The best legs strength exercise you’re not doing

TFM WEEKLY NUT This week's highlights and best content in a nutshell Hi there, here are a few fitness things you might enjoy from this week... 80% of good training comes from applying what's already been tried, tested and true for decades by some of the worlds elite strength coaches (note, I say coaches and not bodybuilders). That 80% includes proper programming, periodised training, and selecting the right exercises to hit your goals. There's one lower body exercise I feel most people need in their lives. When programmed and progressed correctly it could be the missing link in your leg and glute development. Check out my latest article HERE to find out more. Following on from my chin-ups article a few weeks ago (if you missed it you can read it again HERE), scroll to the bottom of this email to see one of my favourite chin-up variations for beginners.  I hope you enjoy this weeks content, and as always please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or suggestions. Yours in strength and health, Gareth TFM PICK OF THE WEEK The most value-driven piece of content you can not afford to miss There are a multitude of variations, from dumbbell or barbell, and with names like Petersen and Zercher, each with something that might be the missing link in your lower body development. Find out more about the best legs exercise you could be missing out on HERE EXERCISE OF THE WEEK After both an article then a PODCAST (link HERE) on chin-up grip progressions, I thought it was a nice idea to show a complete beginner variation. If you struggle to do even band-assistend chin-ups this is for you. Since the typical person is 20-40% stronger during the eccentric portion of a movement, Eccentric Ring Chin-Ups help you to perform more reps than you ordinarily would. If you haven't got rings (or a TRX) then don't worry, as these can be performed on a bar in a rack, or in a smith machine set to chin height. Remember hold at the top while you raise your legs, then try to lower in 2-4 seconds. Try to get around 6-8 of these with a full range of motion before progressing to band-assisted on a bar.
