This picture is perhaps my most awesome selfie ever, showing my powerfully built legs! Everything is built from the ground up, so a successful bodybuilding workout program should focus on legs! I have a fully equipped home gym, with 2 leg curl machines, a squat rack, and leg press-hack squat machine, and a calf machine, so needless to say, you know where my focus is when I work out!Often doing upwards of 100+ reps with 150 lbs. in the squat, I maxed out at 405 lbs. for 3 reps. I would also run, bike, I have an elliptical stepper, and treadmill. I can’t count the number of times people have stopped me, asking me how I built my legs
. In 2003, I traveled to the Rio Grande Valley where my mom lived, to visit.She has a cousin who owned a small gym in town, and told her I could workout there for free during my stay, so one afternoon I did just that. I walked in and immediately noticed that no one was working legs! There were many men with big upper bodies, and very skinny legs
.I went to change and came out, warmed up on a stationary bike, stretched out, then, headed to the squat rack. All eyes were on the long-haired stranger, in wonder of what I was going to do. I heard a few chuckles, but I loaded the bar with 2- 45 lbs. plates and started out. After a few sets, I loaded 2 more 45 lbs. plates….then 3 (on each side of the bar that is) …now, everyone was watching, I looked around and said “I’m just warmin’ up!” I kept loading more weights each set until the total was 350 lbs. (the bar weighs 35 lbs., so actually 385 lbs.).
I blasted out 26 reps on the last set!!! Omg….the gym was rockin!! That was it, I was finished, then it was on the do leg curls, and then calves. I put on quite a show for that little gym. People were comin’ up to me and shaking my hand, like wow! Mom told me her cousin said that not long after I worked out there, he saw more people working legs….yeah! I left my mark, “Work them legs!” Rindee
