IFBB Pro bodybuilder and fitness star Seth Feroce recently shared a high-intensity leg workout. A prominent name from the 2000s era of bodybuilding, Seth Feroce has maintained an incredible level of fitness despite being out of competition for nearly a decade. Feroce has trained as a bodybuilder for a very long time. However, he has frequently resorted to crossfit and other forms of high-intensity training to maintain fitness.
The 39-year-old is also a vocal critic of bodybuilding lifestyle and steroid use. He admits that his body was aesthetically better during his bodybuilding days. However, Feroce turned towards high-intensity functional training to look and feel good. His goal is to improve the ability to perform different physical activities that are difficult for a bodybuilder.
Recently, Seth Feroce adopted a different routine for a leg day as bodybuilders Keone Pearson and Martin Fitzwater convinced him to try their leg workout routine. Feroce shared a leg-day workout on his YouTube channel and went through the entire session as Pearson and Fitzwater took the lead.
Seth Feroce’s Leg day Workout
Seth Feroce, Martin Fitzwater, and Keone Pearson went through the intense workout session that focussed on high reps volume as well as heavier weights.
The trio started the workout with ultra-high rep sets of leg extensions to pre-exhaust the muscles before delving into other movements. In the description, Seth Feroce mentioned that ‘you should be struggling to complete the last set’ of leg extensions in this particular routine.
After following it up with high-rep sets of lying leg curls, they went on to perform barbell squats. Seth Feroce started the workout with 135lbs for the first set and eventually worked his way up to 315lbs.
Feroce and company worked the hamstrings with the Westside inverse hamstring curls machine before performing leg press. However, Feroce advised to ‘pyramid up’ the weight for each set of leg press and warned against getting too comfortable with moderate weights for maximum benefits.
After three sets of walking lunges with a barbell, the trio finished the workout with leg extensions and leg curls. However, technique was the focus this time and not volume. Seth Feroce advised to hold the top position for three seconds in each rep of these workouts and the volume was reduced to 20 reps per set.
Seth Feroce admitted that the workout was very different as well as extremely productive and closed the video.
