Warm Up! 🔥

- I’m not a fan of “ass to the grass” squats. Especially if we are just looking for maximal activation under minimal risk.
- Avoid a posterior pelvic tilt (better known as a butt wink) at the bottom of your squats. This differs from person to person.
- For me personally, going lower than 90 degrees is when I notice my “butt wink” so I always try to control my moves and stop before that!
- Brace your core before every rep to keep you tight and give you more stability!

Barbell Squats

- Pause at the bottom for 5 honest seconds.
- Keep your knees drove out and really think about placing all the tension in your legs as you complete the pause.

Barbell Paused Squats (5 Second Pause)

- 3 Second negatives, 3 second positives.
- Control the weights for 3 seconds on the way down.
- Control the weights for 3 seconds on the way up. Don’t just explode to the top.
- Keep your Core braced at all times and your knees out.

Tempo Barbell Squats (3:0:3:0)

- Feet inside shoulder width.
- Pressure on your heels and outsides of your feet.
- Brace your core as you slowly lower the weight down into a stretch. 
- Make sure you don’t go too deep and that your butt doesn’t “roll up” in the bottom of the movement. 
- Do not lock out your knees at the top.

Narrow Stance Leg Press

- Point your toes towards the ceiling.
- Keep your butt pressed to the bench and don’t let It come off.
- Slowly lower the weight into a complete stretch without letting the weight rest at the bottom.
- Explosively drive the weight up into a full contraction.

Leg Extensions

Quad Compound Set #1

*3 Second Negatives*

- Feet are inside shoulder width. Heels slightly pointed in, toes out.
- Try not to rest at the top and keep the reps consistent and moving.
- You should feel your quads BURNING on this one!

Narrow Stance Hack Squats

FINISH THEM OFF!

- Take big steps out in front of you.
- Press through the heel of your front foot on each step.
- Use your hamstrings/glutes to advance you forward and squeeze hard at the top.
