What? No leg extension or leg press? That’s right,
but there are plenty of squats and deadlifts for you to
enjoy! Also, notice how the parameters change every routine.
Research indicates that greater progress is made when volume
and intensity are manipulated in an undulating fashion (i.e.
alternating or wave-like manner) rather than the typical
linear approach. This time perform each workout only twice
a week for a month (e.g. every Monday and Thursday, or Tuesday
and Friday).
Incidentally, all the routines listed above require no
machines whatsoever. All you need is a simple barbell set,
some dumbbells, a good (anti-burst) Swiss ball, and a mat.
That’s it – you can do everything in the comfort
of your own home even all the calf raise variations. Although
meant for intermediates, you should receive some very advanced
results from this progression. Good luck!
