One Sandow, three Arnolds, one Show of Strength, six international Grand Prixs, a San Francisco Pro, and an Ironman. That’s Dexter Jackson’s collection of IFBB Pro League trophies, 13 in all, but, though he hasn’t added to it since his five-trophy year of 2008, he’s not through yet.
On February 19, Dex plans to add a fourteenth title, one no one else has: a FLEX Pro. As he prepped for the inaugural FLEX Pro, the Blade shared his thoughts on quad training and shared a typical quad routine.
DEX TALKS QUADS
“I typically train quads and hams separately. I’ll give quads their own workout and hit hams after shoulders.”
“I don’t go beyond parallel on squats. In the past, going too deep caused knee problems.”
“Supersetting leg extensions and lunges brings in the deep cuts in my thighs. Those hamstring and glute tie-ins and the deep, deep cuts on the sides of my thighs–that’s all from doing lunges.”
“Make sure you squeeze hard at the top of leg extensions.”
