Leg Workout -Finisher- (QUADS KILLED)

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

A leg workout finisher is only as effective as the legs workout that precedes it. That said, if you-re not doing a finisher like the one I-m showing you in this video, then you-re likely leaving a lot of leg size potential on the table. Give this dumbbell legs workout sequence a try whether you are training at home or at the gym and you-ll start noticing more powerful size and strength gains in your quads and hamstrings in the next few workouts. This leg workout finisher requires only a single set of dumbbells to complete it. We-re going to use a mechanical drop set to eke out more effort from your legs, even when you think they-ve had enough. The first leg exercise to kick this all off is the weighted jump squat. For this particular legs exercise I prefer to weight with dumbbells rather than a bar across the back of the neck. If you were to explode up enough so that the bar actually lost contact with your back ever so slightly, it-s going to come crashing back down on the back of your cervical spine. If not dangerous, I can guarantee you it-s going to be at least a bit uncomfortable. You are to perform 8 reps of a weighted jump squat using 25 percent of your one rep max squat. The key is how you do your jump squats. Far too many people don-t jump with enough force. In order to get the most out of this you have to maximize your explosiveness. Jump into triple extension, forcing your ankles, knees and hips into full extension. Land softly and regroup, immediately and forcibly heading into your next rep. From here, immediately go into the front squat with dumbbells racked on your shoulders. Here you want to get 10 reps. Lower yourself down as far as you comfortably can while still maintaining good form on the squats. You are now only half way through. Proceed immediately into the weighted wall squats. Here your goal is to test your quad stamina and your overall heart. How long will you be able to stay in this ninety degree position against the wall without caving? Don-t let the dumbbells drop the minute your legs feel fatigued or start to burn. Instead, fight the urge and scratch for every second you can get. Finally done? Not so fast, drop the dumbbells and aim to complete another wall sit unweighted for as long as you can. Your legs will actually start to shake a bit until they finally collapse and make it known that you have nothing left. Rest and regroup and perform 2 final additional sets before calling your leg workout complete. For the best leg workouts and exercises to build big athletic quads and hamstrings, be sure to head to and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System.

Hi Jeff, many thanks for sharing your valuable insights which really must be helping many youth and other guys to exercise correctly. I am really motivated and have gained considerably in the previous months. Here is a problem i am facing and seeking your assistance. I met with an accident when i was about 15 years and fractured my right thigh bone. I had a rod inserted which was removed after 2 yrs. Now i am 29 years old and have started working out lately. My right leg is about 70% strong in comparison to the left one. Plz suggest something. Also, plz let me know if i need to write more to help you understand the issue. Thanks.

dumbell squats are awesome. It strenghtens the core too. Try this one: Legs twice the lenght of shoulders. Then you begin to squat from one leg to the other, at the same time you hold dumbells or weights in front of you, or on your shoulders. ;]]

For the front squats I would think one needs to stop earlier. I cannot see it in this angle of the video but suspect your lower spine curvature was not appropriate at bottom of the squat. The squat law video lays it out very clearly

Does anybody have experience doing this set? I've been incorporating this into my leg days along with lunges per set. By the time I'm at the isometric portion, I can only hold for 20 seconds tops and feel like dying. Is this normal?

I just wanted to thank you for making these videos. Between my diet and these videos, I have dropped 40 lbs in a little over a month. And that's on top of my 40 lbs I lost in 2 months with a trainer irl beforehand.

That last one is doable for a beginner like me even for the optimal 45s-under-contraction but boy did it make me quiver and heave and feel sensations in my leg that I've never felt before

Highly recommend this. My legs are DEAD and tbh I just had the worst quad cramp of my life, so make sure you stretch and drink plenty of water (and get enough potassium/magnesium too. Killer.
