Leg Training for a Pro Card: Pushing The Limits

Follow Derrione: @_thetakover_

This is a sample workout designed in accordance with the scientific principles of hypertrophy training.

PLEASE feel free to try it yourself!

To determine rest times per set, unless otherwise specified in the video, do your next set once:

Your target muscle is no longer still burning from the last set,
You feel like you can push the target muscle hard again, and are mentally ready for another hard set,
Your breathing is more or less back to normal, and
Your synergistic and stabilizer muscles are recovered and ready to support your target muscle in the upcoming set.

Because the training session shown here was for a PEAK WEEK (the last session before a deload), it might be a bit of a tough place to start. For best results, START with about half the number of sets and keep about 2-3 reps in the tank on each set (2-3 RIR). Then, slowly add weight or reps and add sets as needed. Detailed guidelines on how to progress can be found here:
