The Workout
Start with this as your primary movement. Warm up with 2 lighter sets first.
Form cues
- Hold the kettlebell at chest height in a goblet grip.
- Step wide to one side, bending that knee and sitting your hips back.
- Keep the trailing leg straight and foot flat on the floor.
Finish strong — take the last set close to failure.
Form cues
- Rack the kettlebells tight against your chest with elbows pointing down and slightly forward.
- Sit straight down between your hips, keeping your chest tall the entire time.
- Push your knees out over your toes and aim for full depth — hip crease below the knee.
Why This Workout Works
This workout is built around the principles of endurance training. Use lighter loads (40-60% 1RM) with high reps. Minimize rest between sets to challenge your cardiovascular system. Circuit training and supersets are particularly effective. Focus on maintaining form even as fatigue accumulates.
Training Parameters
- Rep Range: 15-25 reps — designed for sustained muscular effort
- Rest Periods: 30-45 seconds — short rest to maximize calorie burn
- Sets Per Exercise: 2-3 sets — optimized for endurance
Quads Training Tips
- *Squat depth matters — going below parallel recruits significantly more quad muscle fibers.
- *Elevating your heels on a wedge shifts emphasis to the quads over the glutes.
- *Leg extensions are underrated for isolating the quads after heavy compound work.
