Legs : Advanced Routine Milos Sarcev

LEGS
 ADVANCED ROUTINE: MILOS SARCEV



MILOS SARCEV, THE MAN WHO
has competed in more pro bodybuilding shows than anyone in history (72 in a span of 12 years), knows a thing or two about mental toughness. He’s also come back from a devastating knee injury in 2002. Workouts like this show he has no intentions of letting up.
>> Warm up is key. “I alway begin my leg workout with 10 minutes of cardio, then I move to leg extensions to further warm up my muscles,” Milos says.
>> Change is good, he adds. “It’s insanity to do the same thing over and over and expect results. Change your routine often to keep making progress.”

BODYBUILDING ROUTINES : LEGS : Milos Sarcev UNILATERAL LEG EXTENSION
UNILATERAL
LEG EXTENSION
START:
Adjust the machine so your back and legs are fully supported. Hook both feet underneath the roller, but use only one at a time to lift the weight.
MOVE: Inhale and slowly contract your working quad to lift the roller until your leg reaches full extension. Exhale and squeeze for one count at the top before slowly lowering to the start. Complete all reps on one leg before switching to the other.

BODYBUILDING ROUTINES : LEGS : Milos Sarcev BARBELL SQUAT
BARBELL SQUAT
START: Balance a barbell across your traps and stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
MOVE: Keeping your head up and your shoulders back, squat down, kicking your hips behind you as if you were sitting in a chair. When your thighs reach parallel to the floor or slightly below, power back up to the start, stopping just short of locking your knees. (This move is also "Legs : 15-Minute Routine").

UNILATERAL
LEG PRESS
START: Place one foot high on the platform, keeping the other flat on the floor for stability, and unlock the handles.
MOVE: Slowly lower the platform toward your body, keeping your foot flat and your back pressed into the seat until your knee comes close to touching your shoulder. Press back up forcefully and stop just before locking out your knee. Repeat for reps, then switch legs. “I see so many people doing 1,000-pound, one-inch leg presses,” Sarcev says. “That won’t help you develop anything but a big ego. [Use] a full range of motion.”

‘‘If you finish this workout without being
sick to your stomach, you didn’t do it
right!” Milos says.
