Hamstrings & Glutes – 12/4 (DAY 5)

Hamstrings & Glutes
-seated leg curl
     -superset with barbell lunges (step forward and back)

-stiff-legged barbell deadlifts
     -superset with jump squats

-lying leg curls
     -smith machine split squats

-one legged barbell lunges with back leg on bench
     -cable kickbacks

Calves (optional):
-seated calf raises
     -superset with standing calf raises
          -superset with toe walks
(repeat 2-3 times)

TIP OF THE DAY: Booty tip! With cable kickbacks, you can slightly alter the glute muscles you are targeting by simply changing your foot position. Keep the foot flexed (toes pointed towards your body) for the first half of reps, then switch to a foot extensions (toes pointed) for the second half. This will ensure a great glute workout!

I’m sure by now we’ve all heard a few million times what tonight is – THE VICTORIA’S SECRET FASHION SHOW! I read an interesting article the other day (will try to find & post) about how many of the swimsuit models, VS included, have photoshopped images to actually make the models look bigger and more muscular than they naturally are. I had mixed feelings when reading this article -despite criticism over photoshoping, I was pleased to see that we are moving away from this “skinny” image to one of strength through a toned, healthy body! I guess we will see tonight for ourselves! Truly, I wouldn’t trade my body for any of the VS models, and I hope none of you would either! Here’s an image I love that I find to be quite inspiring; in my opinion, the more desired body is a no brainer 😉

VS Angel:
-restricted caloric diet
-lots of cardio
-basic lunges, squats with little to no weight = “skinny” bodies

WBFF Diva:
-6-7 small meals per day with ample calories
-cardio and weight training
-heavy weights = toned/fit bodies

    Do you repeat this whole workout 2-3 times or just the last part? Also, how many reps/sets do you recommend?

    Thanks!!!

      I do 3-4 sets of all movements; the calf exercise (tri-set) was repeated 2-3 times
