Post by: jaejonna on June 08, 2006, 01:19:26 PM
Does anyone suggest you still go balls to the wall on leg day when your in the low carb/cuttin phase of your training. Does it matter , Im trying to get out the water in my thighs... any suggestions ??? How bout cardio before and after ..or is that too much.

Some sample workouts would help too!
I will seriously try them out and tell you what happened

Mods,

I don't know what you mean by getting the water out of your legs.

You need to be hydrated while cutting.

How far off is your contest?

Stick with your regular leg workout, unless, for some reason, you are going to failure when you train legs.

 Squats 4*8
 Front Squats 4*8


Avoid failure.

go as hard as you can on any training day.
how low is "low carb"?  if its below 1 gram per pound bodyweight its too low.
water in legs?
if anything its still fat (depending on how far out you are). 
Water doesnt need to be worried about until 3 days out from a show.
