Have A Great Leg Workout

To get the best results from your leg workout, train legs on their
own day of the week. When training your legs, you're basically
working half your body in one session.

Training your leg muscles doesn't only work your lower half; it
actually works your entire body, increases your heartbeat and gets
your blood flowing to help burn fat and work your cardiovascular
system. If you're working out hard enough, you won't have any
energy left to train any other body parts anyway.

The squat is the mother of all leg exercises. If you were to do
only one leg exercise, it should be the squat, since it works
your entire body. The regular squat is a great exercise in order
to build your legs and your overall fitness level.

Thigh Exercises
Squats or Leg Press - 4 sets x 12,10,8,6 reps
Leg Extension - 3 sets x 10,8,6 reps

Hamstring Exercises
Lying Leg Curls - 3 sets x 12,10,8 reps
Stiff Leg Deadlifts - 3 sets x 12,10,8 reps

Calf Exercises
Standing Calf Raise - 3 sets x 12,12,12 reps
Seated Calf Raise - 3 sets x 12,12,12 reps

Water and Muscle Growth

by Dwayne Hines

Do you support your anaerobic training with water? Or do you view water
as something more akin to running and aerobic training refreshment? If
so, you are making a mistake that is holding your training back. Water
is the key element to insure training success – even for resistance
training styles such as weight lifting. In fact failure to adequately
support your training with water can lead to an injury.
