He started out with a \u2018regular\u2019 placement, with his feet approximately in the center of the footplate and warmed up with a full range of motion that is quad dominant but also activated the hamstrings and glutes.<\/p>\n<p>Curry noted that the key is to bring the legs down in a controlled manner and then \u201ctry and get some explosion,\u201d as the legs head skyward. The second foot position had his feet at the top of the plate. This is known as the \u2018high\u2019 foot placement and requires more force from the hips and hamstrings than the regular placement.<\/p>\n<p>Finishing up with a \u2018narrow\u2019 stance back in the middle of the plate, Curry seriously crushed his quads and noted that despite the weight getting heavier, he still tries to lift with the same authority in order to maintain explosiveness and intensity. \u201cThat\u2019s how you hit that failure point a little bit quicker,\u201d he said, noting that in order to avoid injury, it is important to stop lifting before you \u201cget stuck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To allow the quads to recover a little, Curry used the leg press machine to perform calf raises. He started out by focusing on the lifting portion but ended with a stretch to once again get a full range of motion to \u201csee if I can get a better response out of them,\u201d he explained. The former Mr Olympia didn\u2019t list his sets or reps here, instead explaining that he was \u201cgoing on feel,\u201d so stay in the range of hypertrophy and aim for three sets of 8-12 reps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/workouts\/leg-exercises\/sissy-squat-guide-the-bruta-exercise-that-hits-your-quads-and-core\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">These sissy squats feel great<\/a>,\u201d noted Curry. \u201cI know people think it\u2019s a knee killer, but it\u2019s really not.\u201d The man from Nashville, Tennessee demonstrated a technique where he rolled down on to his toes on the decline before rolling back to a flat-footed position. \u201cThat way, it\u2019s a little easier on the joints,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Then, he went straight into the sumo squat using the hack machine, flaring his knees out. He explained making a superset out of these two movements would keep him working hard \u201cbut a little bit smarter,\u201d observing that he doesn\u2019t need to lift as much load due to the exhaustion factor here, once again avoiding the types of injuries associated with excessive weights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can call it as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/muscle-fitness-hers\/hers-workouts\/how-do-single-leg-squats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">single leg squat<\/a> if you want,\u201d said Curry of the floating step up as he positioned two resistance bands on the squat cage. He also utilized a wedge to raise his heels in order to be sure that this novel move is quad dominant. Curry placed the top band under his armpits and uses his right shin to slightly bounce off the bottom band, while the left leg does the work of lifting from the raised heel position. While this is certainly an advanced move to pull off, it has the benefit of isolating Curry\u2019s quads for great gains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, the heavier you are, the harder this will be,\u201d he observed before switching sides. \u201cGet as deep as possible,\u201d advised Curry before utilizing the hack squat machine for some good mornings in order to hit the hamstrings.<\/p>\n<p>This workout shows Brandon Curry\u2019s ability to use machines where he may previously have relied on free weights, and he\u2019s also varied his positions to find every available stretch and range of motion for his muscles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we speak from the perspective of longevity in the sport of bodybuilding, we gotta look to the guys like Dexter Jackson of course. See how he was able to stay in the game,\u201d commented Curry. \u201cCurrent guys like William Bonac, and if you include me in the mix, watch how they do things to kinda preserve the body and compete with longevity at a high level. For the younger guys: you\u2019re only bullet proof for a small frame of time, then you realize \u2018okay, I\u2019m not that bulletproof no more. I\u2019ve gotta use by brain a little bit more.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@BrandonCurryAllAccess\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">For more quality bodybuilding workouts and tips, click here to follow Brandon Curry on YouTube.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/training\/brandon-curry-shares-advanced-quad-workout-ahead-of-2025-mr-olympia\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brandon Curry is readying for his tenth Mr Olympia event this year and if a recent video posted to YouTube is anything to go by, The Prodigy\u2019 is still as hungry as ever.
