Leg Workout...

[Citruscide]

BTW.. .do people do the same weight on Z-squats that they do on other squats?? I would think there would be a certain limit due to the hold?

Thats a good routine.

I dare you to try a heavy set until you reach 20 reps. People tend to say that this is cardio training, but thats not the case. You are retrieving muscle fibers you never knew you had.

You reach 20 using all methods possible.

This includes using the rest pause method.

After your set if you are not puking. . . .you didn't work hard enough.

You might be able to do more on zerchers(if you start at parallel only,as opposed to starting from the floor),but then again you might not.If you start from the floor you could do 3 warm up/practice sets if its your first time,to judge for yourself what kind if weight youll be able to use.I only tryed them from the floor once,and did 225 without really straining,but the negative was rough...maybe Ill throw these in my routine again

Yeah, I noticed that Clint had his back arched a bit outward... rather than the "usual" inward arch... that is ok right?

Bfold - I agree... I do need to add something to that workout... I was going to ask before my next leg workout, but being the fashionably early guru that you are, caught on to it.

Hold the bar in front, squat BACK, shins straight up and down...and let the bar travel where it may. Start with 135 and see how it feels. I take the bar about 2-3" below my knees.

Why add something on top of front squats? Honestly, it's all the same motion.

I dont know about everyone else, but to me, zercher squats and front squats feel a lot different. I feel zerchers more in the posterior chain, and front squats more in the quads.

That makes sense. I just figure if you're doing both front or back squats and a deadlift you've got all bases covered in terms of quads and posterior chain.
