Today’s agenda = Building Oak Legs!

Each week for the foreseeable future I’ll be posting a new WORKOUT OF THE WEEK! Each workout will vary greatly and I’ll be combining lots of techniques (drop sets, time under tension, rest pause, isometric contractions, partials, etc) to ensure you get a killer workout.

I did the workout below this morning and my legs are in pieces (not literally but I can barely walk!). If you are unsure of the exercises check them out on YouTube first.
