#lyinglegcurl

[mikealexandercpt]

While looking to ways to train around my current #golferselbow problem, I FINALLY got around to using the #seatedlegcurl, and I was left wondering what the hell took me so long to give it a whirl. I absolutely loved the strong, #concentriccontractions it provided me compared to the #lyinglegcurl. As it stands, studies show that, in comparison to the lying variation, the seated variation provides the ability to maximize total #tension, while increasing passive tension in the #biarticularhamstrings. So while there's nothing inherently wrong with the lying leg curl, I think I'm sticking with the seated leg curl from hereon in. To make it work for you, make sure you sit with your lower back flush against the seat. Position yourself so that the bottom cylinder is just above your ankles. Flex at the bottom for the concentric portion of the move and then extend the knee with a slow, 4 second #eccentriccontraction.

Front squats (3x15)

15 x 65 kg

15 x 65

12 x 65��

1 minute rest between sets meant I gassed out fast. The last set of 12 was so ugly, the front rack was giving way from fatigue so I missed the last 3 reps.

Back rack alternating lunges (3x12)

12 x 65 kg

12 x 65

12 x 65

These were OK, still hard but manageable. Way nicer than the front squats!

Back squats (3x15)

15 x 65 kg

15 x 65

15 x 65

Legs were fried and my butt was cramping up randomly. Was so happy to finish these sets.. It’s been a LONG time since I’ve done this much volume with these movements at this weight!

Lying leg curls (3x20)

20 x 80 lbs

20 x 70

20 x 70

Seated leg extensions (3x20)

20 x 30 lbs

20 x 30

20 x 30

Haven’t used these machines in YEARS. Felt the burrrrrrn. Bodybuilding throwbacks!

EMOM for 6 Rounds:

Min 1 - 5m Handstand walk

Min 2 - 10 DB snatch

Min 3 - 5 Burpee box jumps

Min 4 - 10 Plate sit ups

Min 5 - 8 Pistol squats

HS walk - these felt better than I expected seeing as I haven’t done them in weeks. Managed to get 3-4m unbroken on a couple of rounds.

DB snatch - 20kg. Hard, but recycled reps and completed unbroken.

Burpee box jumps - 20″. Reps were manageable, always had about 30 secs rest afterwards.

Plate sit ups - 10kg. These were good, core felt strong.

Pistol squats - legs were so wobbly from earlier strength work. Heels coming off the floor at times, but reps did look/feel better in later rounds as I warmed up to the movement.

#workoutlog020 Repetition is still the master of all skill. To see your progress you need to monitor your work and stress the details. I think its about time I put in the details. Starting with 5 sets (with the heaviest recorded weight) followed by the: WEIGHT, REPS AND RESTING TIME (in sec) 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Exercises #squat💪 80, 8, 30 #jumpingsidesteps💪 BW, 12, 30 #legpress💪 160, 8, 60 #lunges💪 25, 12, 60 #lyinglegcurls💪 50, 10, 60 #seatedcalvemachine💪 45, 8, 30 #splitsquats💪 50, 8, 30 30sec is okay on the split squats because one leg rest while the other leg works gives you about 60 sec rest per muscle. I love how my lungs get stretched doing this. 😂 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Next session I should rest 30sec longer for hypertrophy (building muscle) maybe go a little heavier ,but at least it helps with the fitness. I feel like dying on the squats each time I put on weight. I actually forgot to change the timer to 60 it was on 30 so I just went with it when I started to squat. And I think I should do an 1RM test every full moon starting with the 24th oct😂 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 #workout #workoutlogs #weeklyworkout #fitness #strengthtraining #weighttraining #legs #gym #exercise #staystrong #armourfitnesdespatch https://www.instagram.com/p/BpHA55dh75n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eiy3ofqc4mlc

Lying Leg Curl vs Seated Leg Curl Both the leg curls works on the hamstring muscle, the leg curl machine is the best exercise to directly develop the hamstring muscles. Lying leg curls work the hamstrings more directly than any other exercise. The leg curl isolates the hamstrings and works the knee flexion function of the muscles. During a seated leg curl, the hip is bent at 90 degrees—hip flexion and the knee can bend and straighten. That gives you a much greater stretch in the hamstrings.                      To know more, visit us at http://bit.ly/2oPQj9Q

#Effectiveness?? The chest press is far safer than bench press. As it uses the cables and pulleys and it is efficient in time. The only thing is the weight capacity is limited. Comparatively, in Bench press, the heavy weight lifting is not the limit but it is always advisable to have a spotter.

Exercises that you can substitute for squats if your having trouble or knee pains lifting heavy weights. Kettlebells are extremely effective when done correctly. #Kettlebellswing #stabilityball #lyinglegcurl #romaniandeadlift #minibandabductors #Probodyfitness

Grasshopper hard at work again! Due to a small hand injury of sorts I gave @ace.elite.33 his first full on #legday! We started off with the #legpress at 90x3x12, followed by #lyinglegcurls at 25x4x12 and we finished off with #seatedcalfraises at 45x3x20. Here's a quick tip on any kind of #calfraises: your #calves can handle much more weight than you think. Your calves are holding up your body; so if you weight 150lbs, your calves are holding up 150lbs, meaning you can and probably should start off your calf raises with that weight and start from there. Much like the legs as a whole, calves absolutely require much more stimulation to grow. #unitedinstrength #igfitness #certifiedpersonaltrainer #iamacpt #nasmcertified #nasmcpt #nasm #strong #strength #improvisation #beginnerstrengthtraining #letstraintogether #ificandoitsocanyou #nevergiveup #nevergivein #nj #newjersey https://www.instagram.com/p/BwekGHvjPYe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=188kr2rf3uzf6

#myworkoutlogs #workoutlog006 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 I remembered once my fitness lecturer asked me how many sets do I do on each exercise. I replied I don’t count the sets I count the reps on each exercise until I’m done. I don’t think she understood me. The idea is not to target how many sets per exercise you do rather then how many sets you do per muscle group in total. Example you could do 6 sets 5 exercises = 30 sets or 3 sets 10 exercises = 30 sets what really matters is the muscle groups and the volume, intensity and the quality you train at the end of it all. Its the same pudding just different sauce if you do a variety of exercises that targets the same muscle group. Variety helps to target smaller muscle groups ,but simplicity its better if you don’t have time to switch between 10 different exercises. I usually aim for 25 to 30 sets per muscle group when I’m building muscle. If you know how to use this info you will almost never wait for equipment in the gym. And do one random exercise once in a while stop waiting for the bench press for once. 😂 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 My workout for today: #sumosquat💪 #boxjumps💪 #squat💪 #legpress💪 #seatedcalvemachine💪 #lyinglegcurls💪 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 #workout #workoutlogs #weeklyworkout #fitness #strengthtraining #weighttraining #hypertrophy #explosivepower #gym #exercise #legs #armourfitnesdespatch https://www.instagram.com/p/BotLGANBoY4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yui5ypyu33eq
