Ep.9 - Full Leg Day Workout Walkthrough, Quick BBQ Tofu, and How to Approach Body Fat During a Bulk
I was called fat this week… so, I wanted to address the difficulties of dealing with gaining body fat while bulking. I also talk about how you can measure progress to determine that you are putting on lean mass (muscle) throughout a bulk.
LEGS AND CALVES - FULL WORKOUT IN VIDEO
This workout is best suited for intermediate to advanced lifters. It can be modified for beginners by reducing the amount of sets. This workout takes a little over 2 hours with 1 minute or more rest periods. Barbell Squats are the major exercise for this workout and are set up in a big block of sets to help completely warm up the muscles and eventually go heavy. The workout includes several warm up sets to increase blood flow and add in repetitions to the workout. It’s a high rep, sweat inducing, muscle growing workout. Try it out for great quad growth and overall leg strength!
