High Volume Legs

(Note: weights used by 155lb actively training male. Always adjust the weight to fit your ability and never compromise form or range of motion for additional weight)

Warm-up: stretch your calves, hamstrings, quads and glutes for 2-3 minutes. Using a squat rack, perform slow and controlled back-squats with just the bar for upwards of 15 reps. Work on maintaining proper form, using a full range of motion, and getting blood into the muscles.
