  • Alright let's go over the best leg workout for your PPL Split that will lead to some serious growth!
    Click Here to kick your own A** in the 30 Day Program click HERE (remember you’re only one handy away): bit.ly/3igtiIF
    So the biggest takeaway from this video is that you can always be pushing yourself harder.. Especially during a leg workout and it ins't about the weight you move, it's about your ability to stimulate that muscle and push it BEYOND failure. When you're hitting everything from Quads, Hamstrings, Glutes and Calves in one day then you know it's going to be a rough one!
    SSETS/REPS:
    Static Lunges: 4 Sets / 20 Reps Each Leg
    Step Ups: 4 Sets / 20 Reps Each Leg
    Low Bar Squat (Stay at the bottom): 3 Sets / 30 Reps
    Walking Lunges (Use same weight as the low bar squats): 3 Sets / Failure
    Dumbbell Stiffs (Let those dumbbells drift to increase the stretch): 4 Sets / 15-20
    Single Leg Calf Raise on Plate (4 way): 4 Sets / 15 Reps of each angle
    PUSH WORKOUT For SERIOUS GROWTH! (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps)
    • PUSH WORKOUT For SERIO...

    I did this today for the first time. It was pretty hard! After squats, I had nothing left and couldn’t do any lunges. Took me a total of 40 minutes. Had to beat my ego into submission just to do the insane rep ranges! Nice change of pace

    • @jacobjudy9049
      @jacobjudy9049 2 года назад +2

      40 minutes is extremely impressive. Took me 1 hour 47 minutes. I also did it after a full work day, but I don’t like excuses. I will be using crutches tomorrow and if I had a wheelchair it’d be that. I am convinced that you have been given a gift from the devil himself to create hellacious workouts. If I ever do this again, I will come prepared with a box of tissues and the finest tampons Walmart has to offer. My buttcheeks are so conflicted, it hurts to sit, but standing is much worse. I could’ve won a twerk contest doing the lowbar squats. My quads have been Dutch ovened. My hamstrings are pulled pork. My ego and all time low

    I think this is my favorite workout channel!
    Ryan always has well thought out instruction, is resourceful, to the point, and even throws in Sex advice as an added bonus - a modern day Dr. Ruth!...LOL.
    I been working on my legs at home and my workout usually consists of: Goblet squats, Bulgarian Split squats, standard split squats, RDLs, hip thrusts. I also do bodyweight exercises: Squats and walking lunges.
    The Bulgarians scare me!...LOL. Because they're so damn painful and as Ryan says you're done after those, and I really do think about how shitty my life is!...LOL.
    I'll try the step ups and the low squats.I've tried the Step ups before and didn't seem to connect with them, but will follow his advice of stopping three-quarters the way to keep the tension.
    I do have a question regarding unilateral Calf training ( maybe Ryan can finally answer a question!):
    My right Calf is grossly underdeveloped compared to my Left ( maybe an inch or two difference). I make a point of doing extra sets of unilateral calf raises on the right one. I been doing this for months and also have done it in the past without seeing an improvement. I'm wondering if I should exclusively train my Right Calf and not train the Left at all? I'm not a competitive bodybuilder or anything serious, just workout to stay in shape. However, it would be nice if they were more symmetrical.
