Legs + Back Workout

TRANSCRIPT

What’s up you guys, welcome to a full leg and back workout. So with today’s workout, you guys are going to see me doing a couple of compound exercises for leg, and what that means with compound exercises is that, I’m working multiple muscle groups at the same time. So I’m working quads, hamstrings, glutes, and my lower back and even my upper back and traps. So that’s why this is a full leg and back workout and I’m excited to bring you guys along the ride here. As you guys may have recently known that I shared on my social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram, I have been doing powerlifting style exercises for the last month, month and a half now. And I really like to just try different techniques and understand the different ways to work out and to challenge the body. So, right now you guys are gonna be watching me warm up, which is so important to get the body warm before you actually move into the exercise. So I’m doing some barbell work only, just straight up barbell, no waves added, and I’m doing exercises like RDS, bent-over rows, overhead presses, upright rows, and some squats. And I’m doing one to two sets of 10 to 12 reps per exercise. And again, this gets me really warmed up and my body ready to rock and roll with the workout that we’re gonna move into next. All right, here we are with exercise number one. So the ultimate goal with this first exercise for me and this entire workout is to really just continue to warm up my body. So I’m gonna be doing three sets of 10 reps of squats. And for these 10 reps of squats, I’m choosing a weight that is pretty easy and I know that I can complete it with not too much challenge. Again, this is an exercise and I’m looking to warm up the body to move into the next exercise, which is gonna be the main lifts of this workout. All right, here we are with exercise number two, this is where it gets serious you guys. So, this next exercise is just a deadlift. I’m going to be doing one set of AMRAP and AMRAP is As Many Reps As Possible, A-M-R-A-P, As Many Reps As Possible. So this is just one set. I am going to go for, again, as many reps as I possibly can get to where I feel like I can’t get one or two more in. So, this will be fun let’s go. All right, well, that was fun. Now we’re gonna move into what is known as a back-off set. So that last AMRAP was my top set, it’s something that will cause ultimate fatigue for the entire workout. Now we’re gonna back-off and continue to still focus on deadlifts, but this goal is to be progressive in adding weight each set and going for five sets of three reps. Okay, so here we are for exercise number four where we’re introducing a very unique piece of equipment. This is known as a trap bar. And you guys, if you don’t have this at your home or at your gym, you can still use just a regular old bar belt. But the main concept of this next exercise is the deficit, where you guys can see that I’m standing on a 45 pound plate, and I’m creating more range of motion for the movement that I can go a little bit lower than I normally could with just standing on a normal platform. So that adds a little bit more of a deficit to the entire movement by me standing on that plate. And we’re focusing on three sets of eight reps here. Now moving into the fifth and sixth exercises, which these two are to be supersetted together, we’re doing lat pull down. So focusing on the lats in your back, and then we’re doing a superset with biceps where we’re focusing on hammer curls. And this is going to be three sets of 10 reps. And the last exercise here is, I use the lateral rows. Now, if you don’t have this piece of equipment in your gym you can do just cable rows or even bent-over dumbbell rows, but, again, this is a back exercise. So you wanna make sure that you’re still finding an exercise that equates the same type of movement here, whether that be with a dumbbell barbell or a cable machine. Now we’re doing three sets of 12 reps here. Cool, you guys, that concludes the workout for today. And just to recap, to give you guys some knowledge and education so you can take that and then go ahead and try this workout for yourself is, again, it was a powerlifting style workout, so we’re focusing on compound exercises, meaning hitting multiple muscle groups at the same time. And the top exercises of the day was a deadlift, that being AMRAP and then the backoff sets with the five sets of three and progressing with each of those sets in weights. And then, the later exercises being the trap bar and the lat pull downs, hammer curls and rows, are more of . So we’re focusing on smaller muscle groups that have more of a primary focus on that specific muscle that you hit.
