Very exhausting, legs are on fire. The high reps and heavy make it a very tough combo! Love it.

MUSCLE BUILDING Lowerbody - Workout 3

It was very good, the short rest time made the burn a lot more. Just one slight concern about the squat press, I seen lots of people get injure their legs when they lock out every rep. Is it ok if I don’t lock out on those for the concern of my knees?

MUSCLE BUILDING Lowerbody - Workout 1

Liked the super sets,  just confused on what weights I should be doing. Should I be doing 70% of RM if I’m doing 12 reps? And for the Russian twists, aren’t the feet suppose to be lifted off the ground while twisting upper half. But other wise it was a very good program.

At first glance the split didn’t look too bad, but it was a hard session! Don’t underestimate this one

Very good workout, I like how the supersets are split. It’s kind of a push and pull idea.

So hard but so good 🤯 the super sets really kick in on the third sets - crazy pump
