Start with this as your primary movement. Warm up with 2 lighter sets first.
Form cues
- Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell at chest height with both hands cupping the top.
- Feet shoulder-width apart with toes turned out slightly.
- Squat down between your legs, keeping your elbows inside your knees.
Advanced movement — prioritize form over weight.
Form cues
- Press or snatch a kettlebell to full overhead lockout with the arm straight.
- Step forward into a lunge while keeping the bell directly over your shoulder.
- Lower until your rear knee nearly touches the floor.
Finish strong — take the last set close to failure.
Form cues

- 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 muscle building training. Use moderate loads (65-80% of your 1RM) with controlled eccentrics and full range of motion. Prioritize progressive overload by adding reps before adding weight. Train each muscle group 2x per week with 10-20 hard sets per muscle per week.
Training Parameters
- Rep Range: 8-12 reps — the hypertrophy sweet spot for maximum muscle growth
- Rest Periods: 60-90 seconds — long enough for quality reps, short enough for metabolic stress
- Sets Per Exercise: 3-4 sets — optimized for muscle building
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.
