GQ staffer Clay Skipper tried a round of split squats and calf raises with the trainer of the New York Red Bulls.GQ staff writer Clay Skipper has attempted to stop an NHL slap shot, score a free kick against an MLS goalie, and beat an NBA player in a three-point contest. But in the latest episode of Above Average Joe, Skipper has a (slightly) easier task: emulating the leg workout of a professional athlete.
With the help of New York Red Bulls strength and conditioning coach Adam Rotchstein, Skipper targets the four pillars of leg day: power, strength, stability, and mobility.
