My leg training has been mostly successful for the past few weeks. However, as with all things it can get a bit stale.
Always willing to change, I once again shifted gears and came up with another knee-friendly leg routine.
What’s different? I didn’t reinvent the wheel or anything, but I did throw in two important changes with my tweaked left knee in mind.
- I went a bit heavier on most exercises. This lowered my rep range just slightly.
- I included some unilateral (single limb) work.
Here we go:
Routine A (rest periods are 30-60 seconds)
Standing calf raise 3 x 10-16
Single leg seated calf raise 3 x 10-16
Bulgarian split squat 3 x 12
Leg extension 3 x 10-16
Leg press 3 x 10-20
Dumbbell Romanian deadlift 3 x 12
Routine B (rest periods are 30-60 seconds)
Seated calf raise 3 x 10-16
Standing calf raise 3 x 10-16
Leg curl 3 x 10-16
Leg extension 2 x 16
Single leg press 3 x 12
Walking lunge 2 lengths
Dumbbell Romanian deadlift 3 x 12
