Todays last session of the week consisted of a lower workout. As I had a day of rest tomorrow I know I needed to leave everything in the gym as to make the most of my day off on Sunday.
First exercise was Front Squat, from looking back at my program the weight that I had been lifting has increased some 15kg from the first time I did it. Confidence of going deeper is now there and with performing reps of 12 under strict form has only excited me of reducing the reps and starting to lift heavier in the next few weeks. I have been aware though, the more tired I get my pelvis is tilting slightly which can cause all sorts of problems. I have tried to rectify this by resetting before every lift.
Just remember that changing the variables can have knock on effects within the set or later on in the program, but a good trainer never lives within himself!
Single Leg Step Ups and Single Leg Press were to follow, each on 4 set 8 reps each leg. By working with intensity and specific rest of 60-90 sec this workout enabled me to continue to push the barriers of working to my maximum.
Shoulders and back were also attacked to bring some focus on other muscles. When ever I have done split days before I tend to work 2 muscle groups to make the time spent in the gym more effective.

Andy
