VIDEO: Squat 250kgx5 and full quad workout

2/21/2016

0 Comments

 
Quad training went well today! I decided to put myself through a short but intense workout, focusing on only three compound exercises. I went heavy on squats (250kg/550lbs x5) and nasty volume on front squats and leg press (5 sets of 15 reps for both, with a rest-pause on the final set,  going as heavy as possible, with minimal rest).

I changed my technique slightly from the standard power squats, due to slight groin injury. So I brought my feet in closer and didn't quite go as low but ensured that I placed most of the weight load on my quads rather than my posterior chain (back, glute, hamstrings). It seemed to do the trick, quads fried!

VIDEO: Barbell preacher curls for big biceps

I love this exercise to isolate the biceps as the triceps are supported. No half reps here! I slowly extend my arms fully then concentrate on activating my biceps to raise the weight. When I get to the top, I contract my biceps as hard as I can, before repeating.

VIDEO: Squat 210kgx8

Happy with my quad training today despite a slight groin injury. To minimise the damage I switched from a powerlifting type squat to more a bodybuilding/hypertrophy style. I lowered the weight, brought my feet in closer, slowed down my descent and didn't lock out between reps to place more emphasis on my quads. Also, I didn't go too low today as to avoid putting extra pressure on my injury.  Nevertheless, it was a good session and I finished off with a few sets of hack squats and lots of leg extensions. Not many exercises but my quads were fried. Sam
