Maximalist training with minimalist equipment has been my philosophy since I got back into training earlier this year. All I have is a heavy sand bag, a set of gymnastics rings and a set of bands. And I'm doing pretty good with just that.
i used to have a perfect measured setup that allowed me to do nordics and reverse nordics supersetted. had bands hanging from the ceiling and had spots marked off with tape to help me move my equipment to the same location each time. actually made leg gains during the coogh when i only had up to 35lbs dumbells.
@@aegypiusmonachus its suprisingly tiring. mentally youre like "oh its band assisted calisthenics" but theyre both lengthened biased and poorly leveraged.
Glass knee here! I hurt my knees a few years ago due to massive overuse of 1-2 movements over the course of a decade. Since then, literally any dipping of my toes back into the knee flexion world makes my knees tighten up immediately. This includes the level 0 knees over toes stuff. Tried out band assisted Nordica this morning with an extremely small range of motion pain free! Very cool stuff. I like how it feels like I'm gaining mobility at the same time as getting a big stretch on my quads.
Great vid. Hope Milo sees it and makes a reply bc its actually extremely important context for his audience, any advanced bodybuilders with large upper bodies especially.
Love them. But had to do a lot of playing around with leg positioning. I strained my recfem mutliple times using this exercise. Solution was to do them very narrow and "push the knees forward" when coming down.
Yeah, position matters a lot especially at first. I had to use a narrower stance when I started to. I found that as I got more acclimated I could go wider to get more depth, but definitely go with what's least straining at first.
Honestly presses. Probably the biggest contributors were standing strict press, Seated strict press that's more of a high incline and close grip bench press, although dips and decline push ups also contribute.
The ankle issue is my big stumbling block at starting these, the position just makes me feel like I'm trying to break my own ankles. With Spanish Squats I was amazed at how much they burn with just bodyweight even.
Honestly sissy squats and leg extensions are both solid ways to eventually progress to reverse nordics. But like you said it's good that he brought it up as an amazing hypertrophy exercise because if you can do it properly then it's definently superior to the leg extensions.
Just hit a PB of 16 bodyweight head touch reps. Finding this to be a really great, surprisingly intense quad builder. Now thinking about starting to work towards adding weight for this movement, how would you approach that?
A comment on the upcoming program. Do you find high axial loading a problem as an advanced lifter using minimal equipment? Im sure actually exercises like reverse nordics are a great help to train legs with way less axial loading.

I really want to like the reverse Nordics but I get pain in my left knee even with bands. Then I’m like the leg extension machine is right there and is this really worth the slightly higher increase in quad gains. It doesn’t feel like a productive set due to the knee pain. I sometimes feel it a bit in squats but with these it just keeps flaring up.
@@atlaspowershrugged I have. I got pretty decent at them when my gym closed a few years back when a certain disease rolled around. Since then I just did my knee extension movement on leg extensions but I think they’re due for a comeback.
Guys like Atlaspower, RoS and KoTG are so underrated. Man I don't know how to explain, but my strength has RISEN immediately to some other level when I started doing all these forgotten stuff. Best squats I've ever seen and done - ZECHER!
Man i admire your strength and flexibility but exercises like that and others like the behind the back snatch bend like movement and others like that its only for certain people with certain genetics and body composition and basically are performance movements match more than hypertrophy or functional movements i understand that its your type of content but they are very high risk to do them especially to progress on them 👍

That's actually a genius superset.

Putting a resistance band around your neck is not a good idea.
No way is he a qualified trainer!
@@giovannisoave9634 my hands woiuld go between the bands and my neck. its not a problem
@@penumbramine Safer under your armpits. Ask any qualified instructor.

I won't hold my breath, but thanks!
I never even knew that was possible what a super duper amazing exercise great for leg flexibility, strength and coordination.
Always did Pedulum Sissy squats without problems, but these always gave me knee pain. I hope your tips help
I also found Sissys an easier entry point. Sissys helped build my knees for these more gently, but these helped build my range for Sissys

Very interesting stuff about the resistance going down on the pike. I'll try that!
The concept of pushing into a range is something I’ve never consciously played with. Feels obvious in retrospect.
It's a different type of training than the typical bodybuilding. I got it from Range of Strength
Awesome video. Never tried these before, looking forward to giving it a try.
Ease into them! Fantastic exercise though!
Nice weighted reverse nordic, dude
Dude, how did you get your front delts that jacked
Honestly presses. Probably the biggest contributors were standing strict press, Seated strict press that's more of a high incline and close grip bench press, although dips and decline push ups also contribute.
Jacked and tan. You got any tips for getting sun besides linear progression?
Just that. Start tanning before summer to avoid burning. Do computer work outside on a laptop if possible.
@@atlaspowershrugged Thanks, big dog. Keep up the quality content. 👍

Tib raises will help a lot. And just sitting in Seiza whenever you're on the ground.
Ah, the video ive been waiting for

Nice! I think holding a bar in the goblet position is easiest.
Nice quads Freddie

Have you tried Sissy Squats? The freedom to change angles really helps make it easier on the knees. You can band those too.

One does not simply walk into reverse nordics!
Why not isometrics?
That could be a good option if your knees are already jacked up!
Why do you think nba players without shoes are useless
Because putting a resistance band around your neck is a good idea.
No way are you a qualified trainer!

How is it high risk to do with an appropriate load? I didn't say you should go for a 1rm.
