Are you avoiding doing legs today? Just one exercise to blow them up.

Equipment needed: Kettle Bells (dumbbells suitable); plyo box; and testicular fortitude

Muscles targeted: Quads, Hamstrings, Glutes (Secondary: Abs, Lower Back, Calves)

Overview:
More often than not I avoided training legs most my life. Several years back I decided I needed to grow some legs and butt. I remember reading a great quote "Man with the biggest ass moves the biggest mountains". So the pursuit of swole legs began late in my training years but later than ever. Now it's hard not to go a day without getting in some squats or deadlifts in.

Today's Deezify your Legs exercise is the front squat with Kettle Bells. I'm not very bendy so I don't attempt front squatting with the barbell. All the power to you.

Technique:
1. Grab matching pair of kettle bells and prop them up in the rack position
2. Squat down (to a plyo box, bench or stepper) with an eccentric count of 4 seconds and explode up for a concentric count of 1 second. Squat 8 times.
3. Rest 40 seconds. 4 sets of this bad boy.
4. And then when you think it's over... on your 5th set start with the same weight and drop set it 3 times with a 20% drop each time

Example:
set1: 8 reps x 2 kettle bells (kb) x 52 lbs/each (102lbs)
set2: 8 x 102lbs
set3: 8 x 102lbs
set4: 8 x 102lbs
set5(drop set): 8 x 102lbs; 8 x 80lbs; 6 x 60lbs; 8 x 40lbs

Conclusion:
Your legs shall be thick and juicy. Slap them silly and soon you shall grow some nice slabs of beef.
