- Rest approximately 30–60 seconds between each exercise set.
- Perform each exercise in a controlled manner, through a full range of motion.
- When applicable, perform an equal number of exercise repetitions with each leg to avoid the development of muscle imbalances.

Or if unable to achieve moderate to maximal muscular fatigue following the completion of 12 exercise repetitions through a full range of motion, decrease rest time between exercise sets or increase repetitions.
- Perform each exercise a minimum of 3 times per week for maximum results.
