After appearing on Mark Bell’s Power Project, we began to receive some question regarding controversial claims made by Doug Brignole. So we invested in Doug’s full product to provide an informed review and opinion.
In this portion of the review, Kassem covers the mathematical problems with Doug’s physics models and provides important context abut evaluating exercises on more than just a single point in a resistance curve.
Towards the end there is a chart scoring popular quad exercises like the hack squat, pendulum squat, heel elevated squat, barbell squat, quad dominant leg press, and Doug’s Brig-20 quad exercises, the leg extension, cable sissy squat and cable squat.
Everyone probably knows by now that we are fans of the leg extension, especially the Prime Fitness leg extension. But you will have to watch the video to see Kassem’s evaluation and ranking of the cable sissy squat and cable squat compared to the other quadricep exercises.
At the end of the day physics is a valuable metric that should be included in the thought process of exercise selection and programming choices. However if you are not doing the physics properly, you may end up making poor decisions.

After taking our training analysis quiz, you’ll have a long-term plan constructed for you. Your plan will consist of several Phases. Each Phase will present you with a few suggested programs to pick from. Each time you complete a program, you’ll move on to the next Phase and a new set of programs to select from.
This allows flexibility in the split and type of program you can choose, while we strategically periodize the stimulus you’re getting to keep making consistent progress without neglecting any weak links.
For example, a long-term plan with the goal of muscle gain will still occasionally include systemic conditioning or dedicated local metabolic work to keep your recovery capacity high (so you can grow and perform better during your hypertrophy-focused programs).
