What does your leg routine look like?

[baseball4747]

My leg routine is pretty short since im doing a lot of eliptical and running out side of the gym but here it is:

I start off doing the eliptical for 10 minutes just to get loose
leg press
360x15
450x10
540x8
540x8
then i burn out on 450

leg extensions (i do this light since i hear it was bad for your knees)
110x12
110x12
110x12

hamstring curls
110x12
110x12
110x12

calf pushes on the leg press machine
540x30
540x30
540x30

i finish all of this off with lunges with 30 pounds in each hand i walk up and down the entire gym till i can barely walk usually.

Then i ride the bike at about 15 mphs for 8-10 minutes and then walk for 10 minutes at 2.5 mph just to cool down.
I do my stretching routine after all of this.


There you go if you know of anything that might be good to add to this please tell me cause im always trying to find new things that i like. Thanks

[baseball4747]

Today i got 225 on flat bench eight times instead of six and then i did another one but got a lot of assitance from the guy who was spotting me.

[baseball4747]

Today i felt really bad doing back and bi's but i was still doing the normal wieght everything wasnt there for some reason. I also Lost 4 pounds yesterday but gained 2 back today i dont understand that at all.

Hey man! Welcome!
Tell us something about yourself!!!

What's your favourite sport!?!?!?

[baseball4747]

Well my favorite sport is baseball. I'm trying to lose the about 20 pounds for baseball to be in better shape for next season. But right now im not really doing to well at it. I dont really know much about lifting wieghts and all of the calories and stuff and im trying to find answers so i can reach my goal.

So if anyone knows anything that will help me reach my goal of losing the wieght i would be very thankful for the help. Thanks

[PizDoff]

yesterday i ran out of time to post on here but i did work out and did the normal wieght that i usually do. Today i did normal but felt very good. Im not losing any wieght according to the scale and i dont understand why i have cut back cardio some to only 400 calories a day and im eating 2100 calories. It just doesnt make sense to me.
