I’ve read your older articles on specialization phases and that your methodology has further evolved with time.
How would you write a leg specialization phase today vs your older articles or your previous leg specialization program I purchased on thibarmy?
Would you incorporate the Omni-contraction system?
Yes, it would use the omni-contraction system.
Day 1 - Eccentric emphasis
Day 2 - Stato-dynamic
Day 3 - Normal lifting
Each day would include opne quads dominant movement, one hip hinge and one unilateral exercises. I would also add 1-2 isolation exercise(s).
On Dayt 4 - I would train the rest of body for maintenance. I could also use 5 weekly workout with the .rest of the body.divided in twp sessions (push and pull)
Thank you.
Can you offer any suggestions on this?
