Leeds & legs

Sunday was a great day at the UKFBB Leeds qualifier where there was a112 competitors! Wow! The place was buzzing & it was a great atmosphere. Kay & I spent most of our time helping my good friend Karen Mariller (Showtan) backstage glazing the competitors after she'd tanned them. It was great to catch up with a few people & there were some great physiques onstage battling it out for a place at the British finals in 2 weeks.
We got home late & my usual Sunday night cheat meal was a XL Burger King bacon & cheeseburger whopper..oh & half of Kays which she couldn't eat :)yum.

Today was back to the drawing board hitting calves & quads with Bodster. As tired as we both were we were both really strong tonight. Using Musclefury's NITRIC THUNDER is a huge advantage especially on leg day. We hit seated calf raise, toe press & standing calf raise on the hack machine. We like doing them on here we just feel it on the calves more. Then on to squats where we both hit personal bests. For me doing squats has always been really dodgy due to my back problems & so ive mostly always done front squats. But since working with my biomechanics coach ive been able to do them pain free for the 1st time in years! We then did leg press, 2 sets, hacks ass in the bucket for 2 sets & finished off with a crazy burn on leg extensions. Bodster & I were on the Hizoos!! Killing it my buddy awesome sesh!
