LEG DAY | WINTER TRAINING

LEG DAY | WINTER TRAINING
I'm taking the Mike Mentzer approach to less volume, high intensity and going to failure. I've been doing this style workout for about 3 months now and noticed that I did miss out on some of the extra load on my low back that seems fine to miss out for bodybuilding, but it is crucial for BMX Racing. I added in the Low Back squats with lower weight and the Hyperextensions to put some of that volume back into my workouts.

    I like to warm the knee’s up on leg day with the seated hamstring curl, it puts the least strain on the knees but warms/ prepares the joints and posterior chain for squats. It also feels better for me when I go into leg extensions. Give it a try see if you notice any difference. For what it’s worth I’m a Physical therapist and exercise physiologist. Keep it up man 🤟

    Yeah, I do like those as well along with the minimal loading of the posterior chain. I’m not sure if you read the description, tI’ve been following a Mike Mentzer approach to my lifting which effectively takes one set to failure. The lower volume has helped in my overall recovery and I’m now trying to gauge adding in a few other elements. I do appreciate the thoughtful suggestion and will try them in my rotation.

    ⁠@@TheDriveTrainyes I’ve had success with Menzer programs in the past with the main focus being Hypertrophy. I personally like pushing sets to ultimate failure but found greater success in programs that have you stopping short of failure by 1-3 reps in terms of strength gains.Everyone responds differently to different programs so it’s good to try different programs to see how the body responds.

    Thanks man. I’ve been trying to manage the amount of lifting volume I need and still manage my recovery. I made this. Video a while ago and have been loving into it for the past 6 months. It’s been a challenge to cut back on the amount of weights I’m lifting, but I do feel like I’m recovering. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hnuaks-PlpjLm9I.htmlsi=iqyorZV0AMGqb0zH
