Leg Bitchathon...

[Twin Peak]

I gotta tell you -- these workouts hurt but until week 3 of phase 2 I NEVER got sore. Week 3 I went REAL HEAVY and REALLLY deep and then the next 3 days hurt like hell.

Despite that my muscle tone has seriously improved though!

 

[nikegurl]

thanks everyone. hey TP - are you seeing equal improvement in quads and hamstrings or one more than the other?

 

[Erilaya]

I know you did not ask me NG but just for more feedback.. I am seeing more in my quads thus far but then again I have to take pics to see some progress ( I Hope) in another 2 weeks. I am really thinking I just was not doing things right the first few weeks. I mean I workout alone and I don't have a spotter nor anyone to critique me so I have to flounder around for a while to get my groove ..

anyway.. I think I will as I said before.. do another week over ..

anyway just talking or rather typing out loud...

Be Well

thanks Eri! my quads and hams both need work but i think my hams need more and i'm feeling phase 1 in my quads more than my hamstrings.....

i lack patience and it shows!

i'm not even through phase 1 and i'm trying to reach conclusions.

i better calm down and just keep doing legs as hard as i can!

PATEINCE, NG

It'll happen, you're doing great

 

[Erilaya]

Patience O my is not my best quality.. but I have come far and long in learning to attain it.. I am really trying to stop thinking that I should have results in only a few weeks. but I do "feel" slimmer!and I know my pants are starting be loser around my thighs.. yahooo..LOL.. soooo its a matter of HURRY UP AND WAIT.

Ann is o so full of da wisdom!! Thanks

Now if I could only follow my own advice

Its hard to "notice" the difference in hams unless your BF is real low and/or the improvement is significant, so -- I dont know. That said I thinnk the 4 phases are designed to target quads and hit hams from various angles and with a variety of exercises.

I'd not worry about it and when you are done, focus on hams if you like. The BEST exercise in my book is heavy SLDLs.

 

[nikegurl]

thanks TP. i think i'll be able to notice if/when my hamstrings improve.....know why? there aren't any there! so if i see anything at all - i've improved. i'm serious. no hamstrings at all. YET.

[nikegurl]

Hi Eri' - Thanks for asking. I'm feeling pretty good! Today I'm dreading and looking forward to legs both at the same time. I love it and hate it so much! I like it - we're lactic acid junkies.

Have a great day!
