Why would I disagree?
Because I thought someone was heavy into dole shole to regain one's youth and impress someone .... lol
But yes, seriously, I saw it myself recently. Was hitting the gym for legs twice a week.
5-set circuits of:
1) Quad extensions (15-12-8 rep weight buildup - peaking at 10 plates)
2) Hamstring curls (15-12-8 rep weight buildup - peaking at 8 plates)
3) Machine leg press (12-10-8 rep weight buildup - peaking at 150 kilos)
4) Seated Calf Raises (15-12-8 rep weight buildup - peaking at 52.5 kilos) - works the soleus (an important cycling muscle)
5) Plank (standard, no variations - 120-90 seconds)
6) Pelvic/Glute Bridges (standard x 15, and single leg x 10 each)
Later added Standing Barbell Calf Raises as well (25 kilos) to work the Gastrocnemius (that gives the classical "W") - but my form sucked. My gym does not have the machine with the padded shoulder bars ....
This routine was preceded by a 5 minute warm-up on the stepper or the cross-trainer .... and followed by a 15 minute stretching session and a 5 minute cool-down (lactate washout) on the treadmill.
I did this for a few weeks.
Then I tried body weight exercises at home ....
3-set circuits of:
1) Half squats (x 50)
2) Lunges (x 20 each)
3) Standing Calf raises (on a step x40-30)
4) Plank (standard, no variations - 120-90 seconds)
6) Pelvic/Glute Bridges (single leg x 15 each)
This routine was preceded by 5 minutes of spot jogging warmup .... and followed by a 15 minute stretching circuit.
The home sessions are way more tiring, you sweat a lot more and get a lot thirstier, and you can feel your legs tremble.
Need to add Clamshells to the above.
