I trained legs today with the 40 lbs Xvest. My workout looked like this:
Prisoner Squats - 3 sets of 10 reps - 30 reps total
Bench Pistols - 3 sets of 5 reps - 15 reps per leg - 30 total reps
Dragon Walks - 3 sets of 10 steps - 30 steps per leg - 60 total steps
Single Leg Calf Raises - 3 sets of 10 reps - 30 reps per leg - 60 total reps
I finished with 50 reps of Prisoner Squats at my bodyweight.
That is a grand total of 230 reps of leg training. 180 of them was while wearing a 40 lb vest.
I rested for about 5 minutes after I was done and was still short of breath. I decided to check my heart rate on the treadmill and it read 124 bpm.
The combination of the 40 lb Xvest and leg training are a great strength and conditioning duo. Especially if done with almost no rest between sets.
My workout log for the last 17 years. Every workout that I have done since February of 2007 is listed here. I decided to move my training log from a notebook to online and needed a name for the URL. I was training with mostly Kettlebells back then, thus the name - Kettlbellrob.
