Program Introduction: This is a nice and short workout – but the idea is that during all of the sets you are REALLY pushing the intensity in the gym. This is actually one of the workouts from my 2015 pre-contest season, and I can attest for the major kick azz feeling you’ll have after completing […]

Kick My Butt: Glutes, Hams, and Quads Plyo Workout 4
This series, and the strength version of it, are my absolute FAVORITE leg programs hands down. As you can tell from the title, this workout is going to kick your BUTT, all over the gym. This is a plyo workout, so there will be a lot of jumping in this one. If you feel you need to modify any of the exercises below, please do so! Plyometric training is all about EXPLOSIVE power. The definition of power is to produce the most amount of force/energy in AS LITTLE TIME AS POSSIBLE. So you want to make sure for any of the exercises below that you are giving your all, and that you’re putting the challenge on in the gym!

Legs Plyo + Brute Strength 2
I absolutely LOVE this workout! Great push for the legs, will have you sweating, and working really hard throughout. This is part 2 of our series. Be sure to start with part 1 before progressing to this workout. We’ll begin the workout with some plyos, which will pre-exhaust the legs a little bit. Afterwards we’ll move into some strength work, and although you may not be able to go super heavy with all of your sets after the plyos, you can focus on the mind/muscle connection instead. If you cannot perform jumps, then simply move to the strength portion of the program.

Legs – Streamline and Chisel Training
This workout is the first part in a series I followed for my prep for the IFBB Ultimate Warriors. One of my goals during that prep was to really stimulate my lower half, push hard in the gym, and bring about the conditioning that I need to hit the stage.
Now, my goal in general was always to keep the same intensity precontest that I hit in the off season. And a lot of why I train over various rep ranges and modalities (and have clients train that way as well) is so that I can pull from my bag of tools in season and have fantastic results.
So this workout is going to play more with power, strength endurance, and a little bit of stabilization. Listen to your body, train hard, and keep your eye focused on the prize. During this contest prep phase, I performed this specific workout 2x per week and for 2 full weeks.
The GOAL though is to try to beat your numbers (amount of weight, number of reps, less rest) each time you do it. So the challenge comes in trying to raise the bar each and every time.
