Dealing with some swelling and extra tightness so I went lighter than “normal” and still got in a killer leg workout

Hardest workout I’ve done in a while! Quad pump activated!

This workout is geared towards people who have access to machines at a traditional gym, but if not, I will provide modifcations for some movements!

A. Leg extensions x15 reps
B. ANY hamstring machine (standing, lying, seated) 

After the 4th set of leg extensions, drop the weight 20% and preform to failure reps (not for hamstring curl)

- Sit on the machine with the pad at the bottom of your shin 
- Extend your legs engaging your quads 
- Pause at the top and lower slowly
