I really appreciate how your answers to the same basic questions evolve. I think this is a more thorough answer than last time you did this question. More guests please
Nothing built my quads more than this order. 1.leg extenstion to failure . 2. Smith Machine squats closer feet. 3. Safety bar squat natural stance to build abductor then bring hams in too. Then hit hams after that.
I hope this comment isnt taken the wrong way! I love you guys and think your awesome but for some time now you guys tend to answer the same questions essentially over and over again! Ive listened for years and have learned a ton! I get it new comers arrive and may have this question! Im just saying i see the questions asked on your quah on your insta some really well put complex questions that im oooo hope the boys answer this one but here we are again talking about quad builders. Again im a huge fan so hope its not taken in a negative fashion! Your introductory portions are always entertaining af! Listen everyday on my commute to the iron paradise
I actually got bigger quads doing 100 reps using a trx and doing body squats with it. Obviously I would still do squats and what not but I couldn't get enough hypertrophy because after 50 reps with weights I'd feel it in my knees.
Was listening to this during chest day after destroying lower body yesterday. Tried doing the sissy squats just to test out how they feel. Accidentally got distracted and did a full sissy squat workout😅😂
With Lunges and Bulgarians, people don't load them enough with the proper form ie at least a 200 lb weight (barbell preferably or dumbbells ) for a 200 pound man for 5 reps.
I feel like if you dont have the mobility to do a deep squat you shouldn't avoid it you should work on it. I couldn't even go half way down with just the bar and my knees shaking. Now I can basically sit on the ground with weight, just keep doing it over and over
im not a fan of isolated muscle training since my goal is to become generally stronger. thats why i prefer squads and romanian deadlifts for my main lower body exercises. i also think they are most fun and require a good amount of concentration. for me they are just the best ones.
I personally don’t squat at all, my form is bed etc etc but can I grow my legs more by doing hack squats, power squats and leg press? Along with leg curls and leg extensions?
Tbh back squats are overhyped for hypertrophy... anyone who says otherwise is just jumping on the bandwagon. Squats are great for strength building only! Leg press, leg extension and hack squats is what builds size because you can push your legs to failure going 15+ reps.
So much broscience. Squats absolutely do not grow your hamstrings or calves. Show me a single study that shows activation or cross-sectional muscle thickness studies of the hamstring or calf with any single study and I’ll eat my words. These guys are right about the hack squats though. The hack squats are great for someone who finds that a regular squat has been growing their glutes more due to a lack of hip/ankle mobility. Guys or girls with long femurs are typically the victims of shitty barbell squat form which is why you typically see people of Asian ethnicities being quite lower body dominant due to shorter appendages and longer torsos
Any deadlift will, especially Stiff legged. You can finish it off with a leg curl with a dumbbell or band. And yes, deep squats will engage the hammies but it’s not optimal for sure

Because certain things are flat out better than others. If they said something else, they'd be lying

Deadlifts are also good for lower body strentgh and mass, not only for hamstrings but also for quads.
Back, front and bulgarian split squats.

goblet squats with bfr bands ;)
personally speaking when i did heavy squats consistently my entire body blew the hell up.
Spoiler: it's back squats. Anyways, don't forget your hamstrings (and calves if you care about aesthetics)

Without isolation, you’ll have weak points, especially for the upper body
Agreed. Barbell Squats are still King!
Gurf!
I know this is a podcast , but why don’t you demonstrate the exercise..you are on video, that would help tremendously.
We have another channel for that

The Basics always win
For me Hack squat has been king
Bulgarian squats or back squats
How do you do 10 sets of just squats? Reps per set?
Narrow stance goblet squats go crazy
Yes 🙌
Do they add mass??
@@mayankshuklla2251 what Kind of a fucking question is that?
@@mayankshuklla2251 c'mon man, really?
@@fuckthisworkbitch Havent tried...thats why asking

Can't deep squat with a 45 pound bar. Ain't happening.
Salve Regina Maria
squats are terrible for hamstrings.
Get a little bit lower to involve those hammies.
Any deadlift will, especially Stiff legged. You can finish it off with a leg curl with a dumbbell or band.
And yes, deep squats will engage the hammies but it’s not optimal for sure
@@ovathere93 that doesnt change anything
Good thing this video is about quads then
Bs detected
i fall in the 1% of ppl who can’t squat because of my flat feet and my calves always raise up 🥲
I have flat feet and no such issues. Am actually a decent squatter.
@@Titicacaberryjuice 🥲🥲i envy you so much
Could of put some 5lb plate underneath ur feet to help with that
