Powerbuilding your legs through several muscle-building and cardio workout plans may be your ticket to getting those rad looking legs the proper way.

The way to powerbuilding your legs

Powerbuilding your legs can give you the edge over strength and endurance to keep you in the winning edge. One of the best powerbuilding leg workouts out there is bulldozer training, that gives you a full range of routines that integrate light, medium and heavy loads during the workout program.

Power workout

Start out with a heavy compound lift that increases activity in the central nervous system to improve strength, as well as give you the confidence to move heavy loads. The compound lift starts with 15 reps over 5 sets and add increments of 2.5 to 5 lbs as you move on to the next few days.

After the initial sets, do a back off set to decrease the working weight by 20 percent and perform as many quality reps as possible. Then you proportionally increase the working weight by 2.5 to 10 pounds after each of the next 15 rep goals.

When you’re done with the main compound lift, do your rest-pause sets for the rest of the workout with your rests every 15 to 60 seconds between each set.

Rest and recovery

A powerbuilding workout plan can give you the best motivation you need to keep you going, but of course, with every hardcore workout comes a moment of rest otherwise you can’t get anything out of it.

Make sure to also get enough sleep, at a minimum of 8 hours no less to help the muscles get to a proper recovery mode.

Below is a lift and rest schedule;

Early-intermediate lifters – perform the routine in alternate days – Push A/Rest/Pull A/Rest/Legs A/Rest/Push B/Rest/Pull B/ Rest/Legs B/Rest/Repeat

Intermediate lifters – perform the routine in a 3-on/1-off pattern – Push A/Pull A/Legs A/Rest/Push B/ Pull B/Legs B/Rest/Repeat

Advanced lifters – perform the routine in a 6-on/1-off pattern – Push A/Pull A/Legs A/Push B/ Pull B/Legs B/Rest/Repeat

The Importance of nutrition and supplementation

It is always important to factor in diet and supplementation to be able to get enough good mass into your muscles and to also ensure that you maintain your muscles at its peak health and growth.

It is recommended to have at least 3500 calories a day if you maintain the same physical routines day in and day out to help out with sustenance and nutrition. Follow the high calorie diet plan below, where supplementation and formulas are included.
