Video 500 | Muscle Construction Challenge: Day One (30 minutes) with Lauren Eirk

15-Jan-2024
Day 1 of the Muscle Construction is a complete leg day workout involving multiple joints in several compound dumbbell movements to recruit as much muscle as possible within each rep. Enjoy some isolation exercises at the end of the routine to ensure adequate time under tension for the hips and thighs.
Being able to perform a movement with the best control possible while squeezing the muscles you are using should be the aim. I will be giving many modifications throughout so that each person can adapt the exercise to meet his or her needs.
This first workout sets the stage for the week, as you are working on some of the largest muscles in the body. This will jumpstart testosterone and growth hormone to help you build muscle througout the week.
Focus on the quality of each individual rep, rather than moving the weight from point A to point B, in a mind-to-muscle connection. Some muscles will need to hold the position and some to move the weight. Think of this as "lab time" for your body as you practice!
