Leg Press
Andrew and Larry’s leg workout continued with leg presses, a movement that simulates a squat but completely removes the lower back from the equation. The implemented a shoulder-width stance and did not lock his knees so that there was constant tension on the muscle, giving a good mind-muscle connection. Adding extra size to his legs, specifically hamstrings, has been a priority for Jacked since the Olympia.
Leg Extension & Lunges – Superset
The final set of the day was a superset with leg extensions and lunges, an absolutely brutal finisher to an intense leg day. Andrew Jacked made sure to keep tension once again by performing shorter strides and steps during lunges. This superset was to isolate quads after two compound movements.
