Lower body Workouts for Men

Building the body of todays top fighter starts from the ground up. If you lack strength and power in your lower body then you are going to be missing a very important piece of the puzzle. The puzzle of: looking fit, being explosive/strong and scoring chicks (glutes are one of the top muscle they dig). Don't forget to check out the Greatest Glute Workout.

This routine will work muscles you haven’t felt before, might challenge your manhood, and may lead to an increase in swearing upon standing and sitting. Try to push through it, because the exercises here will increase testosterone production, recruit a ton of muscle fibers, and speed up your metabolism leading to a leaner more athletic looking body.

Try these to maximize your results:

Dynamic Warm-up

Start off with a Dynamic Warm-up, which will increase blood flow, stimulate the nervous system, prevent injury, and get you mentally prepared for the workout ahead.

Early Week Workout

Make your lower body day the first workout of the week, which will make you less likely to skip out on it.

Workout Barefoot

Try some of these exercises barefoot to strengthen the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the foot and lower leg. At Training for Warriors we have a lot of our clients warm-up barefoot and even lift barefoot.
This lower body workout by Training for Warriors Director of Operations, John Annillo, C.S.C.S. is part 3/7 of our MMA Body Series.
