Strong legs are a critical factor in nearly every sport. And as the legs are involved in so many types of movements, there are many ways to train them too, both traditional and non-traditional. Some debates online recently have been critical of different training methods, so we thought it would be good to lay out our approach. On this episode we talk about how and why we use various training methods for legs, and how we progress and combine the methods. We cover single-leg exercises, single-leg squats, squats, lunges, leg circuits, injury prevention, multi-directional movements, and many more aspects of training the legs.
