Glutes & Legs Workout

Today I felt super pumped! Just like how I feel on my Tuesday Glutes and Legs workout.

I added a bit weight for deadlift, 100 for 10 reps for my last set! Didn't feel super wiped out. Usually on Saturdays I always feel wiped out after deadlifting.

Hip Thrust- using 5 risers- awesome. I got up to 135lbs and didn't feel a single quad burn nor inner thighs. I suspect last time I didn't position my back correctly. Either way today's workout was great.

I managed to do 10 min HIIT sprinting 30/30 in the end.

Glutes & Legs

I had a decent Glutes and Legs workout. Energy wise was ok, not as super pumped as Tuesday though, but still ok.

5 min quick cardio sprint warm up
Mobility etc

BB Hip Thrust (6 risers)- hold top/ lateral x band walk
115lbs x 12 /15@each
115x 12- felt burn on quads
115x 12 -better glute force- post'n feet pointed fwd / 15@each
115 x 12-/ 15@each
125x 10 /15@each

Note: I had hard time getting my glutes in action, especially the last 3-4 reps where I could feel more burn on my quads. Funny I could do this with bench and with more weight on Tuesday (135lbs- same reps!) I had some video. I tried to adjust my feet more pointed forward to get more glute action. It helped a bit, but still felt super hard!

BB Back Squat
2x70lbs x 10- hard last 2 reps
70lbs x 11- pushed last rep
70lbs x 12- pushed last 2-3 reps!

DB Walking Lunges (hold 2 DB)
3x15lbs x 10- quad burnout!

Note: Looks like my right quad hasn't quite recovered yet from my Wednesday 10 min HIIT sprinting! Felt tight and sore so couldn't do much Walking Lunges without sacrificing form. I bet I could do 20lbs with 10-12 reps each leg if I'm in 100% condition. Definitely arms didn't give out nor my grips. My legs/quads did!

Leg Press (feet shoulder width- pointed fwd)
55lbs x 15
