Moving on, Lobliner’s leg day routine is structured around a four-day split. He emphasizes leg workouts, starting with hamstrings and calves to warm up, then progressing to quads. The key exercises in his routine included seated leg curls, pendulum squats, and hack squats. Lobliner opts for knee sleeves for warmth and compression, especially due to past knee issues. He also incorporates unilateral movements like Single Leg Romanian Deadlifts for balance and longevity.
