My First Leg Day Video!

I have 3 leg days per week, and I usually do the same 3 workouts each week, each composed of 4-6 exercises. I almost always start off with squats, and today, I did 3 additional exercises.

Mondays are my 5/3/1 squat days, which is a program designed to improve your 1 rep max - here's an article that explains it: https://www.t-nation.com/workouts/531-how-to-build-pure-strength. This workout was performed on week 3, which is the week you try out a new max, which I succeeded - 180lb x 2! I'm super happy about this. If this was week 1, however, this is what my entire workout would look like:

1. Squats - 3 sets 5 reps (heavy) 2. Leg press - 4 sets 10-12 reps 3. Leg extensions - 4 sets 8-10 reps 4. Glute push downs* - 3 sets 8-10 reps each side

*I have to correct my form a little here - this was my first time filming, so I finally got to see any mistakes I was making - I shouldn't be going so high when my leg goes up.
