In a recent Instagram post, CBum shared an epic leg day finisher so that you can try it for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re looking for a fun way to smoke your legs, next leg day, give this a shot at the end of your workout,\u201d enthused the brilliant bodybuilder, challenging his 25.5-million-plus Instagram followers to push themselves harder.<\/p>\n<p>Ready? Get reclined onto a leg press machine and follow Bumstead\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n<h2>Chris Bumstead\u2019s \u2018Fun\u2019 Leg-Day Finisher<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/workouts\/workout-tips\/4-common-leg-press-mistakes-and-fixes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The leg press<\/a> is a great bookend to any leg day workout because it hammers the hamstrings, glutes, quads, and calves. The principle is simple, but the practice is anything but easy. \u201cSet a timer for 2 minutes and just go,\u201d offers your dream bodybuilding coach. Going barefoot is optional, but not necessarily allowed at your local gym, however!<\/p>\n<p>To demonstrate the details, Bumstead rounds out his leg day by installing himself into the leg press machine. He then proceeds to complete as many reps as he can, closing in on 65 stunning reps before his form finally fails. Note that this bodybuilding icon used controlled presses for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/workouts\/workout-tips\/how-use-tut-training-improve-stability-and-strength\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">time under tension<\/a> rather than rapid reps to beat the clock. Bumstead\u2019s fun for fiery challenge involves a minimum leg pressing session of two minutes. \u201cBare minimum is 60 reps,\u201d he says, explaining how to make use of the time.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the aim here is to work toward failure, so you may wish to experiment until you find a weight that is challenging, but within reason. \u201cChoose to do something hard this weekend, you\u2019ll thank me later,\u201d commented CBum, signing off on another winning workout.
