About

This workout is tailored for individuals with advanced training, defined as over four years of weightlifting experience, emphasizing complex and effective exercises.
The legs compose six primary muscle groups—glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, adductors, and abductors—often engaged together through compound movements.
