Quick note: I don't train calves within this session. 1. After 70-90 mins in the gym training legs I want to leave. Concentration and motivations is dwindling at this point. 2. I'm too tired at the end to give them a proper session. I'm better off training them separately for 15-20 mins when I'm fresh. 3. They are a strong point for me. If I do train them it will be combined with my core workout, which I tend to do on a rest day or on arm day in AM or PM (2 sessions in the day).
This is easily one of the best fitness pages on RUclips. You do a great job in demonstrating form and putting together workouts that are challenging. As well, I appreciate you including your sets, reps and especially tempo in the description. Keep it up. Thank you,
Mike is an absolute God when it comes to Training! He has helped me to establish mind-muscle connections and helped me to execute the exercises properly. I can now feel the muscle that I'm training contracting as I perform the exercises. Also, I feel pumped at the end of my workouts. This leg workout left me sore for days! I would definitely recommend trying it!
Definitely one of the best fitness channels out there. You go through your routines very thoroughly and in detail. Definitely a no bs channel, you've earned my subscription. Keep it up
The videography, music, cuts etc on that one we so good. Worked so well with the pace of the soundtrack. Whoever filmed/edited that one should be on board for all your future clips. Good work.
Faisal Chris Joyce I do the edits, I gave a lad called Lucas a trial with filming me for the first time and he did a good job. Will be working with him more often 👊🏼
First of all, love your videos mate. I don't know if you already have a stretching video (stretching in general), if you don't, could you please upload one, it will be very useful. Great video, i really have to start training my legs, im so lazy with legs. Congrats from Basque Country. All the best. Keep it up Mike
You mentioned in this video that the lower body generally contains more slow twitch muscle fibres compared to the upper body, so could you do a video on different body parts muscle fibres and how to train them optimally?
Mike could you explain more about strength curves, how it is applicable to the other muscle groups? As far as i know, you do have one video about the Bicep's strength curve
What's up brotha Fairly new into working out Been watching your videos a lot very easy to understand and Sri to the point no bullshit that's what I like so Kudos to you The leg workout in this video would you recommend this for somebody that is just starting out
So wish my gym had that squat bar. Since shoulder replacement I can't yet get arm twisted back far enough. Also at 6-7, I'm too long to ever be comfortable.
Omg bro I can't move my legs.. and I completely forgot am going to Disneyland this weekend.. jajaja I can't walk.. but let me tell you it really work man.. thanks mike
Could you recommend a pair of good workout shorts that aren't too short, flimsy, or prone to unraveling at the seams? I've tried YoungLA, but would like an alternative.
mike, first, congrats for your vids, they are always so much helpful, now, I got a question, when i'm doing the romanian deadlift, i don't feel my hamstring working, what should i do? put more weight? can you give me any tip? keep it up👌
Hi Mike, great routine. I saw all your recent routine videos on pull/push/legs/arms... My question is can we use this routine for gain purpose or is it solely for maintaining or cutting purpose. I know the reps and tempo tend to mix all the necessary type 1 2 fibers equally for growth and rep range tend to shuffle, but I want to know your opinion on this. Thanx mate
Hi mike. Whats up. Great video man as always. I just wanna ask you, when ever I train legs, specially quads with squat machine or leg extensions, I get an upset stomach and feels kind of dizzy. I know its because all the blood running into the legs. Any advice on that? Thanks man.
Really nice video im gonna start doing this on leg day :) Also if you do P-P-L aren't you supposed to do biceps on pull day and triceps on push day? I just heard u talked about doing arms some day so that kinda confused me?
Good video Mike! I have a question, should i do legs tomorrow? my legs are so sore from the last leg working session, I mean like they are so sore i can barely walk.. And thanks!
CharbelM. definitely don't then no! you have to let them recover. Spend a good amount of time stretching them before you go to bed should make it easier to walk the next day
Hallo mike..i want to ask if phsh pull legs arms core/calves is good training spli, with 4 sets of 8-12 on every exercise..or push pull legs arms? Thank you very much.
Hey Mike I had both knees half replacements, surgeon said I can do anything so I have been building them up.Any thing or exercises I should stay away from or different foot placement on leg day? I go lighter and slow movement.
Mike, after how many days you train legs again? I just wonder because the volume is high. I usualy do 2 exercises for ach bodypart. ( i'm following a upper/lower body scheme).

Mike Thurston may you show us you trainning for your calves ? :) thx you'r the beast !
he has a video called "2 routines for bigger calves". i just checked it out now and i find it pretty cool.
How often do you train your core, only with arms or do you train core more days during the week?

"I don't think anyone should ever lock out on the press." Thank you! I cringe when I see people doing it with a ton of plates on there.

So wish my gym had that squat bar. Since shoulder replacement I can't yet get arm twisted back far enough. Also at 6-7, I'm too long to ever be comfortable.
I walked off the treadmill when you said I don't get why people warm up on the treadmill, warm up doing squats lol
Mike Thurston should make a collaborative video with Kali Muscle.

Could you recommend a pair of good workout shorts that aren't too short, flimsy, or prone to unraveling at the seams? I've tried YoungLA, but would like an alternative.
Hi Mike , I'm glad to be your new fan . I wanna ask you something: i don't know why my legs aren't growing...can you please tell me what that about ?
mike, first, congrats for your vids, they are always so much helpful, now, I got a question, when i'm doing the romanian deadlift, i don't feel my hamstring working, what should i do? put more weight? can you give me any tip? keep it up👌

Bulgarian split is for qauds though no? not hamstrings as much
This was tasty. Legs are crispy
MY COACH
Nice one gona try this one today lol....i did say try lol
Hi mike. Whats up. Great video man as always. I just wanna ask you, when ever I train legs, specially quads with squat machine or leg extensions, I get an upset stomach and feels kind of dizzy. I know its because all the blood running into the legs. Any advice on that?
Thanks man.
So I normally combine muscle groups when working out, but with this type of routine should I do a muscle group a day instead of combining?
hey Mike! how often during the week are you doing push /pull /legs? are you doing it once or twice?
Mike, i think this was mostly a Hamstring/Glutes dominant workout.
Squats, Leg Press, Leg Extensions, Split dont target the Quads?
Would you ever consider making a vlog channel? I'm sure it would be great if you did! 👍😊🤞🏻
Mike, how often do you train each muscle group per week?
2 times "pull", 2 times "push" etc.?
do your legs get smaller if you do these workouts. ..
im 15 and the furthest ive gotten on the leg press is 485lbs is that good
How do you fit in Abbs work in your current split? Cheers.
can u do a q and a
Really nice video im gonna start doing this on leg day :) Also if you do P-P-L aren't you supposed to do biceps on pull day and triceps on push day? I just heard u talked about doing arms some day so that kinda confused me?
He’s doing Push-Pull-Leg-Arm. But he said if you want to you can work out on your biceps on pull day, and your triceps on your push day.
Good video Mike! I have a question, should i do legs tomorrow? my legs are so sore from the last leg working session, I mean like they are so sore i can barely walk.. And thanks!
CharbelM. definitely don't then no! you have to let them recover. Spend a good amount of time stretching them before you go to bed should make it easier to walk the next day
I feel like I go hard on leg day but I’m not getting sore. Why is this. Matter fact I do legs like 4X a week since this last week
My knee inner side pain so leg workout was struggle what can I do?
calves?
Mike, using the safety squat bar, is it imperative to have the handles parallel to the ground or can they point downwards?
I don't have access to a safety bar are regular squats going to be a sufficient substitute?
Fuck I just finished legs. I can only dedicate 45 maybe 50 minutes to my workouts per day. Good info Mike
Hallo mike..i want to ask if phsh pull legs arms core/calves is good training spli, with 4 sets of 8-12 on every exercise..or push pull legs arms?
Thank you very much.
I did a variation of this today...I can barely walk
Is this good for beginners ?
Hey Mike I had both knees half replacements, surgeon said I can do anything so I have been building them up.Any thing or exercises I should stay away from or different foot placement on leg day? I go lighter and slow movement.
Mike, after how many days you train legs again? I just wonder because the volume is high. I usualy do 2 exercises for ach bodypart. ( i'm following a upper/lower body scheme).
How many working sets do you do for squats?
You said 3 sets warm up, but I didn't catch the number for the working sets.
Mike, what are your thoughts on glute-ham raises for hammies instead of machine leg curls?
What is your thoughts about liftning belts? Many at my gym use thoose when doing squats.
