A leg up

1/2/07

One of my favorite leg exercises is the step up squat which in the past have used either a barbell or dumbbells as ballast. It somewhat like a Farmers walk exercise without going any place. The height of the box is key to the basic performance and the range of motion. 18-24 in box is best to get quad and glutis activation. As a bicyclist I prefer that exercise of off season leg work.
Box step ups. six sets of 10 with 70# super seted with free box squat at 20 reps.
Dumbbell curls: Six sets of 10 with 40# super seted with neutral grip pull ups.

12 mile bike ride with 6 hill repeats to start the season training off. That hurt and they were not long hills. Have to work up to 3-4 min repeats. two times per week for interval training.
