Hitting the Legs... Again

     So, as another couple weeks has gone by since I significantly changed up my program- I am moving on to a new cycle.  Specifically I am going to train hard for some strength gains.  This means I will be using heavier poundages than I have in the past to achieve optimal results.  Just as Spring brings new life to the Earth, it is time for me to wake up the power that has been dormant within me.  I am going to use a variation of my High School program that ultimately earned me a top ten ranking in a state powerlifting competition and see how many goals I can check off at the end of the month.  Below is a sampling of today's leg workout- later this week I will upload my favorite bench program -it is almost guaranteed to add 10-20 pounds to your max if done correctly!

Happy Lifting!
