Vitali Snitsarenka found what method works best for him to train legs with no pain in his knee joints.
Israeli bodybuilding champion Vitali Snitsarenka has built a physique that has brought multiple victories on stage. When training legs, Snitsarenka found that there was discomfort in his knee joints and attempted to find a solution. This came in the form of pre-exhaustion training.
“I have noticed that my legs respond well to pre-exhaustion training, that I don’t have to go super heavy but my quads hypertrophy well.”
The main reason to use the pre-exhaust method is to stimulate new gains in strength and size.
If you are at an intermediate or advanced stage with your training, there may be times where progress slows. This is because the body is at the stage where it can comfortably deal with the demands of training.
Therefore, it is necessary to increase the amount of stress that the muscles experience in order for the adaptation process to begin once again.
Utilizing advanced training techniques (like the pre-exhaust) into your workouts is one straightforward method that can be used to increase the demand placed on the muscles.
Vitali Snitsarenka Talks Method To Building Leg Muscles
Vitali Snitsarenka has won numerous championships in the Classic Bodybuilding division, including multiple titles of the Republic of Belarus.
Snitsarenka acknowledged that many bodybuilders rely solely on heavy weights to build muscle but believes it can be done with other methods. He begins his workouts with multiple sets with high repetitions, usually between 30-40, with 40-50% of the maximum weight.
“Each leg workout must begin with the first fatigue. Doing it all in the simulator, straightening the legs.”
The main workout consists of 10 sets of 10 reps with rest being no longer than two minutes. Snitsarenka changes his schedule when training legs when he is preparing for a competition.
“One training session, for example, on Monday we work on quads and on Wednesday, we work on hamstrings and buttocks.”
Another reason why you may want to utilize pre-exhaust is to bring some variation to your training program. Performing the same exercises with the same number of sets and reps for months and months can become mundane and may negatively impact motivation levels as a result.
Declining motivation can have an impact on exercise adherence which will then impact how quickly you improve.
“I assure you, if you have problems with your knees and you do not have the opportunity to do prohibitive weights for your body, this scheme is for you.”
