Day 19:Legs

Here we go again, our heavier leg day! My goal today is to go a little heavier on leg press and stiff-legged deadlifts. This way, I’m hitting both the quads and the hamstrings with some heavier weight this week, keeping the work balanced front to back.

I can’t stress enough the importance of keeping good form throughout your whole set. I set a goal to increase my weight, and on my final set of leg press I felt like I was fatiguing and losing good form. So I decreased the weight a little bit and was able to finish the set with solid form. It’s okay to make these adjustments! In fact, it’s smart for injury prevention. Pushing yourself in the gym will cause fatigue, but if it starts to negatively impact your technique, you need to listen and respond. Train smart, everyone!
