Barbell Squat - Phase 4

Barbell Squat - Phase 4 - Hypertrophy Phase 2 - Day 4: Welcome to the last day of training. We'll be finishing off with a leg day, working the quads and calves as well as a bit of abs. Exercise number 1 is the barbell squat. Rest the bar on the mid to upper traps and not at the base of the neck. Also keep your stance slightly wider than shoulder width and with your toes slightly out. Remember the hips come out first on this exercise. Being regarded as the King of Exercises and a great mass builder, aim for 5 sets of 15, 12, 10, 8 and 6 reps, pyramiding the weight up set by set. Rest only 2 minutes to keep the intensity up, but allowing you enough recovery to use a good amount of weight. - Nick Jones - World Bodybuilding Champion & Joel Ramintas - Natural Bodybuilder
