men for sport ... well ... I wanna give my legs a break for a bit.

Not that i'm not training them. Just that I'm switching it up. Focusing on more of a cardio x-trainer and stretching focus for a few weeks. Ideally I wanna do this 2x a week, but given life and schedule hitting this up even once a week is often a victory in itself.

So, how does the week sort itself out then?

In theory this is the way i want my split to roll over the next 4-6 weeks.


Back w/Biceps

Chest and Shoulders w/ Triceps

High Resistance X-Trainer for 45-60 minutes (with Core and focused stretching)

Biceps w/Back

Triceps w/Chest and Shoulders

High Resistance X-Trainer for 45-60 minutes (with Core and focused stretching) ((only if able))

 

So we'll see how this plays out. I'm enjoying getting to hit my whole body 2x a week, with different focus on the major muscle groups. I feel pretty confident that by the time I get to the end of November I'll be wanting to slide the sleeves back over my knees and get the quads, hammies and glutes all fired up again.

But for now ... a Happy Little Break.

Hah. Break.
