Here is my quad and glute-focused leg day:

1️⃣ Pendulum squat, 3×10 reps, training near to failure on every set
2️⃣ Leg press, 3x approx 15 reps. Usually I take a 3 minute break between working sets, but on the last set of leg press I only take a minute break and go right into…
3️⃣ Smith machine reverse lunges, 2 sets to near failure
4️⃣ Machine abduction, 3×15 reps

Two major reasons why people screw up their rear delt training:

1️⃣ They squeeze their shoulder blades together when in fact they should be reaching to the entire range of motion. Think about keeping the wrists away from the shoulders the entire time you’re pulling. Squeezing your shoulder blades together is great for your lats and mid back muscles, not so much for your rear delts.

2️⃣ They don’t train their rear delts intensely enough. You should be going for broke when doing lateral raises or reverse flies. Your deltoids can train to nearly the brink of failure. You need to push yourself when doing these exercises.

Client spotlight: Michael Calbi @mcalbi721 is a coaching client on @getverb and he also trains in person with me twice a week. He lost 42lbs in 6 months working with me. Here’s what he had to say about the experience:

“My son was born last June, and I distinctly remember looking at a picture of us at the Jersey shore on family vacation in August and I was not happy with how I looked or felt at the time. The ‘dad bod’ was in full force and I wasn’t ready to accept that. A friend of mine recommended Jake and the rest was history. He told me, ‘I want you to be there when your son is getting married.’ That hit me hard considering my father passed away when I was 14 years old. I stuck to my calories, busted my ass training with him twice a week and did the rest on my own.

If you want results this is a complete no brainer. They will come. The accountability of daily check ins and tracking what I ate made things simple and proved you don’t have to starve yourself to drop some weight. 42lbs later I had to get my belts all adjusted because my waist shrunk to a point I didn’t think I would be back at. This isn’t just some personal trainer who is trying to make a quick buck from you, he truly cares about all his clients and someone I now consider a friend.”
