Leg day is always tough. But if you’re training like Bobby Maximus, it’s more of a glutes-burning, whole body-shaking, begging-for-mercy kind of tough.
We hit up the former UFC fighter (who, by the way, is author of the Men’s Health Maximus Body book,) to give us a sneak peek at his go-to lower body workout. And seeing as COVID-19 is still running rife, he’s made it attainable for those stuck in iso without access to gym equipment.
“The reason I work legs every day is because it’s what I call the epicentre of athletic performance,” he tells us.
As fans of the fitness personality have come to expect, the session is very simple. It only involves two moves—squats and lunges—but does require difficult isometric hold periods.
Without further ado, check out the workout and demonstration in the clip below.
