MP Editor's Leg Smash Before The Arnold



Everyone BillComstockSeatedCalfloves to pump up the arms before heading to a big expo like The Arnold.  But, lets not forget that huge benefits in the entire body come from aggressive leg training.  For this reason, and the love of complete exhaustion I smashed the legs today at the BAC before the flight to my home state of Ohio.  The workout was built around the “pre-fatigue” concept.  In a “pre-fatigue” workout we hit single joint movements typically stressing the secondary movers and then move into compound movements hitting the primary and secondary movers simultaneously.
