Ron, I’m a 60 year old grandmother who needs encouragement and instruction. Your calming voice and easy to follow instructions are a gem ! Thank you for taking time to present these basics in a way that I can easily understand and follow them! I’m looking forward to become stronger and more defined
Man, that comments on the squat, so true...I have these long legs which does make it uncomfortable but I fell really gud on the leg press and can go really heavy.
This is great. I’ve been lifting consistently for coming on 9 months and worked through 3-4 different programs from my brother. Working on building out my own program and this was super helpful. Especially getting more information on appropriate progression and for example: why it would be beneficial to start with your hamstring curls first, etc.
Found you on Facebook and I love the way you explain everything in detail. I haven't been to the gym in about 4 months and your video motivated me again. Tomorrow begins my leg day!
Good fundamental tips. Starting off with hamstrings is a game changer. I got that tip from John Meadows but it's probably the best tip for a good leg workout. Start with hamstrings and your leg press/squat just feels so much better.
i agree. I'm 6’2. Every damn time I squat my lower back kills me. Taking me out the gym for almost a week because i have to physical therapy to my back. To hell with the squat rack. smh. I do kettle bell squats instead.
Before this video, I was actually concerned about not doing squats. Shoulder issues make it hard for me to hold the centralized weight of the bar on them, and my bad shoulder does not allow my arm to go back far enough to hold the bar. Supplemented leg extensions and leg press, but was not sure they would be enough until this video. Thank you, brotha. 🤙🏼
Leg day does suck... But this actually helps, at least now I know I'm doing something right. I just need to add my Cavs to my routine. My doctor told me this will help strengthen my knee, is this true? I do have to admit, I am walking a bit better. You make things make sense. Thank you 💪❤
To all the tall ppl who like to do squats, elavate your heels. I'm 6'0 and putting 10lbs under my heels you can get a deeper squat. I do it for front and back squats and it activates your quads better!
Ok, so I’m getting leg days in every week. And I’ve been trying to do this Back to the Basics series regularly but how do I keep leg day from ruining 3 days of my week? Will this go away or get better or is this just what it is. 😂

I literally love that in the first thirty seconds of this, you affirm that leg day sucks. Because same! But it’s by far the most rewarding!

Great vid and info about calf insertion.
I really needed this. Thanks!
I love this video a lot of great information. I appreciate this video and can’t wait to hit the gym with this new knowledge.
i agree. I'm 6’2. Every damn time I squat my lower back kills me. Taking me out the gym for almost a week because i have to physical therapy to my back. To hell with the squat rack. smh. I do kettle bell squats instead.
Thank you so much for breaking everything down
Love your videos thank you.
I did not know that about leg muscles and hormones. I love you too fitness moon and back. I am taking this process slow and correct for life

How many sets do you typically do? Not necessarily just for legs
Great video
Love this! I just need a gym membership.
I've been watching your vids for awhile now but have never caught you saying how many sets I should be doing
Good stuff man
I love this simplicity of these workouts. Unfortunately I can't find episode 1 or 2. Does anyone have the link?
Love this because it’s literally the same as my simple leg workout that I’ve been seeing results with. Really can’t stand squats lol

Maybe I missed it, but what were the rep numbers for this one? 4x12 like the other days?
Thanks big ron
For calfs: does it make a difference whether you do standing calf raises or sitting? Which is more effective?
Hello Big Ron I'm a 54 yr old have been over weight several years. I lost some weight and now my legs have dents. Can they be tightened and toned

The shoes. Where are you getting your Nikes?
Thank you
You're the best
I noticed your leg pad is in your calf, this is ideal? I find this uncomfortable ..
Don't break parallel on Linear leg?
How many sets?
4 x 12-15
Make sure y’all take those weights down, when done on those machines, not gym etiquette for others to un-stack …
😅
added my practical advice!💫🫶🏻
