So here's a little, and I mean little taste of what a typical leg day consists of. Dumbbell squats with a 3 second count on the way down. Then use that same technique with multiple sets for more squats, lunges, military press, side raises, step ups and a lot of different variations of plank for core. INTENSE and leaves me drenched with sweat and a whole lot of calories burned.
My typical caloric intake on a day like this is about 2800 calories. My end goal is not a scale weight, it's a body fat percentage. I could always eat less and drop weight quickly, but I would be sacrificing muscle mass at the same time and would not achieve the muscular physique I'm working for. So I typically eat more on days that I lift weights and cut more calories on cardio and rest days. It takes A LOT of discipline to do this. I thank God for His grace giving me the strength each day.
So cheers (recovery protein shake) to working hard and eating right. :)
