Quads are arguably the most adaptable single muscle in the body. Greater than chest, even greater than arms. In fact, I've never seen anyone that trains quads consistently not change them significantly. Even tall lanky guys can develop thick contoured quads -- but not calves -- which is where they differ the most dramatically.
Train calves every day. Unless they hurt, train them. I fit them in between heavy sets on push days and pull days as a break for my upper body. I had sticks a year ago and now I absolutely stand out from just about every guy at the gym because people don't train them enough. Don't walk by a calve machine without getting on there and doing some full range of motion reps.
Recently had bicep surgery so I've been forced into the leg press, I've been getting nasty with 2/3 partial myo rep matches around 20 reps and in just 4 weeks my clothes no longer fit its crazy
When you suggest more sets or reps would you also suggest keeping the # of exercises in a workout lower like 3 or 4 and juat putting the hammer down on all of them. Or juat the last 1 or 2 exercises?
Great video. This is why i do fortitude training... heavy loading, muscle rounds, pulse reps and 25-30rep sets has made my legs grow A LOT! I some how enjoy the pain...
You can tell there's a majority of bodybuilders and lifters don't like leg day. This video should have well over a million views. Very educational very honest very truthful awesome video thanks redcon1 thanks hypertrophy coach
I do 20 reps 6 sets on leg extensions and last 10 each set burn like the gates of hell! Better burn or you're not doing it right. Make sure it's 8-10 controlled and slow and burning or 20 like me but slow an controlled and burning like you can't help but let out any noise to alleviate the sheer shock that the pain is sending through the body. I hate leg day but love the results. I have decent legs from my method.
@@eleutheriusmichaelides7724 go deep on your quad exercises like hack squats or squats if you can. Full knee flexion is when the hamstrings touch your calves at the bottom
You were killing my legs back at creekwood lifestyles ten years ago I'm scared to imagine what sick crazy shit your doing to people nowadays..... Love watching your content brother 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾☠️
Thoughts on the ssb split squats, jsut felt it's easier on the arms and you do not have to worry about grip tiring out and able to load the exercise more than a standard dumbbell split squat
Love this, Joe. Like just the other day a guy came to me and asked the exact same question. How do I get this *points to VL* bigger? Everyone wants some magic answer, do this upside down bosu ball single arm squat crap but few people do the kind of shit you talk about.
When you do these really high rep sets what weight would you use? I like to do pyramid style increase weight every set type thing. Where would i add in super high reps. My max squat is 305 lb at the moment. Would i drop the weight down to like 225 and rep that? Or lower?
I'd say experiment. Start light(ish) weight and work up until you find the correct stimulation. Than I would say increase the rep, decrease the rest time, or increase the weight. Positive vibes.
???? Okay?? This video doesnt have even one exercise included what kind of advice is this? I can understand this being the truth after reaching plateaus in training but you didn’t even try to help people who have “genetic” potential
If reading a list of exercises was all that was needed to make progress...then everyone that can read would be huge. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to complain though.
@@HypertrophyCoach Laughable inchoate generalities with nonsensical methodology. Then you observe the quadracep development and sweep of male classical ballet dancer... Hmm!!! Hypertrophic and hyperplasia occur together under the presence of a specific training regiment. You don't need 700 reps... Hahahahah!

I swear to God this is Adam Levine's buffed brother.
yeah or ryan reynolds
Don’t insult this man like that…Adam Levine is never a compliment.
That was a high-quality answer and I very much appreciate it
Can see that you were doing calculations on the white board👌

I love your brutally honest answers. They are not what people wanna hear but you say it anyway! I respect that 👍🏾
I've noticed a lot of girls have good quad sweep for some reason, and I'm jealous
Austin Miller me too I’m now on my second week training quads I’ve always tried concentrating on my glutes more then any thing
True
This advice is gold. Thank you for making these videos please continue. You give me reassurance in what I do!
The answer you don’t want to hear is usually the right one. Thanks 🙏🏻
It doesn't get more brutally honest than that. Thanks coach!
Want quad sweep, take a vomit bucket with you on leg day.
And make sure you fill it up...
Stupid. Fry your CNS and fuck up your recovery isn’t going to make your quads bigger.
Not_your_average Meathead 🤣🤣🤣
1 thing that helped me a lot is posing after every set of a compound leg exercise for 10-20 sec.

Johnathon Moss 🙄
Same if i dont feel pain and my feel like my muscles aren't growing I do more
What are muscle rounds?

@Strength In Ethics Exactly. The guys at the top are pretty much all consistent. What divides them are hamstrings and calves which are 90% genetic.
straight to the point. Thanks
You can go to failure on any rep range and grow. I train in the 4 to 6 rep and have great quads.

This is so great! What do we do for the teardrop? Thank you!🙏
Train full knee flexion
@@HypertrophyCoach Hello, thank you very very much, shall I train It in a particular way? Thank you!
@@HypertrophyCoach What I mean, shall I train more nórdic curls or harmstring curls?
@@eleutheriusmichaelides7724 go deep on your quad exercises like hack squats or squats if you can. Full knee flexion is when the hamstrings touch your calves at the bottom
I always thought it looked good to be square and chisled than round and puffy
You allow you kids to scrawl on the wall . . Admirable.
Looking forward to tomorrow’s leg day even more now.
Thank you.

Make some videos on micro nutrients
Can you actually develop quad sweep or is it purely genetic?
Love this, Joe. Like just the other day a guy came to me and asked the exact same question. How do I get this *points to VL* bigger?
Everyone wants some magic answer, do this upside down bosu ball single arm squat crap but few people do the kind of shit you talk about.
No dude. Probably people did squats enough and heavy but with wide stance so they lift heavier. And by that they stimulates more inner quad then outer
What is quad sweep
Learning so much for you coach!!
well at least when doing leg extensions you could point your feet inwards to emphasize the outer area of the quads
caprimann87 bro science!
Don’t do that.. you only got one pair of knees.
I like your answer a lot

Solid. Thank you.
Very helpful 👍🏻 thank you
So fucking true...i tried to go like up to 15 and it hurts/ burns like shit...do higher reps people
If I am natty, will that kind of volume be beneficial?
No
Yes
Step 1: have a friend to train with
Well, fuck...
why do the video?
Why do the comment?

I’m not talking about quads the size of a ballet dancer. If that’s your goal though, have at it.
