If your leg training hasn’t been all it is cracked up to be lately, it might be time to bump up the volume as far as your training sets go. You can work to increase your intensity on a fewer number of sets. But if it’s not happening, it’s just not happening. You would be best served to use more sets and find greater intensity as a result of prolonged blood flow to the muscle groups. Then, you will be able to cut back the sets and find ways to match this same blood volume.

It is very rare that we witness trainers in our gym using single-leg presses. Most typically, we’ll see it being demonstrated to a physical therapy patient by a personal trainer. The client will awkwardly limp through the movement. He or she may return to try it out alone down the road, but that will be about it. It’s oddly strange that we so rarely see people in our gyms using a movement.
Why is this odd? It’s interesting so few amateurs use this movement because it’s actually a fairly common movement among advanced and professional athletes. Why does such a chasm exist on what should be an obvious movement? What do the pros know that the amateurs do not? What possible reason do they have for using a movement that 99% of ...If you like this article, click here to share:
