#NBC4EXPO #MASSweekend #Repost @kota_in_kilos ・・・ Lookit! My girls (and our new friends) did amazing yesterday. I could not be any prouder of @benchlike.betty and @nhiknee for killing their first meet. Thank you both for trusting me to get you through the day and (mostly) listening. It's been incredible to watch you both grow through your training and see the competition bug bite you. This was my first meet handling athletes and it's made me love the sport even more. Definitely looking forward to making that role a bigger part of my engagement in the community. ♥️ ----------- A big thank you to @abiyababu and @kaltess808 for braving the weather with us and being my backups when I was being pulled a bunch of different directions. You guys (mostly) listened, as well. 😂 ------------ Powerlifting is a family sport, y'all. I suggest anyone interested or just curious come out to a local meet and start talking to people. We're usually pretty nice... Even if we don't look it. The family I've built during my time lifting and competing is ever expanding and so incredibly supportive. If you are lifting and nervous about competing, sign up for a meet. You're never going to be "ready." You just have to go out and do it. -------------- #girlswhopowerlift #gwpl #girlswholift #powerlifting #singletsunday #liftheavyshit #uspa #platformready #uspapower #tysonsplayground @tysonsplayground @blackoutboxingclub @uspapower @uspa_east @nbcwashington (at Walter E.

i've been wanting to build up my quads because my squat is feeling a little shaky so i'm up to three leg days a week for the next month it's one quad focused workout. which was today. 1) warmup. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYSSSSS warm up your muscles. i just do 10 minutes walking or light jogging. 2) front squats are amazing for building quads and core. i warm up with the bar 2x20. - 65 lbs 2x8 - 75 lbs 2x10 - 115 lbs 2x8 -135 lbs 3x6 i went extra light today because my wrist was in a lot of pain and i forgot my wrist wraps. 3) leg extensions are my favorite isolation! so i'm not sure if everyone has this problem but i have a dominant leg. my right is stronger than my left and with a move like a leg extension you're pushing a bar up with BOTH legs. if you have a weaker leg your dominant is going to take over continue to leave your weak leg well, weak. so when doing leg extension do one leg at a time. R, L, R, L. something i also like to do one my last set is burn out with negatives until failure. - 5x12 each leg - negatives until failure w/low weight 4) seating leg curl. i do these the exact same way as i do leg extensions. one leg at a time, negative until failure. - 5x12 each leg - negatives until failure 5) hip abductors (ya know the ones you don't wanna make contact on) - 5x20 - drop set/ start at heavy weight and go until failure. drop the weight a notch and go again. 6) stretch 👏🏽 it 👏🏽 out 👏🏽 stretch those muscles and drink lots of water and eat lots of good foooooods. when i have huge sets like i did today i rarely go over 4 or 5 different exercises.
