wasnt that a great way to train? let's see, get your quads really really tired by going to failure with a non-productive exercise so that when you get to one of the grand daddy of all productive exercises you have enough strength to use weights on par with what Miley Cyrus might use! so your quads get burnt to a crisp with lactic acid buildup but your hams, glutes and all the other muscles involved in squatting get taxed for dick!
oh but wait, i forgot, squats ARE a "quad" exercise! my mistake!
