I had a question, I am almost done with the built program what do you advise I do next? Do I do your upper and lower body workouts? Or your daily workouts?

Great leg day. Staggered leg press is one of my favorites now

Big goal here is to get everything warmed up and work on some activation before jumping into our heavy movements. We are running through all the exercises then taking our rest.

Using a box height you feel comfortable with, grab a dumbbell in either hand or just use bodyweight. Bring one foot up stepping up onto the box close to 90 degrees putting most your weight on your heel to middle of your foot. Step completely up on the box with both feet now, once fully up step down with your alternate foot and repeat so you always have one foot up on the box.

Alternating box step ups

Stand on one leg with a chair or box behind you.

Hold your arms out in front of your body to help with balance.

Extend one leg out in front of your body.
Bending at the knee, begin to squat down on one leg toward the box or chair.
Do not stay seated, instead, lightly touch the box and immediately reverse direction and stand back up.
Repeat for the desired number of reps, then switch legs.

Single leg box squat (reps per leg)

- Raise one leg off the ground
- Push through your heel to raise your hips
- Engage your glutes as you lift
- Lower back to starting position

Single leg glute bridge

Big Tri-set warm up (optional)

Big blaster for the quads here, setting up for squats on the smith machine feet will be slightly more narrow than your normal squat, nice and slow on the way down (big 4 count) little pause at the bottom and a big drive up.

Smith machine narrow squats (4 count negative)

- similar to the placement of a single leg press
- Half of the opposite foot will be placed at the bottom of the platform.  This leg is only for stability and slight assistance.
- the leg your focusing on will be placed at about 90’ and will take 90% of the weight

Single leg staggered stance leg press

Absolute killer right here, using a small box 4-6 inches or even 2 plates stacked up, one foot will be slightly elevated while the other lunges back to about 90 degrees. Take these nice and slow really try to feel the engagement on your quads, glutes and hamstrings. Squeezing and keeping tension through the whole rep range!

Smith machine elevated step back lunges

Either body weight or weighted,
While walking forward complete a lunge, lunge and into a squat.

Lunge, lunge, squat

- Sit on the machine with the pad at the bottom of your shin 
-seat will be back as far as possible, while leaning back, those is going to allow a different squeeze in out quads higher up
- Extend your legs engaging your quads 
- Pause at the top and lower slowly

Laying back Leg extensions

- Press up using your toes activating your calf muscles
- Lower slowly stretching the calf muscles

Seated calf raise
