Oooooo, I'm impressed with leggie workout angel! 

Interesting leg workout, why you going high reps?

LONG ANSWER WARNING!
 
I've done heavy stuff since October now, that's 6 months of pretty much the same stuff... I've definitely begun to see more outer quad begin to grow so now I want to move to high rep to see if my leggies will play ball in getting some secret lineage in them now I've lost a wee bit of weight...

PLUS, I promised Carl I'd give his method a go, he thinks it will etch in some detail to my otherwise, uber chunky legs...

I had a long think about it and surmised, all the best BB'er's who have great legs, Kitty you included, used to do some form of distance running. Thus, carved legs are not only down to fat loss but also due to having more slow-twitch fibres IMO. So, if I train my legs so I can 'feel the burn' in a 'long-distance-style method' but with weights, then hopefully, when I do eventually decide to cut again, hopefully I'll have wonderfully shapely pins screaming to get out

In 2 seasons, no matter what my condition my leggies haven't altered IMO, I CAN'T get back on stage til they do... I just don't want to, they really let me down

Measured BF on Tanita scales last week, it was sitting at 19% but better than it was

Interesting concept and worth a shot. Yes, I used to cross country run as a teenager but I actually put my leg development down to when I started training in a "conditioning room" (basically a room with a mulitgym) in the local sports centre when they just started to be the in thing. I loved the leg press and used to over do it and was only about 4 plates from the full stack!! Half the men weren't even lifting that hehe!! This is the same place that had the lying leg curl that gave me funny turns LOL.....no wonder I have hamstrings too hehe!!

I've been training my legs since I was about 14, they were the only thing I could lift heavy weights with, so I did
I do put leg condition down to something more than weights, I sprinted as a kid, was rubbish at long distance, whilst I can't change the amount of each fibre, I can just 'batter' my legs into submission...
 
I remember reading something interesting on Jenny Garside, which basically said her legs always had problems coming in, so in 2007, she just overtrained them and the separation started to appear...
 
PScarb also recommended a similar approach, something to get the blood pumping in them, something which heavy weights never seems to do... Myweights are still as heavy as I can go in this rep range mind, I'm crying by the end of the leg press!

Today I left first thing with Carl and went to the gym.
 
Trained Back and then did an RPM class - my first ever! Then forgot protein shake d'oh! Had to meet a friend in town and thought I'd pick up something on the way (gym had run out of shakes too), a 15-minute walk then took 45mins in the rain - I was soaked! Not happy with Carl, he's lived here all his life and when I got lost and phoned him for help he was no help at all!

Not lost any weight this week, was surprised tbh as eating has been to dieting standards and I've done 120mins extra CV work that I wouldn't normally do... If I WAS dieting, I'd be about ready to give up now lol...
 
Instead I'm going to enjoy my tottie cross buns n easter eggs tomororw

Enjoy the treats Flick.
 
Hope the new leg regime works out
