Sauna yaps (Patreon)

Midday sauna means we can check in and make a longer form vid and just yappppppppp.

Today's been a heavier leg session and super pumped to say that I am at my 2x my body weight for my double leg press 🥹 The goal is 2.5x my body weight so 160kgs / 352lbs , so baby steps towards that goal.

Why do I need to go so heavy? Great question!

I'm training as an elite track cycling sprinter and all our power to sprint is from our glutes and quads (amongst other muscle groups, but these two are the most important). It's easy to be fast but to be strong and fast - this is the goal! So Today in the gym we focuses on legs - so Bulgarian split squats ( hateee them) , Double leg press ( heavy- so 125kgs / 275lbs), standing calf raises, seated leg extensions ( my legs were cooked by this point) . Then for core we do a little fav of mine, the Decline oblique crunch with a 10kg/ 22lb weight in hand. Most of our sets are 3x 8 ( or 3x20 for lighter weighted exercises).

So it's a meaty session and I can feel the DOMS ( delayed onset muscle soreness ) loading, so sauna was definitely in order for me.

I hope you enjoy my little check in and yap 🤣

Feel free to drop some topics in the comment section and I can do some longer vids of you x
