It's been a few days since my leg session with Marina Cornwall. As I said in my video diary, it was a seriously hard session! But the recover has been good. After expecting a huge amount of D.O.M.S, I think I got off lightly. My Quads were in a bit of pain the next evening, but they then began to get better! Which is a good turnaround time from what I'm used to with legs. I'm putting that down to the fact my legs are finally getting used to the training effect, and the increased amount of protein I am consuming to help with both growth and recovery.
Here's what we did....
Deep squats 4 sets (final 100kgs x 8)
Leg press 4 sets (final 200kgs x 6)
Walking lunges 3 x 2 laps with 14kg dumbbells
Leg Extension (pulses on top half)
Calf raise super-set (Smith machine, 3 point calf raise, standing calf raise)
We had some stretching and massage though-out, utilising the PowerPlate.
