Awesome stuff as usual, as someone getting back into weightlifting after several years off due to back injury and age (I'm pushing 60), calisthenics are a great movement re-conditioner, especially with the help of suspension trainers for balance, safety and simply movements that are easier to develop with susp. over free weights. What I couldn't do 3 months ago, I can do now.
What an amazing and educating video, I do all these exercises, and it was so illuminating to understand the parallels and differences between the two options. Would love the upper body version as well! I learned so much
I think the hardest part of training legs the calisthenics way with a lot of single leg exercises is concentrating on the balance. After a while it becomes pretty tiring for the mind.. I rarely ever use support like you mention here, maybe I'll try adding that in
For greater muscle growth especially the calves you can just lenghted partials which is doing half reps at the bottom where your muscle is most streched which leads to bigger gains.
When i do squats at the gym that "ass to grass" i take that serious. I usually get a lot of people saying "your butt is almost touching the ground " i thought i was doing it wro g but no not only is it good its apparently impressive 😅
A tall Step Up is kinesthetically identical to a pistol squat, right? Except a pistol squat forces you to maintain stability at the bottom and push off with zero help of the other leg. So why on earth are pistol squats derided as a mere party trick? I use Dumbells to progress my pistol squats and I'm up to a total of 120lbs of deadweight. I wasn't even going for hypertrophy (instead for strength), buy my quads have a lot more details in them now and I attribute it entirely to the pistol squat.
Weights: wider stance squats/leg press or adductor machine Calisthenics: Copenhagen Plank The adductor's ROM isn't really conducive to calisthenics, and the adductors are quite strong by default so weights is definitely the better option here
It's really cool to see the new research about stretching mediated hypertrophy proving that body weight exercises like the sissy squat, reverse nordic and nordic curl are excelent for hypertrophy because they are all harder on the stretch position of the exercise. I've been doing reverse nordics and loving it!
It really makes you feel numb and almost like a fainting situation sometimes. Training them harder every time will make you a beast eventually I think. So gotta grind bruh

at first i hate so much training leg and now leg day is something i am looking forward to train
Nordic Curls are insane. Started doing negatives 6 months ago. They’re looking so good now. (Still negatives only, but my goodness I feel stronger)
Do make this for the upper body
He already did
He already did

Pls make thiss a series for eveey muscle part😊😊i also go to the gym and also wish to improve my calesthncis skills
Bro Daniel bringing the good gains to all
"dread before a set of squats" - yeah, that's the feeling hahahhahahah even thinking wrong during the set can make you fail the workout xD
What an amazing and educating video, I do all these exercises, and it was so illuminating to understand the parallels and differences between the two options. Would love the upper body version as well! I learned so much
Also a vote for adductors/abductors
@@ate4869 he did one already! Scroll through past videos. Hope this helps
I need to start doing nordics, thanks for the idea of using a band 👍
Just at perfect time , adding fi Al touches to my personal program
Great vid! Will you be doing one similar for push and pull days?
Really awesome video. You are crushing it lately
best fitness content by far !!!
Another great Video! Thanks a lot, Daniel!
Amazing video as usual Daniel! I would like to see a podcast with K Boges and one with James Smith
Please make one for abs!
great content per usual, daniel. thank you.
Perfect timing, leg day hear I come!
Same! Leg day is tomorrow morning;)
Awesome video!

Really grateful for today's inspiration Daniel! Heading now to the gym to put this into practice 🦾🦿
Just what I needed, ty
"The feeling of dread before squats is a good sign"
BARS
SSSQuat with rings is genius!
Also Nordic with bands!
Personally I am still on a "Compound purist phase", more because of time efficiency.
Hi Daniel! Great video 👌 Do you think Sissy Squats are superior to Reverse Nordics?
great video!
was wondering why you are not locking out (fully extending the legs) when spautting? Aren`t you leaving some ROM gains on the table?
Can you please make these videos on push and pull day
GYYYAAAATTT
I can only do 10 reps of pistol squat
Hip Thrusts, Reverse Nordics and RDLs for me. Is that enough?
What weight do you recommend for the deadlift? Progressive overload too ?
What do you think about single-leg deadlifts?
They are a great variation. You're strengthening the hip rotators which don't get stressed as much bilaterally.
@@FitnessFAQsWould single leg deadlifts still have benefits if you already do Bulgarian split squats and RDLs?
I noticed you wearing Feiyue trainers. I have some Chun-Li ones. Too nice to wear in the gym though.
Are squat shoes useful or does standing on a plate or plank just as good ?
How many reps of basic exercises I must be able to do before proceeding to skill training? I'm a beginner.
do calisthenics skills harder if we train legs???
How do you combine hybrid training + skills without being in the gym for 2 hours?
Try to hit legs 2x per week öné calisthenics workout one gym workout!
You can also try adding weighted calisthenics into your routine to make calisthenics exercises harder
How is the pistol squat different from the step up? Don't they work the same muscles? Ty
Yh they do.
After doing push up, my left shoulder is higher than right shoulder, what is the reason for this @FITNESS FAQS

I never feel my hamstrings during RDL!
But what about Kyriakos Grizzly's 200 kg back extensions?

I find my legs so so hard to grow and it annoys me because I train them so hard, it’s just how I’m built
What about adductors?
Cossack squats are great when it comes to flexibility
Weights: wider stance squats/leg press or adductor machine
Calisthenics: Copenhagen Plank
The adductor's ROM isn't really conducive to calisthenics, and the adductors are quite strong by default so weights is definitely the better option here

What's with the lack of lock-out? Your technique changed since I saw you last.
I'm able to do assisted pistol squats with a decent amount of volume and it's amazing for the legs. It's also super convenient to do
I don't understand why Dr Mike says deadlifts aren't an efficient muscle builder...
They are a high stimulus, high fatigue movement. They need to be programmed correctly otherwise heavy deadlifts can have systemic consequences.
I have been doingChris Heria's 20 minute Leg workoutfor 5 months .Trust me they work. No joke.
With a herniated disc some of these exercises just aren't possible for me.
Why did you delete yesterday's video?
💟♥️😇❣️💜🤍💫❤️💙
Weighted pistols work men they do
Nice joke about the pistol squats.
My mom said leg day, always made her nauseous
Tell her to lower the intensity like decrease the weight

@@nakedonstreettell this to the majority of women.
Is it possible to substitute squats for inverted leg press?
Perfect timing, leg day hear I come!
Great video, again
