Dieting down, a little bit less so, right?\u201d Still, Sulek made his intent to \u201cblow up\u201d his quads clear as he got down to business and undertook this monster session.<\/p>\n<h2>Sam Sulek\u2019s Quad Thrashing Workout<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Leg Extensions:<\/strong>\u00a09 Sets, 5 Reps on each leg<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seated Hip Press Machine:<\/strong>\u00a03 sets, 28 reps, 11 reps, 13 reps<\/p>\n<p><strong>Double Leg Extensions superset with Sissy Squats:<\/strong>\u00a02 sets toward failure<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cutzilla Day 31 - Quad Thrashing\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S0lSfDO3EWU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Workout Breakdown<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cSo, these are gonna be a little more burning focused,\u201d explained Sulek, starting his workout with leg extensions. The social media star\u2019s goal here was to focus on pausing at the top of the lift and getting as much stretch as possible. He also took a unilateral approach to make the reps more taxing while making sure his strength is balanced. Sulek pointed out that each leg gets more of a break by using each limb separately, making it a great way to warmup. Still, the IFBB Pro worked to failure, completing his sets with partial reps towards the end. \u201cThere\u2019s no quad squeeze from a press or a squat that\u2019s gonna match the squeeze and burn you can get on an extension,\u201d advised the bodybuilder.<\/p>\n<p>With his quads now pumped, Sulek sauntered over to the seated hip press machine to tax his hip flexors, glutes, quads, and hamstrings. The bodybuilder used ascending weights with each set to really work those muscle groups for the first two sets, and then dropped to seven plates from eight, for his last set. Now suitably spent, Sulek took a few seconds to catch his breath before deciding, \u201clet\u2019s go back to some leg extensions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For his finisher, Sulek utilized double leg extensions and superset them with sissy squats. He went heavy with the first set, hitting 4 extensions before performing 9 squats. Then, in his second set, Sulek opted to go lighter and bring in some paused reps. He did seven extensions in this set, pausing halfway up the lift to maximize time under tension. The big man gave it all he had with a few more quick-fire reps before calling it a day with nine more sissy squats. The sissy squat is another quad thrasher, but it also improves knee and ankle stability. With speculation that Sulek may enter the 2026 Arnold Classic next March or a show even closer, the fast-rising bodybuilding star leaves it all in the gym as he makes gains for greatness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more of these sensible workouts while getting your sweat on, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@sam_sulek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">subscribe to Sam Sulek on YouTube<\/a>.\u00a0<\/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\/workouts\/workout-routines\/sam-suleks-quad-focused-leg-day-while-cutting-high-burn-low-reps-total-squeeze\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sam Sulek is currently cutting weight as he eyes up his first IFBB Pro show and, in a recent YouTube vlog, explained how eating less calories means having greater consideration for recovery on leg day. \u201cA touch of calves, but quads is gonna be the primary component,\u201d explained Sulek as he introduced his latest workout, &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fitness"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15176","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15176"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15176\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15176"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15176"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/loudhdtv.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
