The Workout
Start with this as your primary movement. Warm up with 2 lighter sets first.
Form cues
- Set the bar on your upper traps and unrack with both feet under the bar.
- Step one foot straight back and lower until both knees form 90-degree angles.
- Keep your torso upright and front knee tracking over your toes.
Finish strong — take the last set close to failure.
Form cues
- Set the bar on your upper traps and unrack in a split stance.
- Position your front foot far enough forward that your knee stays behind your toes at the bottom.
- Lower straight down until your rear knee is just off the ground.
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.
