I did this the other day do to time constraints and kinda improvised.
it was probably the most effective Quad workout I ever have had.
here it goes.
Warm up for 10 minutes on the stair machine (warms up knees, and all joints really to get ready for squats)
1) 5 sets Pyramid fashion of free weight Sqauts to parallell only.
the goal is to push heavier weights down to the 8 rep range.
2) 4 sets of leg extensions Pyramid again only at the reps are higher 10-15.
3) then the GRAVY!
Full squats at 1/2 to 2/3 rds' of the weight you used on the last set from the first bout of squats. Reps are as high as you can go with that specified weight for
3 sets (straight sets)
make these sets very delibrate and controlled and pause at the bottom!
damn....................is all I can say
