Todays session 07/01/11

Time for a leg session today, always one of my favourites.
Going back about, my god, 20 years! I had thighs that were approaching 28 inches and they were especially well built in the lower quad sporting a pretty decent outer thigh sweep which I was always proud off! They always grew rapidly but that was in contrast to weak calves that never seem to grow.
The result, legs that always kind of looked out of balance.
Regardless, I still get a massive kick out of thigh training and never understand people who neglect them, you know who you are, you're always wearing jogging pants and hogging the bench press!!
Anyway, on to today's session. I did the following:

Pistol squats. 4 minute window for both sides, resting for the remainder.
Set 1: Bodyweight x 15 per-side
Set 2: 12 kg x 12
Set 3: 16 kg x 10
Set 4: 16 kg x 9

TRX suspended lunges on a BOSU
Set 1: 18 per side
Set 2: 17 per side
Set 3: 15 per side

Body weight squats:
Non stop set for 5 minutes duration
120 reps
These are full range squats to maximum depth as are the pistols.

TRX suspended Hamstring runners.
5 x 1 minute sets with 1 minute rest.

Stretching for 20 minutes paying particular attention to hip flexors today
So, a solid session, worked hard and was well motivated throughout.
Oh, thighs now measure a more measly 24 inches, at least now my calves don't look so puny!!
