Andrew Wallis demonstrating reverse Nordics and tantrums — two movements that challenge the re**us femoris to produce force quickly in loaded positions. This isn’t about max strength. It’s about training the brain-to-muscle pathway to fire faster, cleaner, and more efficiently.

This is how you build resilient, high-performing quads that transfer to real-world sport and performance.
