Nick Andrade’s Body Transformation Log – Day 34 Bodybuilding Leg Workout
Objective: To Burn Fat Gain Muscle Mass And Transform My Body In 12 Weeks
Yesterday I headed off to the gym ready to rip into my bodybuilding leg workout with some intensity. I was pretty excited to get back to the gym and start working towards my goals after the weekend off. This week the Muscle Mass Advantage workouts are switching gears again and forcing me to train in the 4 – 6 repetition range for a decent amount of sets (6) for each body part.
I’m mot sure why, but I absolutely love to train in the 4 – 6 rep range. I start to get excited just thinking about it…I guess it probably has something to do with the fact that I can train heavy in this repetition range – especially during my leg workouts! The “hard and heavy” style of training has always allowed me to stimulate some serious muscle growth quickly, so I’m anxious to see just how it pans out during week 6 of my body transformation.
Week 6 Bodybuilding Leg Workout
Warm-Up:
Barbell Squat: 1 x 10, 1 x 8, 1 x 6
Work Sets: (rest interval 1.5 minutes)
Barbell Squat: 6 sets x 5 reps
Leg Press: 3 sets x 5 reps
Warm-Up:
Stiff Leg Deadlift: 1 x 10, 1 x 8, 1 x 6
Work Sets: (rest interval 1.5 minutes)
Stiff Leg Deadlift: 6 sets x 5 reps
Leg Curls: 3 sets x 5 reps
I was able to pound out 6 sets of 5 reps with 315 lbs for barbell squats and 3 sets of Leg press with 6 plates on each side. For my hamstrings I was able to perform 6 sets of 5 reps of stiff legged deadlift with 275lbs and 3 sets of 5 reps of leg curls with the machine set to #14.
As far as my bodybuilding nutrition plan goes,I decided to pretty much stick with that exact same menu that I ate last week. I felt like I had a decent amount of energy during the week and I really felt full most of the time. I was happy with the results, as I was able to strip off some body fat last week all the while increasing my strength levels a bit, so I just thought that it made sense to ride it out. There’s no sense in making changes to something if it’s working well for you – just let it ride and make the changes as your progress starts to slow down.
Here’s my bodybuilding nutrition outline for today…
- 1 cup of cottage cheese
- 1 cup of cottage cheese
- 3 cups of green tea
- 2 cups of cooked ground beef
- 3 cups of beef brisket
- 2 cups of cooked spinach (sauteed in a pat of butter)
- 3 cups of beef brisket
- 1/2 cup of walnuts
- 1/2 cup of cheese
- 3 eggs fried in olive oil
Well, that’s it for today’s body transformation journal entry. If you’re looking for a great bodybuilding leg workout and you don’t mind the challenge go ahead and give this workout a try. If you attack it with a sense of urgency and train with weights that are challenging for you, your leg muscles will get stronger and you’ll build some muscle mass in your lower body.
Your Friend And Trainer,
Nick

We are a group of volunteers and opening a new scheme in our community. Your web site offered us with valuable information to work on. You have done a formidable job and our entire community will be thankful to you.
The weblog publisher carries a selected skill to describe really advantageous topics. Reads the web page is unquestionably nice and there are certainly several common web site visitors. No surprise, whereas using glorious written content. In any case, it was a enjoyment to expend time on your weblog and study the exciting write-up.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
I love the theme here. Is it downloadable anywhere? download it! Thanks!

Hmmm. I should concede, I was scheduling on musing about this topic rather soon. You’ve forced me to fine-tune my arguements.
Easy! You are going to give yourself a stroke :p
I’m still learning from you, as I’m trying to achieve my goals. I definitely love reading all that is written on your blog.Keep the posts coming. I enjoyed it!
Sorry Therian, I don’t even own an apple product. Fagboy.. well I guess if not hating them simply because of the company’s attitude makes me a fagboy, well then so be it.
I just used two months of Big Commerce and had to cancel my account due to insufficient shipping features. We don’t inventory andything and drop ship everything. BC is not set up for this. You cannot set it up so products are shipped from different locations plus different shippers. Some of my vendors ship UPS, some Fed Ex and some freight. When I tried to set up the shipping for the Fed Ex products it wanted me to set up a Fed Ex acct. but I didn’t want or need one, my venor does the shipping. This is another problem. In addition, I’m an Amazon associate and sell quite a few Amazon products on my site. Adding to the BC site was difficult and took too much time. I never really figured out how to do it correctly and when I sent a ticket for help, they basically just referred me to the help forum, which was no help. I do like the templates, when I asked for help they were quick but BC just doesn’t have everything a business like mine needs. They said within the next year they will be adding shipping options, so I might try it again at that time.
