Workout Log 59 – The Sweaty Leg Day
Core activation, actual weight lifted and free weights compared to machines. Yesterday – Thursday’s workout routine… I will be adding my body weight to my weights to keep track and to monitor my progress when doing strength training with free weights on my legs. It is a good way of tracking your fitness levels since I will be using the “FitNotes” app to track and log my strength training from now on. It is easy to lift 300 kg on the leg press try doing one legged squats with no weights it is much harder, because you use all of your body weight on one leg plus you use your body’s core muscles and other stabilizers or smaller muscles to keep you balanced while lifting ,which you wouldn’t have used while doing machines. Think of it this way when you do the leg press you don’t actually push your own body weight you push the weight on the machine ,but if you do squats you push your own weight plus the weight on the bar. I am not ridiculing the leg press or other machine equip
