The Workout
Start with this as your primary movement. Warm up with 2 lighter sets first.
Form cues
- Position the bar on your upper traps (high bar) or rear delts (low bar).
- Feet shoulder-width or slightly wider, toes pointed out 15-30 degrees.
- Brace your core hard, take a deep breath, and descend by breaking at the hips and knees simultaneously.
Advanced movement — prioritize form over weight.
Form cues
- Cradle the bar in your elbow creases with hands clasped together in front of your chest.
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and brace your core hard before descending.
- Squat down while keeping the bar close to your body and your torso as vertical as possible.
Finish strong — take the last set close to failure.
Form cues
- Set up a box at a height that puts your thighs parallel to the ground.
- Squat back onto the box with control — do not plop down.
- Pause for 1-2 seconds on the box with your core braced.
Why This Workout Works
This workout is built around the principles of fat loss training. Maintain heavy compound lifts to preserve muscle mass while in a caloric deficit. Add supersets and circuits for accessory work to increase training density. Keep protein high (1g per pound of bodyweight) and prioritize sleep for recovery.
Training Parameters
- Rep Range: 10-15 reps — high enough to keep your heart rate elevated
- Rest Periods: 30-60 seconds — short rest to maximize calorie burn
- Sets Per Exercise: 3-4 sets — optimized for fat loss
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.
