Hamstrings & Quads Super Set

Hamstrings! Do your thing!


During this leg day workout we combine seven traditional exercises that will keep your base strong (including your core!). As women, our quads tend to overpower our hamstrings, so strength training to our posterior chain is money! Be sure to follow each focus point carefully, carrying it on throughout all of your workouts.

Pointers:

  • BRACE YOUR SPINE (NECK, THORACIC AND PELVIC REGIONS) AT THE START OF EVERY MOVEMENT. DO NOT HYPER-EXTEND AT THE TOP OF ANY MOVEMENT.
  • EXPERIMENT WITH THE VALSALVA MANEUVER DURING EACH EXERCISE TO STABILIZE THE BODY AND PREVENT INJURY.
  • COUNT 3 SECONDS ON EVERY ECCENTRIC CONTRACTION. MAINTAIN TIME UNDER PRESSURE.
  • ALWAYS TRY TO GO AS HEAVY AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT COMPROMISING YOUR FORM. ONCE FORM STARTS TO BREAK, IT IS A SIGN TO DECREASE THE WEIGHT. YOU SHOULD BE OUT OF BREATH AT THE END OF EACH SET.
