"Friends don't let friends skip leg day." The first rule of Leg Day is: You do not skip leg day. The second rule of Leg Day is: You do *NOT* skip Leg Day. Third rule of Leg Day: Someone yells stop, goes limp, taps out, the set is over. Fourth rule: only one guy to a set. Fifth rule: one set at a time, fellas. Sixth rule: shirts are okay; flat shoes are a plus. Seventh rule: Leg Day will go on as long it has to to produce gains. And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first time doing Leg Day, you have to do squats.
***** No argument with you there, I totally am, but what about my comment is douchey? I was mixing in a standard weightlifting joke with a Fight Club reference... Enlighten me, please.
***** Again, I accept my flaws, I'm just looking for ways to improve myself. Please, man, since you're obviously not a douchebag, help a guy out. How can I make a non-douchey, actually funny post on youtube?
Steve! Your vids are truly great! The honesty and the passion in your vids is something that inspires. I don't even need PWO after watching this! Keep it up and stay #Swoldier
Idk if its just me but just a suggestion, if you could a few times a week show what your meals consist of? Almost like a vlog of the day but just meals and your workout? Motivates me and keeps me on track when I see you giving nutrition examples :) thanks Steve
exactly. i like the feeling of pain for some reason. i actually hate training a bodypart that does not get sore or painful. well, except for my traps though. the pain from shrugs is just annoying
u dont see many fitness models who are flexible enough to touch their toes with straight legs. Clearly ur training partner is very useful at helping you keep ur body in good condition
converse, unlike ur traditional nike and new balance running shoes, have a completely flat bottom and isn't arched. it promotes pushing through ur heels more, leading to more quad and overall leg engagement.
Hey Steve, have you ever tried flexing the glutes (pelvic thrust almost) when you're up on the concentric motion in your squats? If so whats your thoughts on it? and would recommend it?
I wish the camera man would show us more of the legs during the squat so we can see the form, the tight shots of steve's torso (while much appreciated) leave me guessing to the form.
STEVE! I HEARD STRETCHING BEFORE WORKING OUT WEAKENS THE MUSCLE LEAVING ABOUT 30% WEAKER THAN IT WAS PRE-STRETCH! PERHAPS JUST WARMING UP IS BEST FOR LEGS?
Shoulder press in the squat rack? i know you threw him off haha Another great video, keep em coming! and Swoldier T's all the way need to get some UK rep going on!
you might be using too much weight. when you squat, do u tend to lean forwards slightly as you come back up. I do this when i have too much weight on the bar and its a sign that im going too heavy if i cant keep good form
Keep your head up, but keep it neutral with the spine. You should be looking at yourself in the mirror, but you shouldn't be looking up at the ceiling.
+AllTheGo0dNamesRGone from my experience they are not really good at all, i much prefer squatting in a pair of nike free runs, they actually have comfy bottoms.
explain how converse effects your lower back when squatting? flat footed shoes are best to squat in, also the high top converses have a bit of ankle support.
I'm not a pro and definitely not as educated as Steve by I'm pretty sure hyper flexing in any workout (pelvic thrusts) isn't helpful and can lead to injury. That goes for squats and dead lifts.
i can touch my toes comfortably but i would say 60-70% of the people i know cant. i think if you tend to know more sporty people more of them will bed able to touch their toes. However, what i meant with my comment was that generally alot of people do weight training and dont stretch enough which causes their muscles to shorten and they lose flexibility, but clearly steve knows the importance of staying flexible
Do you realize the final frame with your name and Physical-Mental-Spiritual , actually spells PMS ? maybe you should consider changing the order. Lets face it Physical should come later anyway, because if you won't put your mind to it in the first place and aspire or have some direction or goals, it would be harder achieving them. All in all good work, good luck

BMoC legs were great! Been looking forward to a good change. You going to post these routines like you did with BMoC?
Can't believe I met you on Saturday! Your a beast Steve!
favorite video so far
Prior to the workouts/video, maybe show like the workout routine like the BMOC videos?
Hey Steve, have you ever tried flexing the glutes (pelvic thrust almost) when you're up on the concentric motion in your squats? If so whats your thoughts on it? and would recommend it?
cnt belive i met steveat the fit expo this past saturday awsome guy so much personality(:
Great vid Steve, when are you dropping your ab training?
I miss legday... legday was yesterday. Another 3 days untill next one:( Squats are fun once you get the hang of it :D
I wish the camera man would show us more of the legs during the squat so we can see the form, the tight shots of steve's torso (while much appreciated) leave me guessing to the form.
STEVE! I HEARD STRETCHING BEFORE WORKING OUT WEAKENS THE MUSCLE LEAVING ABOUT 30% WEAKER THAN IT WAS PRE-STRETCH! PERHAPS JUST WARMING UP IS BEST FOR LEGS?
Hey man it would be awsome if you maybe put the workout routine in box below.
Shoulder press in the squat rack? i know you threw him off haha Another great video, keep em coming! and Swoldier T's all the way need to get some UK rep going on!
it elevates your heels which allows you to go lower and get a better range of motion and i think focus on quads more
Ill def check it out. Best of luck man !
you might be using too much weight. when you squat, do u tend to lean forwards slightly as you come back up. I do this when i have too much weight on the bar and its a sign that im going too heavy if i cant keep good form
Before watching the video.. Instant "like" :P Good work Steve!
i was on the stair stepper warming up for my leg day watching this video. PUMPED!
WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MORE FREQUENT UPDATES IF POSSIBLE!!! JUST ADDICTED TO SWOLDIER ,,,, BIGG REQUEST
Good thing you kept your hoodie on. That girl would have lost her mind if she saw the gun show.
Were can i get a copy of his issue of Muscle and Fitness??? Ebay has nothing!
What kind of hoodie is that steve? You should do a lifestyle video where you take us through your wardrobe.
Anyone know what kind of hoodie he is wearing? Is it just a plain zip-up?
Really good job , this helps alot, keep up with good work :)
Talk about squat form please, correct spine allignment would call for head down and steve said head up... elaborate please?
Head up is proper squat form
Keep your head up, but keep it neutral with the spine. You should be looking at yourself in the mirror, but you shouldn't be looking up at the ceiling.
Correct, keeping your head forward not up is correct form. Looking up puts stress on your neck you don't want that.
i use leg-press ! Cannot do squats because i have scoliosis ! I tried doing them and the next day my back hurt like hell !
+Steve Cook What is using Converse Chuck Taylor's like?? I was thinking about getting them for my squats/leg days
Steve Cook
+AllTheGo0dNamesRGone from my experience they are not really good at all, i much prefer squatting in a pair of nike free runs, they actually have comfy bottoms.
+Auscricketjim this is by far the stupidest comment ever
SuperPhoReal please explain how so? i just gave my experience with the shoes, and how id rather squat in a comfier pair of shoes?
steve, where did you go to high school in boise?? Capital?
So do you recommend dynamic stretching?
were you really taking 60-90 second breaks between these squats?
AMAZING JOB !!
Someone help me here... When I do squats, my lower back starts hurting, it that because form, too much weight or some other thing? Thank you!
and bu the way bro,if i want to contact you (like E-mail or something) how can i do it ?:)

steve mann, you a beauty!
Awesome vide bro
Swoldier Nation all day. #TeamBabyPunch
steve you going to make any tshirts that say swoldier?
where is part two Steve - the link doest work
I am 6'1" and have some long ass legs. Really want to try putting those plates under my heels to see if it helps my squat.
more vids man! mooore!
IS THAT A SWOLDIER SHIRT YOU ARE WEARING??
Your lower back problem is from your converse. I know because I had the same problem. They have absolutely no support in them shoes.
explain how converse effects your lower back when squatting? flat footed shoes are best to squat in, also the high top converses have a bit of ankle support.
Best squat is bare feet, closest thing is converses
But yeah, if no issues on knees. Squat deep. Full rom will tear more of the quad up.
you should do a proper form series
When is PART 2 coming out? #DontLeaveSwoildersHanging
what is the name of your sweatshirts dude?
why do you stand on 2.5kg plates?
sweet jebus i love leg day!!
Motivation!
keep it up! off to lift legs! thank you!
Lol I always wonder what people think when I hobble on down the stairs like an old man, supporting myself on the rails as they pass. =P
Sets and reps? please, thanks :D
tried to have a training partner, but he was too negative and got tired after 2 exercises... now train better... whole lot better
Mimics the use of olympic lifting shoes. It raises your heels and biomechanicly sets your body differently.

What's the song at 11:38?
what brand belt are they using?
why no safety bar
what type of jacket is that
why dont you guys go atg?

Amino Energy from Optimum Nutrition
Chad is a chiropractor, for those who don't understand very well english
I'm not a pro and definitely not as educated as Steve by I'm pretty sure hyper flexing in any workout (pelvic thrusts) isn't helpful and can lead to injury. That goes for squats and dead lifts.

Hey man....seems like a lot of your training style emulates that of Dorian Yates. Any truth to this?
Hey Steve :)
Whom ever the video editor is, is doing hell of a good job.
Tell 'em Steve.
Who is still watching in 2019!
