this is probably the highest volume workout that i do, as far as total number of pounds moved goes. front barbell squats are always a challenge for me, i just find it very difficult stay on balance and in good form. spent well over an hour working legs today, Clear Muscle recovery is going to be much needed!

Oh man, when front squats get heavy I feel it so much in my core just trying to not fold in half! Nice work

[cory2731]

thanks....front squats are definitely humbling for me

after carbing out on friday and satuday, hit shoulders and abs yesterday. went hard on the seated dumbbell press and upped my sets from 4 to 6....felt good. ab work was definitely needed after all those carbs. ive been working on getting off the knees with the ab wheel and rolling out from the toes....very hard, but its getting there. into the home stretch with Clear Muscle, well into the final bottle now.

monday so it must be...Chest Day! lol i used to hate it when i was going to the commercial gym and my chest day fell on a monday. im not a very patient person to begin with and when id see people wasting time and equipment it would frustrate me to no end. this was one of the main reasons i invested in a home gym setup.

this is one of my favorite workouts. love the variety of both barbell and dumbells and flat/incline movements. CM continues to do its job!

Leg Day

warmups
Landmine Squats.....6 sets of 10
Seated Leg Curl..... 4 sets of 12
Leg Extensions.... 4 sets of 12
Barbell Calf Raises....4 sets of 15


im really glad i added the landmine to my garage gym.....such an inexpensive piece of equipment yet so versatile and effective. you can use it on just about every bodypart and it really does provide a nice option to the usual dumbbell/barbell movements. if you have a home gym id highly recommend investing in one!

Nice! The attachment that the barbell slides into? That's probably really helpful
