JUMP ROPE!poopscoop wrote:After searching, I was unable to find a decent leg workout thread with a focus on weightlifting. I am interested in more than simply passing the 12 mile road march; strong legs reduce risk of injury, increase running speed to a point, etc.
Do any Rangers have advice about a weight-oriented (Or not weight related, whichever you believe is best) leg workout to increase overall leg strength and endurance?
Also, I am a regular fixture at the gym, and would like to know what other weight routines would help prepare my body for the upcoming tests.
Leg workouts, specifically with weights

Re: Leg workouts, specifically with weights
Hoe many one legged body weight squats can you do ? Google pistol squats and get back to me after you have tried to do one.poopscoop wrote:
