We Crawl. We Walk. We Squat. We Wobble. We Die. The savage cycle of life.

Leg part of today’s workout. Don't forget to hit your legs from all angles. Be sure to mix up your tempo and adjust your weight accordingly. Lifting heavy is essential for growth but it can really take a toll on your joints, nervous system and body in general. Don't be a pussy and use it as an excuse.

What I generally do is start with a heavy lift (power lifting style). I have my weekly goals building to a peak week (4th week) for my big 4 compound lifts. After I've completed them I will tackle that body part let's use legs as an example. Big Squats (and whatever other big exercises first) as my explosive lifts. After completed, if I choose to tackle legs I will hammer out leg exercises thereafter.

I will make sure to murder them with a variety tempos, iso-holds, high volume reps or super sets. Since my legs will be pre-exhausted with the big lifts I'm not going to need the super heavy weights. I'll be working more for the pump and burn.

I've never taken steroids nor ever will. That's not me. I will not admit defeat. At 40 years old, over 220lbs and once a skinny 130lb 20year old I can tell you this is the best way to pack and keep the beef on naturally. Heavy lift first, challenge yourself. Volume and variety, pump and burn. You'll look savage and be savage.

I've included part of my leg workout below.
