Here we go! Drop sets format for leg day! The quads, hamstrings, calves and glutes are all in on the action today! Action packed with so many variations, a solid leg day workout! Drop sets are typically performed in reduction of weight or sometimes duration of sets- this workout will focus on that reducing of the weight but also increased range of movement to reduce the intensity- however this is very different when applied as the intensity will increase even though you reduce either the weight or perform full range as apposed to partials for example! There is a lot of variety in this workout but it will be very focused at points on either the quads, hamstrings and/or glutes! For this workout you will simply need a pair of dumbbells, your mat and a yoga block or thick book! The timer will be on for 45 seconds each exercise with 15 seconds rest inbetween! The dumbbells I am using for your reference are 12. 5kg each. 1/2 REP SUITCASE SQUATS 1 1/2 REPS! FULL RANGE! LUNGE HOLD! SWITCH SIDE! LUNGE PULSES (switch side) LUNGE PULSES (switch side) FULL RANGE LUNGES (switch side) FULL RANGE LUNGES (switch side) 1/2 REP HEEL ELEVATED SQUATS 1 1/2 REPS! FULL RANGE! CURTSEY TO SQUAT x2 dumbbells SWITCH SIDE! CURTSEY TO SQUAT x1 dumbbell SWITCH SIDE! CURTSEY TO SQUAT x bodyweight SWITCH SIDE! 1/2 REP RDLS 1 1/2 REP RDLS! FULL RANGE RDLS! REAR STEP LUNGE x2 dumbbells SWITCH SIDE! REAR STEP LUNGE x1 dumbbell SWITCH SIDE! REAR STEP LUNGE x bodyweight! SWITCH SIDE! 1/2 REP STAGGERED RDL SWITCH SIDE! 1 1/2 REP STAGGERED RDL SWITCH SIDE! FULL RANGE STAGGERED RDL SWITCH SIDE! 1/2 REP ELEVATED SQUATS x2 dumbbells X1 DUMBBELL! BODYWEIGHT ONLY! PULSES CALVE RAISES x2 dumbbells FULL RANGE! PULSES CALVE RAISES x1 dumbbell FULL RANGE! PULSES CALVE RAISES bodyweight! Finisher: 30/30/30 1/2 REP HIGH SQUATS x2 dumbbells X1 DUMBBELL! BODYWEIGHT ONLY! Mentally as you will work through this workout, it is great to know the next exercise variation maybe dropping a dumbbell or moving from 1/2 reps to 1 1/2 reps but it is physically very demanding yet somehow so much fun! This actually might be one of my favourite leg day workouts of the EPIC III program! And what a way to finish it than with some bodyweight 1/2 rep squats! Have fun today and enjoy those 15 seconds rest! Remember to go at your own pace and think about the muscles being targeted as you perform each rep!

Thanks so much Caroline for your amazing workouts, I've learned so much from all your training methods. A small bit of feedback - can we have a wee bit more rest when we are switching to a totally different exercise, especially when we've got heavy weights and equipment like the yoga block to manoeuvre around? Even 20 sec would relieve the stress, allow for a deep breath that we've finished a group and then get organized for the next round. I understand the short 15 sec rest between each of the exercises within each drop set, but when we shift gears to a new exercise the 15 sec was too short for me, I had to keep pausing the video while I scrambled to get organized.

I have to say that I skipped some of the workouts half way of the program I'm sad because I wanted to be more consistent in like a perfect way that I know is super hard 'cause life happens there's work, family and friends and sometimes there's no way to sneak a workout session in. This time around is my third time trying this program and the other two times I restarted for the same reason but this time I made my self do them even if I failed to do them the assigned days. I had not so big progress because I was not on point with my nutrition but managed to maintain so that is a win and I am so much stronger today ---

Done with 12. 5kg dumbbells- that was really tough! Probably the hardest part was the 1/2 heel elevated squats with TWO dumbbells; it was just a bit too much for my poor quads! -
I-m probably going to take the next two days off in preparation for what Caroline has in store for us on Monday the 4th -

THIS IS EPIC! I wasn't sure I believed the need to drop weights, bu WHHHATTTTTTTT. That was incredible and so intense. Its a keeper that one, so so so good! My legs are done! (And yes, my heart rate was raised the entire time, not much rest in there)

This workout was a challenge as usual! The lunge holds killed me, but I kept pushing through with a little longer rest times! I-m proud of myself and everyone who completed and pushed through this astounding leg workout! I-m happy I did this today: )

Loved this! I used 20 lb for the first 30% of the workout + 25 pound for the remainder of the workout. rear step lunges, calves and the finisher were difficult.

I loved this workout from start to finish & I find the music you play very motivating in all ways.
I love your workouts & can-t wait to see more xx

Leg destruction confirmed! 1. 5 definitely not much easier then. 5rep: D But no bulgarian splits so all good, challenging but enjoyed a lot! Thank you!
