“Buckle up baby, this one’s intense,” promised the powerhouse as she brought the heat before even making her first rep, making a statement in some seriously scorching gym gear, highlighted by bright yellow. “Oh my gosh this outfit is actually fire tho!” co*mented one follower in appreciation.

Workout Breakdown

“Those pistol squats are no joke,” co*mented one impressed IG follower. Using the cable for assistance, Frech lowers herself down slowly to create maximum tension while maintaining her control. This move is great for beginners too, because you can set the weight high while working on form. The quads are actually worked most during the upward motion, so as you master the form and lighten the weight, you’ll be working with more of your own bodyweight.

For dumbbell staggered squats, French stands on tip toes with her back leg, and bends both her knees. The staggered stance is a hybrid of a bilateral and unilateral exercise where the working leg is the front leg. There’s an element of single leg training here, but with a more solid base, making it easier to remain stable when weights are added to the mix.

French is once again slow and controlled as she works her way up and down with the landmine movement, alternating her foot position from lunge to squat, working her quads, in addition to her hamstrings and core. The popular PTs core is tested once again during the dumbbell kneeling squats. “Cannot believe that you got so far back with those leaning squats,” wrote another follower. “Did those last night and literally thought I would blow chunks!”

Finishing off with cable leg extensions, French has taken more of a co*pound approach to this workout, rather than isolating muscles on machines. This approach has the effect of working more than just the targeted muscles, improving overall mobility and stability. This type of workout can also burn more calories in a shorter amount of time. Give this workout a blast and you’ll be quad stomping your way to greatness.
