I have an ecto/mesomorph body type. I'm wondering if any of you girls have any new work outs that might help break my stagnant leg workout. I have an easy time building leg muscle with heavy workouts, then I'll go to high reps, and it eats away at the muscle in places-I never do seem to get the cut that I want. Lately, I've just been doing high reps all the time. I've been lifting a long time, and never see a change like I want.
I do cardio 6 days a week, lots of running. Now I do 3 sets, 30 reps each exercise, and I switch exercises every week. My diet is very clean. Attached is a pic, it's not very clear. Any suggestions?
Should I rotate out between months of heavy and light lifting?
Any help would be great!
Cut back on running and focus on doing more cardio with the bike or elliptical, try things like side lunges a little heavy and just squat, once you build your overall development in all the muscles then strict dieting should help you achieve the cuts you are looking for. My leg workout is almost always different, ranging from lunges to sissy squats to short hypers, stiff-legged deadlifts. I would definately say change the cardio though. Try spin classes!!
do your cardio (20minutes) first thing in the morning on an empty stomach! and wait 1 hour before eating breakfast. this will make you burn the fat. But I must admit that I don't see whats wrong with your pics? your hot Also keep in mind that if you do everything to get ripp you might at the same time screw up your menstruations. Your suppose to have a bit of fat! unless you are preparing for a contest or something I would stay as you are!
I think that 30 reps is far too much, even for a high rep workout. When I think of high reps, I think of 15-20 reps! When you do that many reps on a regular basis, you just keep breaking the muscle down and don't give it enough repair and recovery time.
I would also try some different forms of cardio. As someone suggested, spinning classes do wonders for the legs and butt!
I totally agree with imperfectly lou. 30 reps is way too much, the most I would do would be 20 reps, then decreasing rep and increasing weight (12 being the lowest rep I would perform).
I think your right thirty reps is way to much. If you want to keep some muscle cut the reps down & cut back on your running. Unless your eating some complex carbs running six days a week is gonna eat up some good quality muscle
