    Leg day today:
    2x12x290 on the seated leg press, 1x10x310 as a follow up (to 90 degrees each time)
    3x10x165 on the leg extension
    3x10x145 on the hamstring curl.
    3x10x255 on the calf raise

    On leg day, I don't do any hills settings on the cardio bike...just keep to 30 minutes.

    I'll take legday over armday or absday anyday! Something about jello legs is way more satisfying than not being able to lift a coffee cup the next day. Lol

    Love my squat and deadlift days.

    Nothing like nailing your reps.

    I enjoy leg day because I have strong lower body. Arm day is a drag because I got weak upper body.

    Don't do a 'leg day'. Work some part of your legs every time you hit the gym. The death pain following leg day is caused by infrequent training. Think about it, if you are doing a typical bro split -chest, back, legs, shoulders, arms, all of your upper body muscles are getting hit at least 2x per week, so no one complains about a terrible day after any of the other days. However, if you try to fit all of your leg muscles (>50% of your muscle mass at least) into just one day, the next day is sure to suck

    "Leg day" isn't at least twice a week?

    Leg days are my favorite. I work them twice a week every week as well as my knee stability work to keep it going after the last knee injury. Am I sore after them? Sure. Do I regret parking on the 4th level of the parking garage since I'm horrified of elevators? Sure. Hahaha. But dang is it worth it. (My work has a gym and I park on the 4th level every day just for fun....). 20 years of hockey made me love leg workouts though.

    It's not leg day that I have a love/hate relationship with - it's EARLY MORNING leg days. Goodness, waking up at 5AM for a 2-hour session when you know you're gonna be upping weight all-around is quite awful yet it feels so good! Overall, I'm more of a fan of leg day than arm day. I have no upper body strength so arm/back/ab training is terrible.
