Can you handle this leg day??? Please only try if you are an experienced lifter with proper squat form. The workout calls for a front squat but a back squat is completely fine if you are unable to front squat without pain or with proper depth.
This is a piece of another ex-athletes training program, written by request. Each week focuses on a specific type of muscular contraction. This Leg & Shoulder day is part of the first Isometric week. Isometric contractions are contractions that occur when a weight is held in place, with no movement at all. So for the Pause Squat for example, an athlete would stop at the bottom of the movement for 3 seconds, then push through and finish the repetition. The Pause Singe-Leg Leg Press would be performed in the same fashion. Pause at the bottom of the movement for 3 seconds, then press and finish the rep.
Exercises in red are supersets. This means you need to perform them immediately after the exercise that proceeded it. If there are three(3) red supersets then you must perform all of them in sequence, including the initial exercise.
Please modify any of the moves here to accommodate your gym or your equipment!
If any of these exercises are unfamiliar, shoot a comment down below and I will get back to you as quick as I can! Or, a quick google or youtube search could probably answer your question as well if you don't feel like waiting on me!
I really hope some of you try this one out! Good luck and be safe!
