HOW I STRUCTURE MY LEG DAYS

I like to structure my leg days the same each time so I have a game plan when I walk in the gym. I hit legs 3x a week and change up a few exercises each leg day, but for the most part do the same routine because I have found what works for me. I think it is important to find exercises that work the best for you and stick to them, using progressive overloading to get stronger.

I start my leg days with compound movements. Usually I’ll do 1-2 compound exercises on each leg day, and hip thrusts are always one of them. Another example could be squats. Compound exercises are great because you can really load the weight on because they use multiple muscle groups.

Next I will move into an isolation movement. This could be a b-stance RDL shown above, a cable kickback, or hip abductions. These target the one specific muscle group (in this case glutes)

Finally I will move into a unilateral movement last. This could be a step up shown above, a single leg press, or a reverse lunge. Unilateral movements work one leg at a time. These movements are great to make sure both sides are equally as strong!
