Man Does Rear-Leg Elevated Split Squat During Lower-Body Workout

In case your last few workouts have been igoring your lower body, don’t worry—today is leg day. And with this muscle-building circuit that targets your quads, glutes, hamstrings, and more, you’ll be stacking on size in no time. 

You’ll kick off this rapid-fire routine with dumbbell stepups and single-leg dumbbell deadlifts that’ll quickly ignite every muscle from your hips down to your ankles. A closing round of two different squat variations—rear-foot elevated split squats and jump squats—will give you a final finishing burn for maximum muscle growth.

Directions

You’ll do this workout as a circuit, meaning you’ll complete each exercise consecutively without rest. Once you’ve finished all exercises, rest for 30 seconds. Repeat the entire circuit for 5 to 10 rounds.

Depending upon your ability, you may shorten or lengthen the rest period. You may also complete more or fewer rounds.
