Jay - THANK YOU! I've been doing leg extensions and can only feel it near my knees. I'm going to try your technique this week.
How did it go then bud just seeing this video now
@@neal7159 seems like it didn’t go well hahahahha

Thanks Jay. I applied this technique on my leg extensions and I’m really feeling a pump in my upper quads rather than lower quads. I didn’t think it was possible!
Clear and to the point , I wish all tutorials were as good as the ones Jay has done so far ...keep them coming ,..
No matter how old this video maybe, I just learned something new, ‘Point my toes out, not up’ 😲😲😲
I will implement this strategy next time on my leg curls 🤓
Perfect and simple tip for upper quad. Thanks Jay!
Pointing toes means taking tension off calves so ankles get higher.
Apparently 12 to 15 times means 10 to 12 reps.

Your a bright one aren't you? U criticize then cut the reps down from what he says. Safe to say you are another unsuccessful one because you don't listen! Kudos to you!
@@phatbastard2026 the video says 10-12 even though Jay says 12-15, dummy.
And how many of the big guys have I heard say to only do 8 - 10 for growth?
thanks man I was wondering how to point the feet during this
Thanks Jay! Never knew that. Will start doing that from now on.
There aren't many vids up discussing plantar vs. dorsi for leg extension. This is speculation honestly. Targeting the upper quad (RF?) or the 'upper sweep' (I always thought the sweep was strictly the VL [never heard to it referred to as 'upper' sweep]) via dorsiflexion or plantar is honestly just speculation at this point.
I am seriously disappointed at the lack of information on this topic. Seriously, this is a question I would have expected people to be asking a long time ago! Anyway, based on the ignorant opinion of Hailey (I'm Hailey... Lol), and based on a few studies I've been looking at, we would do a better job at targeting the RF (a TMJ) by keeping the hip extended during leg extension movements. Of course, you can't adjust leg extension machines to allow full hip extension, but still. Some have suggested sissy squats for this, but I agree it's hard to load that kind of exercise if you don't have a hack. (And even then, the moment arm would be different, as a leg extension is the only movement that has a moment arm at full leg extension, so subbing out a squat for this might not lead to the same effect).
Okay, w/ that being said, differnt ankle positions and their subsequent effect really are not known. Tepperman et. al ('86) found that RF activity actually increased with dorsiflexion, so technically, that's the opposite of what you're promoting. I.S. Huang et. al (2000) looked at VMO peak amplitude during different ankle position/effort. Of course this isn't the 'upper' quad like you're referring, but that particular study found that VMO activity was significantly increased with active plantarflexion (which would support what you're saying, IF you were talking about the VMO). These studies could be wrong, of course. I'm seriously surprised and disappointed that more studies have not been done on this. Just watched another youtube vid in which the guy stated that dorsiflexion would subsequently lengthen the gastroc, leading to quad 'suppression.' No studies referenced. No science referenced. Broscience at its finest? Smh.
I wish we had a better handle on this topic. I've always felt like pointing my toes during leg extension led to a better burn in my MVO and LV. RF I never feel in leg extension, but I do during somersault squats and majorly in a hack-like variation (closer to 0 degrees hip extension).
Also stated in the Huang (2000) study was the fact that biarticulate (RF) muscles could be impacted differently than monoarticulate (VMO & VL) when the ankle is placed in different positions.
Hopefully more research will be done on this.
If you have any studies or any good, credible information on the matter, I would sincerely appreciate you sending it my way, or just posting it below in the comments. Thanks! :)

Lilmiss Harber nobodies reading all that tf
Oh, I'm sorry. You're right- no one cares.
Guess this is why no one knows what the fuck they're doing in the gym.
@marvolous find me on IG- @haileyharber - warning, bikini pics abound
I read it -- quite interesting. It also annoys me why I can't find anything on the upper quads neither. I've searched and searched with little to no advice on the topic and it really is essential to getting a complete leg/quad development. I have no hack machine so these muscles elude me a lot. I'm not sure where to go from here.
Are you talking about the RF? Your best bet will be a standing sissy squat. 0 degrees of hip extension coupled with leg flexion will recruit it best since it's a TJM. I used to do these on a hack machine but I no longer have access to it. I just do them standing now. They're a bitch honestly. You could try to do them on leg extension, but most seats don't allow the user to move the seat back to allow for a smaller degree of hip flexion. Tom Platz 'muscle camp' has a great example of this. He uses a partner and he like, 'lays' in the leg extension seat. Pretty cool, but probably a bitch to do without a partner. Best of luck!
I always wondered how to get the upper quads involved.
Jay “cuts” the Olympia champ legend💪🏼🔥
💪💪💪
This series is awesome
Amazing instructions by the great Jay cutler
Great guy. Met Jay Cutler. Great guy. Cool to the fans. And of course, hes a champion.
Jay is one of my favorite bodybuilders
Awesome tip Jay, thank you !!!
I was watching this and imagining me at the gym doing this and I noticed my breathing was mimicking how I breath on the machine 😂
For a quarterback, this guy is ripped
Wow.muscles! I have been lifting for only a month and I Love my leg extensions! My outer thighs are already growing. I just tried feet outward and had to come here to make sure that this is a valid exersise!( toes out) 😂
2023, legday tomorrow. gonna do as you say, Jay. THX
Got this recommended in my feed. When I first saw the title I thought it was the NFL quarterback Jay Cutler. I was like damn Smoking Jay is becoming a body builder now?
Thought the same thing lol
never heard of her. there's only one jay cookie cutter cutler
Thank you, Sir for the heads up
Respectfully,
Randy
Thank You Jay Have A Good One!
best leg muscles I have ever seen
Is the leg flexibility in the leg extension exercise true or false ?
0:04 Wow! 4 time Miss Olympia.. she's beautiful!
Tx Mr Cutler. Gonna try that out tmrw
THIS is why Jay still looks good at his age! The Thought is absolutely Critical....you get Out what you put In!!!
what's wrong with his age? He is very young.
But why do some people say that leg extension is bad for knees?
Absolutely love this guy
So how would you target the outer. That’s my weakest point.
thanks didnt know i had to point my toes, will make sure I do that
Thanks Jay !!!
His arm is twice as large as both my thighs

💉💉💉💊💊💊
Please explain biomechanically how pointing your toes effects the rectus femoris (upper thighs) ?
I'd assume it's stretching your shin and likely the muscle around your knee so it removes emphasis. Then it's just the next muscle directly in line with the shin.
@@RedZAgs193 OHHHHH🤔I see
Am I supposed to push with my shins/ankles or push with my quads?
Thank you!! I've been doing them wrong for fifteen years.
good video G.
Good to know. Point toes coming up. Thx 😊
So wild I just found this video. Started doing this a few months ago just experimenting on the machine with lighter weights and noticing where I felt the pump.
Whooaaaa this definitely works and i had to lower my weight because my upper quads arent use to being hit like this wow
I'll try it
Do you lockout your knees at the top or not?
great vid
I need my knees replaced. The doctor won't replace them because I have no upper quad muscles. I'm female age 65 any tips please. I'm now stuck in a wheelchair can barely ambulate🙏😢
Still doesn't really work for me tho. Is there other advice to do it better?
"4 time Ms. Olympia" he says :0
Thank you
Pointing ´´out’´ means forward or out to each side??
Look at his feet you can see
It means pointing toes forward not to the side
1:51 You had one job and you fucked it up dude hahaha.
So basically point your toes
🔥 🔥 🔥
I want more tips pliz upload
In a lot of other videos, people keep saying leg extensions are bad for the knees, but Jay Cutler does them!
Is okay if I do them just as a warm up/ low weight? Thanks.
Smokin Jay Cutler
Good info but audio quality alternates between bearable to awful. Makes it painful to listen to. MORE painful than __________ (insert your own ad lib here)
Hello. my weight is 65kgs and i am a badminton player and for that i need power in my legs. For leg press and leg extension how much weight shall i take to start with?. I will be obliged if you guide throughout . Leg press how much weight for startling?. For leg extension how much weight to start with?
Thanks and regards
+Abhisekh Singh start really low and bump up till you can feel the weight and the muscle working
+Abhisekh Singh I will give you a better tip.... DONT EVEN DO ANY OF THOSE!!!
The reason I say this is, you play badminton, you don't need these workouts for a sport like that, because the only thing you're lifting is yourself!
Stick to squats, go outside and find some steps where there might be something like 10 - 20 steps... and practice jumping them, go all the way down ass to grass and jump hard to see how many steps you can clear...
You can incorporate lunges as well.
so yeah, practice doing squats for reps, explosive squats, jump squats and all those sorts of muscles..
if you have any leg adductor and abductor machines in the gym, use those to work on the inner and outer parts of the quads as they will be prone to injury in something like badminton if you've never worked on them before.
madmike987655 , hey thanks for your suggestion ..and what about arms training? . I would be obliged if you can email me and we can be in regular touch. My id-- abhisekh900@gmail.com
+Abhisekh Singh sketch
lol can't even get to :34 without Jay praising himself.
Great vid! 👍 Thank’s!
Don't forget the secret is good genetics lol!
why the heck my quads should care if my foot is straight or not.. in terms where muscles are attached.. bro science?
Should one pause at the top?
Noooo
❤❤❤
This is exactly ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS what I needed to get some exercise while I'm stuck at my desk all day. It's just the right size. Only downsides are that the right oeddale unscrews itself while I use it and increasing the tension causes it to squeak while in use. Both are minor issues that aren't that important to me. So I give it 5 stars.
Point the toes for upper quads??? Please explain?
JimitriG I have no idea. But I'm fairly sure Jay has a very good idea. I'm gonna try it.
JimitriG The leg extension is great for the upper quads (rectus femoris muscle) but I don't see how it has anything to do with pointing the toes. When you lift your hips up off the seat a little bit and lean backwards while doing the extensions you stretch the upper quads, which also function as hip flexors, so there is more tension up there.
Turnip Patrol that bit makes sense. could be a cue that somehow helps to activate the muscle...
+Turnip Patrol maybe it give you better form? idk.
JimitriG this was clearly a raw lift, don't take the P
Should I lock my knees ?
not completely but go very close. when i lock my knees sometimes it hurts the knee joint and that should be avoided at al costs
No. Don't lock your joints on any exercise
It destroys the Knees tho
Slt je t'aime beaucoup médecine
and also set the seat back 🤓🤓🤓
one of the best legs EVER...
Thiago Monteiro no tom platz
+arsh bhullar platz was good in his era, not after that
just the one?
0:06 4 time MISS OLYMPIA????? WTF????????? I thought this dude was intelligent......
No he says "mista olympia" he has an accent
Anyone else hear him say, "Ms. Olympia"?
Tom platz: but why……
Ah wow I remember this myth about toe pointing... how dumb we were.
pointing your toes in any direction doesn't change the type of tension on the quads lol. the feet are connected to a completely different joint
nickrunaway2 did you even tried it , it works believe me
Yeah let's doubt one of the best bodybuilders in the world because Nick on RUclips says it's wrong.
I had physio on my legs after 3 acl ruptures spread over a decade and pointing your toes was a big part of rehabilitation so you know fuck all mate.
I tried it...doing it right now. Idk why it's different, but it is! It works!
@@Dave-sc5jm late response, but you clearly are the one who knows 'fuck all mate' since you dont even know where the toe flexors attach on the human body. they dont even attach to the femur (upper leg bone) which means its literally impossible for pointing your toes to have any effect on a quadricep contraction. i have studied anatomy at university
You're a complete idiot. Stop it with your dumbass bro science.
Bro, his toes do not move..
Why does he look / sound depressed?
broscience
Sad he doesn't do these on his own channel! Now he has some clown Bosco, Butt Fuck or Butt Munch whatever his name is doing training videos and Jay is NEVER in them!
Read the (Quran) educate yourself = save yourself
Dude needs to work on hes legs.
So cash.
Jay Cutler might be a 4x Mr. Olympia, but there's no upper quads. That's just bro-science.
YOU GAVE YOUR Mouth a good workout there.
Said by a steroid user and abuser that must be true
