Not really, just like NBA players aren’t their own coaches. Jay cutler had insane genetics and worked hard but most of his info is very outdated. There’s no such thing as a finishing movement vs mass builder movement. When you do a set near failure in the gym, the muscle that got close to failure had all its fibers stimulated and that triggers muscle protein synthesis to be elevated for a few hours. It’s really that simple. No hate to jay and you could prolly learn a lot from him but the science of muscle growth wasn’t really figured out back in his day so not that lol

@jakeherter Ай бұрын

Planet fitness leg day go like this: hit five sets on the calf extension machine. Then hit five sets on the leg extension machine, then five on the leg curl machine, then 5 on the leg press machine. All seated and cushioned machines with very low chance of injury with the ability to push as much intensity as you can manage. Smith machines are there if you want to do squats and so is a rackable leg press machine. If you are brand new you can start your legs with the workout laid out in this comment with the resistance settings at their lowest point.

I do think for more advanced lifters, they utilize isolation movements like these for pre-exhaustion and use it at the start, bit for beginners to intermediates it’s much better to use your freshest state for compound exercises instead and do extensions after

@vio2326 11 ай бұрын

Maybe someone here has a few tips: I train legs 1x every week consistently but I see almost no strenght and muscle gain. I usually start with either Smith Squats for 3 sets, denn legextensions or legpress, both 3-4 sets, after this I do leg curls for 3-4 sets and sometimes I do abductor and adductors too. On Extensions, Legpress and Curls I usually try to do 1 Dropset per LegDay (lower the weihht atleast 2 times)
