Why do you do a seated leg curl then a regular leg curl?

He's on tons of drugs and just needs to get some blood flowing to the muscles to deliver the sauce, so it doesn't really matter.

Yes I thought he was referring to "mesmorph", sorry Stav.

Lying leg curls are a terrible exercise and a waste of time imo.

You must be on some good shit. Otherwise, some hella over-training right there.

That's not over training in my opinion.

Exactly ...
Seems a lot of people like to buy into this ... Whole don't train hard or to failure .. But train smart instead....

a 315lb front squat is light to you people? that's 3 plates. Unless that is your max, 10 reps with that weight is impressive as hell

STRONGLY disagree. Those things are murder for your hamstrings. I couldn't do a leg workout without them

Even 135 feels awkward front squats is the hardest excersise I think... Just holding that bar against your throat
... Rough excersise regardless of the weight.. I like the challenge if it though

Yeah looks like one "hard" exercise (front squats) then a bunch of isolation work.

yup they are tough and because of the way you hold the bar, it makes it more difficult to breathe properly during the exercise too. I usually just do 155lbs for 10 reps per set. It's not to failure but it gets the job done

x2 I don't think even at my strongest I ever went higher than 185 on front squats.  315 for reps is pretty strong imo.

Exactly thank you.. This is a moderate session usually do squats on the same day as well putting front squats further back in the session using moderate weight
But these guys are from the Phil Heath hany era as little training as possible....

I think back squats are harder.
With front squats, there's a sense of awkwardness, but i feel that they're easier to perform.

Back squats make me feel like my head's going to explode.
