    I always come back to this video when I start focusing too much on leg size over performance. Still relevant in 2020!!!

  • @georgepacey8066

    Chris keeping it real not bothering to egotistically film the squats because we all know what that looks like..this man is all about the educational content nothing but help as always yet still keeping it entertaining and extremely professional as always dude! keep em comin' Chris, love it.

    • @DShaker24
      @DShaker24 6 лет назад +6

      George Pacey I was actually really interested in the squat, and I was hoping he would've covered the topic of high vs low bar for athletes. Also parallel vs high/low, another good topic.

    • @SolitarySoldier
      @SolitarySoldier 5 лет назад +1

      DShaker24 i get that this is a workout for athletic muscle training your lower half but would this help with improving sprinting times/speed and vertical? He doesnt do any plyos in this video just weightlifting

    • @AndrewRobeen
      @AndrewRobeen 5 лет назад +1

      RiseAbove 756 Yes this will absolutely help sprinting and vertical. Especially if your not strong. It doesn't matter how fast you can produce force if you can't produce enough in the first place. Don't totally neglect plyos though

    • @SolitarySoldier
      @SolitarySoldier 5 лет назад +2

      Andrew Robeen of course. I do Post activation potentiation complex which is contrast. Basically you do a heavy resistance lift like a squat or trap-bar deadlift then follow it immediately with a plyo that mimics or is close to the heavy resistance lift. So basically squat follow it with a seated box jump. Idk if you follow football a lot but john ross who ran a 4.22 40 at the nfl combine got his 40 down from a 4.5 to a 4.2 in 6 weeks by doing this type of training. It worked for me and i got my 60 down from a 6.8 to me hovering around a 6.5- 6.6

    When you said that truth about the quads, you just won me as a subscriber. I mean, here's a man who can actually think for himself and knows the human body. He understands the difference between aesthetics and performance.

    • @irshadazeez4764
      @irshadazeez4764 Год назад +1

      @kntf7333 no reps mentioned. You have to decide. I'd guess above 10 reps since these aren't meant to be heavy lifts.

  • @bigbattenberg
    @bigbattenberg 6 лет назад +1

    Check out the Kenian runners, they have incredibly thin calves as well as the "springy" style, as if they are constantly doing invisible ropejumping. Low weight in the lower leg improves turnover, it's basic physics! I try to be "on my toes" all day, doing little jumps, walking on the ball of the foot, doing foot exercises etc. to arrive at the "barefoot" running style (not necessarily without shoes).

    Found your words while you were using the Swiss ball very inspiring as I am just coming off a very similar injury and very similar loss of condition - and caused by about as embarassing a reason! Quick question on the reverse lunges, though - can you contrast the difference in effect between keeping the upper body about in-line with the calves as you demonstrate vs. keeping the upper body perpendicular to the ground?

    One good way to prevent shin splints is standing with back against a wall with something behind to hold onto, feet reasonably close together about 15cm from the wall, keep heels on the ground and just lift your toes up and just stomp up and down up and down on thr ball of your feet as fast and hard as you can. That muscle will start to burn within 15 secs. A great running coach showed me this

    @gazburrowsstrengthcoach806 7 лет назад

    Yo Chris, my calves get really tight when running, sprinting, jumping etc but at the same time are really flexible (I can track my knee way over my toe with the heel flat). Would you recommend loading up some isolated calf exercises? I've really done them and just stuck with your squat and lunge movements.

  • @Ismunoz
    @Ismunoz 6 лет назад +2

    Calves are one of those muscles that you either have them or you don’t. It all depends on the size of your Achilles’ tendon. If you have a short tendon you’ll have a longer, more extended calf muscle. Longer tendon= shorter calf muscle.
