In this video I will be taking you through a quad workout for strength using Vince Delmonte 7X7 Strength and Size solution.
Even though the video states that it is a workout for MMA fighters, the 7X7 program is for guys that want to pack on overall size and strength in 6 weeks.
You have probably completed the 5×5 strength developing exercise plan and the 10×10 size-building workout plan but have you ever tried intersecting the two rep ranges and performed 7 sets of 7 reps?
Many traditional bodybuilding or strength building programs have the 8-12 rep range in bodybuilding circles or 1-6 rep range in strength building circles. Rarely, if ever, do you see an intersection of the two rep ranges colliding.
Vince’s program is where size building meets strength-building and it’s the foundation of the7×7 Size & Strength Solution.7X7 Quad WorkoutClick HERE to get 7X7 Size and Strength Solution only $73 Leg Exercises in the 7X7 Quad WorkoutBarbell Squats – Squats are great for strength building because of the weight loaded on the entire body.
Barbell Lunge – Lunge exercises show not only how strong you are but the muscular balance between your knee muscles (quads, hamstrings) vs. your hip muscles (glutes, hip flexors)
Bulgarian Split Squats – This exercise targets the quads, glutes and soleus muscles and will help to build strength and stability in both legs.

You’ve done 10×10… you’ve done 5×5… but watch what happens when you intersect the two rep ranges and exploit the power of 7. It’s not a random number nor is it gimmickry, it’s a strong-based protocol that will get you big and strong — and it’s one of my few programs that can be used by beginners and advanced trainees alike.
Here is the logic behind the magic number 7:
Analyze the science behind rep selection and you’ll discover that 1-6 reps is for building relative strength, 6-8 reps is for functional hypertrophy, 9-12 reps is for hypertrophy and 13-20 reps is for strength endurance. Of course there is always overlap but there is always a dominant training effect.
If you look at many traditional bodybuilding or strength building programs, you’ll notice a lot of favouritism to the 8-12 rep range in bodybuilding circles or 1-6 rep range in strength building circles. Rarely, if ever, do you see an intersection of the two rep ranges colliding.
Until today…
That realization was my inspiration behind the magic of the seventh rep. It’s where size-building meets strength-building and it’s the foundation of The 7×7 Size & Strength Solution.
The seventh rep falls just outside of the realm of what would be considered a pure strength-building program and just below the lower end for protocols favoring size and mass.
You’ll find that seven reps is low and heavy enough for getting you super strong but also light enough to create fatigue and stress within a muscle, the key ingredients for promoting size.

Manual which includes more on the science and logic of the 7 sets of 7. You’ll learn why my success with the 5×5 and 10×10 program influenced7x7 and why I believe this is one of the most innovative training systems to build size and strength, simultaneously.

Over 2-hours of INSTRUCTIONAL DVD’s – I wasn’t going to do this but I invited in four of our own students to go through the entire program and you’ll get to learn all the intricacies and watch me optimize their technique, which will be an excellent learning experience.

EXERCISE DESCRIPTIONS, TIPS AND MORE VERSIONS BELOW
Pure Elite SPARTANS ONLY!
1. Barbell Jump Squats – 135lbs – 10 repsJump Squat will help your Explosive Power. You must understand that just by increasing your strength will not lead you to increase power and explosiveness. The strength has to be applied rapidly which is the Rate of Force Development (RFD). Your glutes, hamstrings, quads and calves will get a workout. This is the most important aspect of jumping, sprinting, takedowns, striking and increasing your vertical jump.
2. Forward-Reverse DB Lunges – 35lbs – 10 reps per side
The Forward and Reverse Lunge is an awesome unilateral quad-dominate exercise that strengthens the inner thighs as well (Ladies). This exercise is also helps with Glute development
3. Explosive DB Flying Step Ups – 25lbs – 10 reps per side
The explosive dumbbell step up is an effective exercise for developing your quads, glutes and calves. This plyometric version of the step up will develop explosive power in the legs as well as good balance and coordination.
4. Trap Bar Deadlifts – 200lbs – 10 repsNot only was the trap bar deadlift a safer exercise than the straight bar version, it was also a more effective exercise for building maximum power. Since the trap bar configuration allows you to step inside it rather than behind it, the long lever is shortened along a horizontal axis, thus significantly reducing the amount of sheer force on the spine. Greater levels of peak force, velocity, and power can be produced with the trap bar and since power is a measure of an object’s force times its velocity, this means the trap bar deadlift allows you to lift more weight, over a greater distance, faster
5. DB Stiffed Legged Deadlift – 25lbs – 10 reps
No matter how you put it, this is a hamstring killer. Not an exercise that I would suggest if you have lower back problems but one of the most effective hamstring exercises you can do.
6. Bench Runs – 10 reps per side
I love this cardio and speed exercise that really gets the heart rate pumping right in the middle of this workout. Helping you to build speed, agility, balance, co-ordination and quickness
7. DB Meet the Queen Lunges – 35lbs – 10 reps per sideThis is an odd movement that everyone seems to miss, but when you are training your body for strength and fat loss, you have to train on all plains of motion. The Meet the Queens (or extended curtsey) targets your glutes, thighs, adductor and abductors.
8. Pistol Squats – 10 reps 5 per side
The Pistol or One Legged Squat is the king/queen of lower-body exercises. The Barbell Squat has nothing on this bad boy. The pistol squat requires great balance, leg strength, flexibility and coordination. You can build up your leg strength without worrying about injuring your back like with a regular back squats.
9. Bench Hip Bridge – 10 reps
The Glute Bridge is a critical exercise you should be using as the primary glutes builder. This exercise delivers a high dose of Glute activity throughout the entire range of motion. The glute bridge allows you to move a ton of weight and hammers the largest muscles in the body, including the glutes, the hamstrings, the adductor magnus, and even the quadriceps, albeit from an isometric contraction.
For Combat athletes, this is a must exerciser in your training to help with Bridging, grappling escapes and glutes power, ladies this should be number one in your arsenal for building sexy butts and guys, chicks love men with hard bums. So check yourself, before you wreck yourself!
10. Med Ball Jump Squats – 35lbs – 10 reps
The medicine ball squat jump exercise is great exercise to improve your speed and power. The Jump squats with a medicine ball not only strengthens the legs, core muscles and arms but it also burns calories too adding a killer knockout to the circuit
