At the gym for leg day, light squats to warm up, heavy wide stance press, heavy hack squat (ish) and some SLDL to try and bolster the ass and hamstrings. Now with added pump pic from a different day... Still learning how to put posts together 😆

I used to swear by back squats for leg development, until I started trying to figure out actually which muscle fatigue was limiting the volume, that is, what does failure actually mean?

I was reading some newish research which says that CNS fatigue kicks in earlier on broad movements (like squats) than on narrow ones (like leg press). Since I'm working on building muscle, I'm trying to focus on isolation and near-isolations. To me, it feels like this is getting a larger volume of work from each group.

So, that's my preemptive explanation why I'm not just squatting hard
