Garage Style, Drop Set, Legs… probably the most BRUTAL leg workout, it finished ME! Ryan’s programs are the best $40 I’ve spent on myself. His YT videos are a bonus.
This just shows how complicated the fitness industry is right now. Ryan has papers and studies backing him up about stretching the muscles to get best growth and not doing the same exercises everytime for more growth, and yet there are other fitness instructors who also have papers and studies that say the exact opposite. Maybe everyone's right or everyone's wrong I have no clue
thats right bud and ive been trying to apply his routine and a constant one just to know which routine makes the most effect to my body. anyways, it is all in the form and almost mostly in diet.
As a PT with many years of experience I can say this guy knows his stuff and provides facts. Everything in this video I have used for years, especially with athletes after an ACL tear and works great. I like using the last 30def before TKE to target the VMO.
God bless you. PT students were my lab assistance in gross anatomy. You guys are phenomenal and i would argue you guys know anatomy better than the med students
The details that make your videos extraordinary. The ones that explain how and why, but then the ones that make me laugh throughout the whole video 😂 As always, good one 👏
Yes!!! Thank you for this. I've been saying some of this for years, just must less elegantly. I'm 6'5", and have disproportionately long legs. The way I load my legs changes depending not just on the type of movement, but the angle/rotation of the various axis points of my legs. If you haven't, I'd love to see a video about MSK through the upper leg, and deep core. Relating to how we maximize the efficiency of strength through MSK balance, especially in men.
@@hectorzero8545 Muscular Skeletal Balance. If for example you have two legs that move differently, it could be from an imbalance in the hips that needs to be corrected. A lot of tall males get bad advice on squat form for example, and end up messing up their deep core, and hips forcing a form that doesn't work for them.
@@Jorge-vw4ub try to keep your chest pointed up, and brace your core while dropping your hips straight down. Also joint mobility makes a huge difference, especially ankles, and hip.
all facts. I was involved in a motorcycle accident that left me with a full pcl tear on my left knee. My biokineticist said i need strong quads now more than ever to support the knee. Naturally obsessed over that and she told me when doing leg extensions to point my foot outward to hit the tear drop and point my foot inward tto hit the outtersweep. works like a charm.
This man saved my entire life, applied his workouts on my workouts and I grew a lot in 5-6 weeks. (With a lot i mean what I find a lot, I can clearly see a difference)
Vectors- lines of forces- tissues are subservient responders to forces- and for the glute: finally someone else has spoken on putting that muscle on length- other thing would be to reach the hand across the stance leg- the glute fibers are in symmetrical line with opposite latissimus dorsi- think skating patterns with opposite arm reaching- hockey players have huge glutes and VMO for a reason- subservient responders to the line of force applied
Not smart enough to call bs on what you say but your humor in ur vids indicates passion for what you do. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned in work in any field is pay attention to the guy who is most passionate About his art, not necessarily the one who’s most “qualified”
Love your videos. Always informative and full of high capacity gym humor. Been working out for about 10 years and It's awesome to learning from your content! Much appreciated my man!
Thanks so much!!? Everything I got came from a physical therapy perspective for people who had weak Quads overall. Ive been dealing with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome as my Vastus Lateralis has grown notlicibly but mot so much the VMO. Tweaking my leg workout in this manner has really helped a lot.
Awesome Video as always. The medial part of the Quads works especially the last 30° of knee extension. So: if you just explode out of the flexion, you will build more of the other 3 parts. Because by that you accelerate the weight and than skip the working-radius of the medial head. Especially in the simple Leg Extension you should go up slow (3-4 sec) till FULL ROM (weight has to be light enough so you can reach the same maximum extension like you would without weight) !!! Do it, and you will feel your medial part much much more. It also keeps your knee "healthier" because the medial head is the only one that centers your patella to the inside - which is very Importen.
I'm turning on all notifications!!! Nothing like a comedic approach when teaching. Reminds me of that chill as all hell 7th Grade science teacher who made his class the highlight of my day. Now you're the highlight of my RUclips.
your stuff is without a doubt THE best on YT. straight to the point, funny as hell and CORRECT. when I'm telling people about how they should learn real deal bodybuilding I point them to your channel
This is the best training presentational video I have watch in a long time. Amusing, interesting, engaging and informative all at the same. Excellent. 👏👏👏👏👏
Did martial arts before I got into lifting. Spent a lot of time in 'horse stance' with the knees pushed over the toes (shins parallel not ^ shaped) my lateral head are still huge. Once I started lifting and a lot of squats did the tear drop start coming in. So they absolutely respond to different stimulus.
Love everything you say, subscribing now! When lying hamstring curling, I get into full contraction, then shake off my foot loosening up my gastroc, I do this every 3-4 reps, my gastrocs are super over active from my skater years.
Thank you for explaining this. I've actually been doing the toe pointing thing doing hamstring curl and leg extension for years and didn't know what was happening. Just knew one was harder.
Ryan has caused me INTENSE leg pain for two plus years now. I used to hate leg day. Now I hate it more. But I love it more too. I work legs now with such “connection” that at the end of my sesh (ya…I’m 64 and I just said Sesh…haha) I need my wife to get my cane so we can walk out of the gym. My F-250 doesn’t have a running board and it sometimes takes me two attempts to hop in after leg day. So. Yeah. Ryan. You are a real pain in my glutes. But I love you man.
Ryan, you probably won’t see this because you get so Many comments on your videos but I have a few good things to say. I love your take on your videos. Muscle connection is sooo important when lifting. And it’s so easy to get distracted in the gym. I’ve been lifting 5x/week for 11 years, have competed in many powerlifting competitions and done a number of programs. But yours is so much different than the rest and actually produces results. I’ve gained about 15lbs since listening to your words and program. I might of have looked really fucking weird doing it but who gives a shit what other people think. Highly recommend any advanced lifter try out Ryans programs
Plantarflexion during leg curls is gold. I agree, by taking the stretch out of gastroc, it cannot assist in knee flexion. Muscles are strongest from a stretched position (but not too stretched) and definitely not from a contracted position. Makes perfect sense!
Just wanna leave my two cents (gratitude more so) here for you Ryan, I’ve been bingeing your videos and building workouts using your techniques and dieting advice for the past 3 months. Started at 200.1lbs at 5’10” and peeled all the way to 177lbs and am slowly adding muscle back up. I’m up about 5lbs this month in mass and have added an inch to my arms, 2” to chest and legs have been the slowest. Just found this video, so if it’s like anything else you’ve made, results can be expected. Thank you for the effort you put into these videos
Even though these are a killer exercises for your legs, a workout alone wouldn't make any noticeable results if isn't combined with a structured diet aligned with your goals. You need quality nutrients in exact portions to make sure your body will regenerate all these damaged muscle tissues and not store unnecessary fat in the process. I'm following Next Level Diet fat loss meal plan for 6 weeks and Im more than happy with the results so far. I feel that Im getting stronger and I have more energy.
That plantar and dorsiflexion talk about the gastrocnemius affecting your ability to generate force is super interesting. I've started doing Jiu Jitsu recently and they advised us not to point our toes when we have someone in a triangle choke and I wondered why until now. Super cool video I don't think I've seen more informative and well explained exercise videos.
You are absolutely right I used to work out and turn my legs in a different I will have more pain the next day on one side of my leg the next week I would do the opposite and have more pain on the other side of my leg. I applied this squats working my calves working my shoulders and my arms. Trust me my workout with much-improved.
It’s all about how it feels. I can definitely feel my quads shift in area tension depending on how I angle my legs during leg extensions. Proper form, lighter weight(build up to heavier weight of course), and high volume. No doubt this is true. You can feel it if you workout 😂
Ryan is out here not only doing graduate-level work, but making it entertaining and available to the masses. Somebody please just give him a doctorate degree! Good Lord. Academia is so damn arrogant.
i have so many things that have worked for me but i can’t seem to explain them with science right now they’re under “bro science “ until i can back them up with facts. great video
Could you plz make a video about the difference between Natural vs steroids athletes training session sets, reps, lenght how heavy should natural go. Thnk u for your awsome videos
I’ve subscribed to this recently and was probably one of the best ideas I’ve had in a long time. It is so good to hear someone say what needs to be said. You have really changed my way of looking at gym work. And I’ve been doing this (now I know really shitty) long time. So cheers dude. Much appreciated and keep up the brilliant work you do. P.s. it’s easier to take these shitty, shit my pants workouts with some classic humour! Cheers. P.p.s that is the correct way to spell humour 😬

I just RANDOMLY came across your video and it's BY far THE BEST!! VERY INFORMATIVE and the humor is spot on! I won't even fast forward through any of your videos.. it's just th@ GOOD! Keep it up RH!
Dude! I laughed my ASS off during this entire, very educational video. Bought your full 30-day workout, did all the exercises in this video, can barely sit. Almost threw up on the Hack Squat and feel like you’re who content creators wish to be when they grow up. Fucking amazing work 🎉
your jokes got better and tigthened up the language just a bit from earlier ones i'd seen of you. still gritty and manly and funny, but a better quality these days in my opinion. great job.
I love that you use actual research. I also love how you taped them to the wall and threw the rest of the papers at it 🤣🤣🤣 the best. Thank you for the office joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much for all these videos bro. I'm buying anything you put out even if I don't follow it to a T, I support 100 percent what you're doing 💪 I aspire to be more like you brother 👍
Something you didn't mentionned with hamstrings is that by externaly rotating the foot you engage the biceps femoris (outer hamstring) more and with internal rotation you inhibit the biceps femoris therefore working the semimembranosus and the semitendinosus (inner hamstring) more.
The gastrocnemius crosses over the knee joint so dorsey flexing the ankle puts tension on the entire calf assisting the curl. When the ankle is plantar flexed and the knee is bent at the same time, this shortens/disengages the gastrocnemius, leaving the soleus alone to plantar flex the ankle. Since the gastrocnemious is basically turned off, this completely isolates the hamstring.
This is actually one of Ryan's "longer" videos and it's not even long at all lol. This dude broke down the factual science, why he doesn't agree, a solid workout, and funny nutsack jokes all in a matter of 11 minutes. Ryan Humiston is GOATed. 🐐
I do physiotherapy for my knee where I do a half wall sit meaning my depth is not all the way down to 90° and this strengthens the inside muscle above the knee so basically he’s right lol
I seriously hope Ryan makes more workout programs cause I’d keep buying them. All great programs. Ryan pretty much explained this like a religious person that would throw the Bible at a non believer head 😂
Just finished my first week of Ryan’s full gym program. I’m thoroughly enjoying it so far even though I have never been so sore in my life! Great stuff Ryan!
Anyone who quotes Willy Wonka and sounds like a college professor at the same time is the Best in my book! I like this longer video,..felt like I got bonus footage. Keep it coming 👊
I promise you could make a 30 mins video and I’ll sit and watch the whole thing. However, I love how you ALWAYS give so much with little time. I tried the leg curls and ouch the burn feels like gains 😊
Bro, that is some next-level storytelling. I have never seen anyone making fitness educational videos so engaging and easy to understand. Well done man!
broooo is awesome at explaining things, and i never get bored, always learning something new and getting a good laugh out of his jokes. Much love keep growing
I was doing leg curls 2 days ago with my feet in every different position possible because my hamstrings are garbage. pointing my toes away killed me and also included calves a ton more
I am that biology major student who shadow box’s in the corner of the gym dreaming of being a bit more muscular… how is this man so spot on EVERY TIME 😂😂😂
Ryan, I don't know if it is the Army side of me that enjoys the pure, raw language or just the fact that you make it flow so smoothly that you have to say "wait WTF did he just say? Oh HAHAHA, got it". Appreciate the humor and guidance at the same time.
Can we appreciate the fact that he went through actual pain to give us gym advice?
Ah, NA!
He did it cos he loves it.. its not pain to him...
He done it for himself just let us join him

Are you new here? Things have always been this way
I do this on a Monday. Why? Becasue if anyone is going to ruin my week, its me.... So miserable.
Now That’s pretty good
That’s the spirit.

Just wait until you do the gym program..
Hacksquat routine that will take your soul….
Oh god, that one had me walking like a freaking duck for a week afterwards. This man has helped me build muscle like no other.
Agree 100% Never felt soreness like that in my life!!!
These comments feel like bots posting them but soreness and having muscle pain for week is not efficient way to build muscle
you have honestly become one of my fav ppl to come watch on youtube. your humor reminds me of how the world. used to be. i thank you good sir.

thats right bud and ive been trying to apply his routine and a constant one just to know which routine makes the most effect to my body. anyways, it is all in the form and almost mostly in diet.
And also depends on the methodology, if the reasoning is invalid or not, etc.
honestly don’t think it matters a lot. just getting in the gym everyday will have the biggest gains

Thank you so much for all these videos bro. I'm buying anything you put out even if I don't follow it to a T, I support 100 percent what you're doing 💪
I aspire to be more like you brother 👍
This is the single best video you have ever done.
Something you didn't mentionned with hamstrings is that by externaly rotating the foot you engage the biceps femoris (outer hamstring) more and with internal rotation you inhibit the biceps femoris therefore working the semimembranosus and the semitendinosus (inner hamstring) more.
The gastrocnemius crosses over the knee joint so dorsey flexing the ankle puts tension on the entire calf assisting the curl. When the ankle is plantar flexed and the knee is bent at the same time, this shortens/disengages the gastrocnemius, leaving the soleus alone to plantar flex the ankle. Since the gastrocnemious is basically turned off, this completely isolates the hamstring.
This is actually one of Ryan's "longer" videos and it's not even long at all lol. This dude broke down the factual science, why he doesn't agree, a solid workout, and funny nutsack jokes all in a matter of 11 minutes. Ryan Humiston is GOATed. 🐐
It's just nice for men to have an actual man to discuss this, like dudes really talk at the gym, and not worried about 'feelings'.
I do physiotherapy for my knee where I do a half wall sit meaning my depth is not all the way down to 90° and this strengthens the inside muscle above the knee so basically he’s right lol
you can tell your really passionate about lifting, so much knowledge distributed hilariously, thanks for the laughs and the gains.
I seriously hope Ryan makes more workout programs cause I’d keep buying them. All great programs. Ryan pretty much explained this like a religious person that would throw the Bible at a non believer head 😂
Ryan, you are something else man. Bridging the gap between muscle and science is perfect
Just finished my first week of Ryan’s full gym program. I’m thoroughly enjoying it so far even though I have never been so sore in my life! Great stuff Ryan!
Wait till you see fourth week legs LOL
Anyone who quotes Willy Wonka and sounds like a college professor at the same time is the Best in my book! I like this longer video,..felt like I got bonus footage. Keep it coming 👊
I promise you could make a 30 mins video and I’ll sit and watch the whole thing. However, I love how you ALWAYS give so much with little time. I tried the leg curls and ouch the burn feels like gains 😊
The PPL program is a beast. Highly suggest you all spend the $20 and start hating everyone around you at the gym. Clutch program
Bro, that is some next-level storytelling. I have never seen anyone making fitness educational videos so engaging and easy to understand. Well done man!
broooo is awesome at explaining things, and i never get bored, always learning something new and getting a good laugh out of his jokes. Much love keep growing
I was doing leg curls 2 days ago with my feet in every different position possible because my hamstrings are garbage. pointing my toes away killed me and also included calves a ton more
Much Gratitude
Brilliant work Ryan. Thank you.
I've been following you for year and this is the best video you've ever posted.
I am that biology major student who shadow box’s in the corner of the gym dreaming of being a bit more muscular… how is this man so spot on EVERY TIME 😂😂😂
I have been, and will continue to love the Jeff’s…but Ryan is my new favorite
Bro you're hilarious every of the times.
Ryan, I don't know if it is the Army side of me that enjoys the pure, raw language or just the fact that you make it flow so smoothly that you have to say "wait WTF did he just say? Oh HAHAHA, got it". Appreciate the humor and guidance at the same time.
dude you are brilliantly hilarious. You're just as funny as you are educational.
best explainer & analogy builder i've seen in this genre of youtube
