Quad Focus Session

Quad Focus Session 03/13/2024. Rock music, squat shoes, Dorian Yates shirt... It's leg day

[@enthusiastsreview6459]

Love the shirt Agostino.

Why the half reps on the smith squat after good ROM on everything else?

[@agostinorussotraining]

With that smith machine angle and for the purpose of that exercise that's as far as I can go before I start rounding my back. Even I thought it wasn't a full ROM when looking at the video but I remember going as low as I could when I was doing it. Good observation.

Your partner wanted to do a drop on Leg Extension because that is the one movement he connected with. If he can find that connection on his compounds his quads will grow like yours

[@agostinorussotraining]

He does drop sets in general to increase volume in his leg session in a short period of time. The leg extension happens to be very safe to do so. We spent some time finding a rep range and an exercise selection that suited more of his needs than mine (since legs are a strong body part for me).

Your style of training changed my view on HIT. Its like Metzer / Yates mix but better because of focus on weak parts. Do you think weak parts should be trained more frequent or more sets on given day for that muscle group?

[@agostinorussotraining]

Yes the principles are similar but I adapted it to my needs. Weak body parts should definitely be prioritized. I typically add some volume in the form of more exercises, or more intensity techniques, etc but I found that it's not that much before I start stalling my progress. First it's more important in my opinion to select the right exercises and in the right order.

@@agostinorussotraining tnx. Yes order is important. First exercise which stimulate the most that weak body part 🙏
