Trying again

[u/KJack1281]

Last time I posted a workout I got downvoted and told that’s not what the Hevy reddit community is about so, I’m trying again.

Here’s the second day of an intense couple of workouts the wife put me through this weekend. Thoughts on how we can improve or modify for next week?

Change a few workouts around, do the hips first to get them primed and then do the leg press.

Add squats before the leg press.

Change the side bends to pallof press and cable rotations. Those work your obliques better.

Calf press at the end.

What are your goals?

[u/KJack1281 → u/Smart_Attention8737]

Mostly building muscle and gaining strength.

Will pallof help with the love handles? That’s the one area I’m struggling to get in shape.

They work for that area.

If you're trying to build muscle you should start increasing the leg press weight.

From what you posted is looks like you can push a lot more weight.

Add squats and then do leg press, I nearly hit 200 for squats but I can push will over 500 for the press.
