Think about climbing up the pyramid, reach the top (60 seconds) before we descend!
This is a fun workout mentally! I love the concept of climbing up then relief on way down!!
Remember go at a pace to suit your energy levels, weights you have access too and your flexibility & range of motion.
I hope you enjoy this awesome leg session!! Let’s smash this leg day!!
