<p><b>Legs are key.</b></p>
<p>Strong legs are the key to a fantastic physique.<br>
My knee has been feeling good after my leg sessions recently so I am happy to keep moving up the weights when I can. I had some DOMS last time out which I haven't had since I switched to a plantbased (vegan) diet 3 years ago. I think this might have something to with not eating as many bananas as I was. I think I remember reading a piece about magnesium and DOMS and as bananas are a heavy weight in the magnesium category this might just hold water. As today was leg day I will monch my way through a couple of them and a few more to see if there is a difference in my DOMS. The fact that my diet contains lo inflammation causing foods such as dairy could also be a big factor in my ability to dodge DOMS. The experiment continues!<hr> On my workout days I get up just before 6 am I typically workout from about 6:20 to 7:45 this gives me a 10 min warm up and about 5 mins stretching on each side of my 1 hr 20 min session. I always feel like I could go longer but I think that the shorter more intense session works best for me. So on to my session. A little note to say I use Olympic a 7 ft barbell @20kg. On my rest periods between sets I will do some type of core work. I mean who doesn't love a plank for a rest?</p>

<p>From looking at the tables above I can see that I should  hold on some new weights and increase some others.</p>

<hr>
<p>Following my session I had one of my high protein smoothies as detailed in my <a href=https://whaleshares.io/life/@moonunit/fitness-for-life-a-workout-journal-1-back-day>previous post</a>. So I dont really need to go into that again. I Finally took my stats too. Body weight 86.5 KG, 36.6% muscle mass, 21.2% fat. I knew I was in and around 20% BF by how I look naked... Oh matron!I am happy enough at this BF level, and when it comes towards the summer I will push to lean out. Although as we are looking to move then I am not sure how I will do this just yet. But I will give it my all.   </p>
