HOW TO PERSONALIZE YOUR TRAINING PROGRAMS
press, but, for safety, not the leg press followed by the bent-legged deadlift, or
any type of deadlift followed by the squat.
13.119 In order for the two exercises of each pairing to be done back to back, the
equipment and weights for both movements must be set up in advance.
13.120 e second exercise in each pairing will suffer as a result of the effects of
the first exercise. You must reduce the poundage of the second movement
accordingly.
13.121 Done intensively, especially for high reps, each of these pairings will crush
you, but the growth stimulation can be huge. But do not drop into it without
a progressive preparatory period. Stick with it, rest adequately between sessions,
build up the weights in both exercises of each pairing, and you will get
bigger and stronger as a result.
13.122 Safety must be uppermost in your mind if you use any of these pairings.
Because you will be crushed after the first exercise, you need 100% attention
to using perfect form on the second exercise. Consider the leg press and
stiff-legged deadlift combination. As you do the stiff-legged deadlift your
legs will tremble and you could lose control over them. is could be very
dangerous. If you cannot exercise perfect control in the second exercise, then
do not do the exercises back to back.
13.123 Even following waiting several minutes after performing the leg press, your
legs may still shake when you stiff-legged deadlift. If this happens to a degree
that your form is compromised, then reorganize your program. Arrange it
so you have sufficient rest between the two exercises that the second of them
can be done in perfect form.

ough not popular today, in the pre-steroids era the 20-rep squat
was very influential. It was hugely productive back then, when used
as the cornerstone of an abbreviated training program, and it can be
hugely productive today. Anyone who thinks that high reps do not
build muscle and strength is totally out of touch with Iron Game
history.
