So I'm just doing a quick update after leg day... I trained legs yesterday and god they are sore now! I have been doing different kinda training couple weeks now to shock my body a bit cause I've been feeling like my muscles are not actually responding to my normal training lately. So my husband told me to try GVT ( German volume training) for couple weeks. It means I'm doing just couple main exercises for each muscle group but I'm doing ten sets of ten, with a weight I could do barely do 20 reps in a row. So example in leg days I'm doing 100 squats all together.. I'm using just 45kg weights to do them but 100 reps isn't still easy, and man I can feel it working. I've done this now for 4 weeks, after this week I will go back to doing heavy weights again and lower reps and sets, lets see if I can do heavier weights now, that would be the plan.
Today I trained back, but before hitting the gym I had to take couple pics of my legs.
They have always been the body part I'm quite proud of, I am trying to get a bigger butt though. After doing 10 years of figure skating my legs are quite strong. During those years we never did squats with weights just leg press and squats without weights, so squats were a new thing to me when I started training almost a year ago. Squats are amazing! My ass was so small earlier, it's not big now either but it's bigger, and it jiggles :D
Left pic is from May 2012 when I was 8 weeks pregnant and right pic is from about month ago.
So if someone isn't doing squats already, start doing them now, do low reps and lots weights! ;)
Well this was just a quick update now, I will write more of these couple times a week now when I've got this blogger app so it's quicker and easier..
Have a nice weekend you all!
