I loveee this one. If I’m unsure what to do on leg day, I repeat this one. It’s such a great full leg workout.

Try to increase weight each set on leg extensions, squats, and leg press.

Pre-exhaust legs and try to increase weight every set. 

Dropset set 3 and 4. For example 14 leg extensions drop weight and do to failure (about 10).

For hamstring curls set 3 do 10 reps and drop weight and do reps until failure (about 5).

GOAL
Pre-exhaust those legs before heavy squats and/or build the ‘tear drop’ look without too many tears of pain #JkItHurts

DETAILS
1. Begin in a seated position on the leg extension machine. Knees are just off the edge of the seat.
2. Weight pad is resting above ankles.
3. Use the quadriceps to extend your legs fully as you exhale. 
4. Inhale on the negative and go down slowly if you a real savage. 
5. Pulse reps can be added. 

CUES
- Squeeze from Quads
- Slow Negative
- Hold Hips Down

Leg Extensions

GOAL
Sculpt those hamstrings without lower back pressure, aka isolation exercise #HamTings

DETAILS
1. Tuck your pelvis into the hip pad. 
2. Point your toes like a ballerina. The weight will just feel heavier, you're welcome. If you flex your toes, you tryna lift with your calves...don't do that. 
3. Get in a full length leg stretch then curl the weight by squeezeing from your hamstrings with a controlled negative.
4. Exhale on the curl, inhale on the negative

CUES
- Slow Negative
- Stay Focused 
- Relax the Toes
- Tempo is Life

MODIFICATIONS
One legged - say bye-bye-bye to those imbalances. Add in quarter reps, pulses, and holds for the ultimate life-altering experience.

Lying Leg Curls

Superset

GOAL
Hamer those glutes, hamstrings and inner thighs, yum.

DETAILS
1. Set bar to shoulder height.
2. Position hands thumb distance away from where the rough meets the smooth on the barbell.
3. Squeeze shoulders back and get a proud chest.
4. Walk feet forward to be wide and toes slightly out.
5. Unrack.
6. Brace abs, arch back and push your hips back as you lower slow.
7. Squeeze your butt to stand.

CUES - Flat Back
- Brace Abs
- Hips Back

Smith Machine Sumo Squat

GOAL
Compound movement that hits it all

DETAILS
1. Place barbell on your back and create a shelf by squeezing your shoulder blades back and down.
2. Proud chest, with feet shoulder width.
3. Start by reaching the hips back and pushing the knees out.
4. Lower slowly and until the hips break parallel. 
5. Stand by driving the knees into the floor and squeezing your glutes.

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Brace Abs
- Knees Out

Barbell Squat

GOAL
Strengthen your leg drive with minimal spinal fading 

DETAILS
1. Feet position - Put them up high to stretch and work those hamstrings/glutes, or put them lower and closer together to smash those quads. 
2. Begin by pinning your shoulder blades into the pad, getting a proud chest, and setting your feet.
3. Un-rack the weight and lower slowly.
4. Keep the knees driving out slightly. Don't look like Bambi just coming out of the womb.
5. At the bottom, only go low enough where your lower back is still against the back pad.
6. Drive from heels to extend legs and don't lock out the knees fully at the top. We ain't tryna blow a knee.

CUES
- Back Pinned Against the Pad
- Knees Track Out
- Push from Heels

Leg Press

GOAL
Anti-cankle life - I got thick ankles so I need to do extra. 

DETAILS
1. Sit tall with appropriate weight.
2. Hang heels on edge of platform. 
3. Begin by fully stretching the heel down.
4. Pause. Squeeze calves up to raise on tippy toes. 
5. Slowly lower to full stretch. Repeat. 
6. Do pulse reps to hit failure. 

CUES
- Full Stretch
- Exhale on Up

Seated Calf Raise

GOAL
Lower back health which is key to life, lifting, good sex, and getting old #ExtensionsForLifeExtension

DETAILS
1. Hinge at the hip and give everyone that million dollar view they don't deserve. 
2. Hang all the way down and initiate the movement by squeezing your glutes.
3. Squeeze your butt and hamstring and raise to be in line with your legs.
4. Hold for a second at the top and slowly lower all the way down. Repeat. 

Pro-Tip: If you walk into the gym and your back hurts, hang off the end of this and wiggle that spine #SideToSide. Hang at the bottom and warm up by just extending a few inches up then coming back down to a relaxed position. Do a set of 30 and feel those lower lumbar say "hayyyy gurrrrl." 

CUES
- Squeeze Yo Ass
- Hinge At the Hip
- Tuck Your Ribs
