Why This Workout Works
This workout is built around the principles of strength training. Center your program around the big compound lifts: squat, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press. Use heavy loads (80-95% 1RM) with low reps and full recovery between sets. Periodize intensity — not every session should be a max effort.
Training Parameters
- Rep Range: 3-6 reps — heavy enough for maximal force production
- Rest Periods: 3-5 minutes — full recovery between heavy sets
- Sets Per Exercise: 4-6 sets — optimized for strength
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.
