Legs

Jeff Leonard on an Overhead Lunge

Today was leg day, and conditioning leg day, which means very challenging but still fun.

90 Travelling Lunges - 50 pound dumbbells (90 total steps, 45 per leg)

30 Front Squats - 135

Everytime you have to re-rack the bar, perform 10 air squats
4 breaks (40 squats)

2 Rounds for time
10 Squat Cleans - 135
20 Back Squats - 135
30 Jump Squats
Time: 21:22 (forgot to start timer till 5 Squat cleans were complete)


Part one averaged about 14 or 16 steps per set, so about 6 sets to get to 90 reps, not too bad, next time I'll do 100.  The front squats got hard on part 2, but the air squats didn't really slow me down much, sets went 8-7-6-5-4.  Part 3 was hard, squat cleans take your wind out and fire up your legs (in my case already hurting).  The rest was just time consuming and hard to do while I was trying to breathe and ignore my burning legs.  Felt great to get it done, all squatting exercises were hamstrings to calf, back knee touches ground on lunges.
