Blood Volume (quad) — the program's signature superset.
Execution
Twenty leg extensions to failure, then ten squats within ten seconds of finishing the leg extensions. The pre-exhausted quads make even a submaximal bar devastating — and force the quads to keep working when they'd normally hand off to the hips. Brutal by design.
The cue that matters
Move straight from the extension to the bar — the ten-second window is the point; rest and you've lost the pre-exhaust.
Common mistake
Treating the squat half as a strength set; it's there to finish quads that are already cooked, so keep it controlled and quad-focused.
