For me I’ve always really loved supersetting leg curls with Romanian deadlifts, that always used to destroy my hamstrings. I like only going up on Romanian dead’s 80% of the way as well John it absolutely fried the hamstrings
One of my fave early videos for hamstrings from John and with all the crazy information overload today, I just keep coming back to John's channel to get myself "centred". Gotta love the man and his partials
I imagine that theory works out for women’s as well , my friend saw video with me she said we must look for a well formed guy too , good motivation tho lol
Immediate sub here. Came from the chest workout with Jay Cutler. Gotta love those leg workouts when you head to the toilet the next day and say, it can wait another day or 3. This accomplished that.
Your track story! Love it! Reminded me of the smokin hot dentist I had as a kid. She used to have her, "you know" pushed up on the side of my arm/shoulder while working on my teeth. As a teenager, needless to say, I didnt mind getting my teeth worked on!
Love your channel! I'm stepping up my leg training by incorporating more heavier sets throughout the workout instead of just with 1 or 2 lifts, and I can already tell a difference. Always been a fan of drop sets, but adding in partials and ISO holds with them is a game changer.
Thank you for all the awesome videos I love the way u take time an explain everything. Iv learned more from you in the last couple weeks than I have since iv been on here. I did one of ur biceps exercises yesterday an I could barely wash my hands when I left the Gym! Lol💪🏼👊💪🏼🚀
THANK YOU for this!! I feel like hamstrings aren't so much my issue, but rather that my gluteus maximus isn't as "big" or "hard" or "round/3D" as I want it to be. My gluteus medius on the other hand pops like a mother. I'm noticing it more as I'm dieting for a show and leaning out; legs and hams are there, but butt is disappearing. This has been my leg day workout for the past 4 months: Single Leg Extensions 3 sets of 6-10 reps Single Leg Curls 3 sets of 6-10 reps Stiff Leg Deadlifts 3 sets of 10-20 reps Glute Bridge 3 sets of 6-10 reps Leg Press- Single Leg 6 sets of 6-10 reps Wide Stance Squats 3 sets of 6-12 reps Wide Stance Squats 3 sets of 20-30 reps Walking Lunges 3 sets of 25 reps Seated Calf Raise 3 sets of 6-12 reps Standing Calf Raise 3 sets of 6-12 reps Standing Calf Raise 2 sets of 20-30 reps Not sure what else to do...probably not much during the rest of prep, but maybe 2 leg days in the off-season...with more glute focus? A TON of bridges??? I will definitely try incorporating your tips with the partial reps and added bands..and the "tilt" on the smith machine lunges tip was great! Thank you for ALL that you do!! Your advice is truly invaluable.
It's worth pointing out to people that you were not bottoming out on those seated curls, you're obviously stopping the weight with your hamstrings, and I think that is HUGE.
Dude I miss you dog the part you said you didn't want your wife hearing this , that's respectful as fuck man you're the fucking bomb I know God is getting swole up there with you man much love
i've never seen this machine of the last exercise before! must be a really good activation of the hams... sad we can't find one of this here in Brazil. Great workout, though!
Glad to see there is such thing as leg curl machnes that use plate weights. I am about to max out the leg curl machines at my gym. I'm too fat/weak for the Glute Ham raise --- Need a resistence level between those two.
Hahaha love that tip for hamstring flexibility. From spending so much time with Dr. Serrano I realise the value of ischemic work for rehab, strength and helping to feel a muscle. I know you've seen some of his exercises. Do you think it is as important for hypertrophy. Just one Example of the many ishcemic exercises. His praying leg curl exercise. Kneeling on the ground curling heels to bum contracting hamstrings while someone pushes down hard. I see some value for this after a kneeling leg curl challenge set shown in the video
Yeah. Today was the Hamstring day on the 28 Days later program. The dumbbell stiff legged deadlift was better at activating my hams than the laying and standing leg curls. The leg press was alright. This is one of my weak points. I don't have a good mind muscle connection with this muscle.
if I remember correctly I never saw mountaindog1 laugh once, there is only this old picture of him from the golden era I guess. I think this was the last time for him to smile - tough guy :D
Thanks for the info..as always it's really good to know .. especially your flexible hamstrings story.. Shouldn't there be some sort of collar to keep the weights from maybe sliding off the leg curl machine..?
Rip John!! You are missed but never forgotten!
I love that your wife works out with you! Helps to keep the relationship strong along with your health!
“And that’s how I got big hamstrings” 😂😂😂
Love the Flexible Hamstring Story... 'A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do'. Lol...
haha yep
Keeping it real !!
Lucky! My high school track coach was bald with a Tom Selleck mustache.
Loved that story about the track coach
best flexibility tips lol
LOL!
The wife is going to love this workout.
yes!
I freaking love your videos and workout knowledge/ intensity you incorporate! Keep up the great work! It never gets old!
cant wait to hit 45 and start wearing socks like that
Lmao 🤣 you could start now already. Why wait? Own that shit 😂🗣
Ok boomer
LVL60Beltran you wish you look half as good as John when you get 45. I suspect he looks better than you now and he's probably half your age.
LVL60Beltran 45? he looks like hes in his 50s
@@seanmassey8582 shut up
Mrs Meadows’ form on the first exercise was perfect as was her cadence.
We really miss John Meadows, but he's left behind a channel of pure GOLD!!!❤ Praying Mary and children are doing well!!!

what a legend, never misses leg day.
This is a fantastic channel. I’ve been training since 1998 and there are tips and tricks here that I haven’t encountered.
Excellent ty coach!
That track coach story 😂
Badass john... Still keeping us delighted from the afterlife❤️🙏🏽
LOL @ the reason for his hamstring flexibility. Great vid!
:)
Keep it coming john
you got it!
The ultimate personal trainer,Mountain Dog
Excellent work out. The best I seen in years for Hams and Gluets
That glute biased smith lunge looks fantastic.
Great video John Loved it
That looked great, can't wait!!!
haha loved how he done the bands...everyone you don't need nothing fancy if you TRULY want to get better
Thanks, always learn so much from your videos!
Thank you Jamie!
The story behind the flexibility 😂😂😂😂😂
youre the best !! so helpful
Dude I miss you dog the part you said you didn't want your wife hearing this , that's respectful as fuck man you're the fucking bomb I know God is getting swole up there with you man much love
Still learning from the best!
Great video
Hamstring.story😂😂😂😂
:)
great tips its gold keep up the good work
You're the best sir!! My favorite channel..
Had to comment, that hamstring story was awesome..lol.
lol..thank you!
Those lunges are a pain in the ass literally haha! Always love the workout tips
thank you beautiful!
Awesome story. She sounds like a real motivating coach
:)
Quality content.
Thank you!
I got to try this tomorrow
i've never seen this machine of the last exercise before! must be a really good activation of the hams... sad we can't find one of this here in Brazil. Great workout, though!
That was some good motivation right there!
I love leg curls, but that seated machine is like a torture device. I like the laying down machine, but they are getting rare now days.
Love the band idea
Glad to see there is such thing as leg curl machnes that use plate weights. I am about to max out the leg curl machines at my gym. I'm too fat/weak for the Glute Ham raise --- Need a resistence level between those two.
Brilliant workout. Thank you
I like that band idea.
Sweet man, I’ll try some of those techniques, Thanks
Ya thanks John my ass killed me today LOL
We miss you John..
RIP..

I love isholds (hard isometric contractions), but they would still only make up a small part of the training session
Good idea with bands
great stuff, thanks...

thats a tough program my brother!
@@mountaindog1 It is and yet I'm excited to test what my body can do. Hahaha
great vídeo
thank you!
I am sorry, John: my hams don't love you anymore.
Iam gonna give it a go!
Really want to grow my glutes more then anything else.
Put the big tyres on the bar and squat and you’d look like a beast
RIP mountain dog truly miss this videos...
12:33 John's wife be like
slow motion for me slow motion for me
Where that old equipment came from? I dont see those in te gym i go to....im confused
I cracked up when I heard that story from your track days 😂
i still dream of those days :)
Great way to be flexible. 👍
Can't wait to try that banded stiff leg 👍👍
Really liked the vid John! one question, do we do this on a separate day or incorporate it with the leg workout itself?
that is up to you....you can do quads with it too
Love it....dogs we are
hahaha
I want to try those lunges!
if I remember correctly I never saw mountaindog1 laugh once, there is only this old picture of him from the golden era I guess. I think this was the last time for him to smile - tough guy :D
hahahaahhaah!!!!
Great rack I mean track story 🤣😂😂
46 yr old Colombian. American from Brasil 🇧🇷 loves the smith glute gonna hit it
Que padre máquina para glúteos 😱
Watching those weights wiggle off the leg curl bar is worse than watching someone smoke a cigarette with a 2" long ash dangling off needing a flick.
The track story 🤣🤣
Fairlife rocks
Lol, at least he’s honest 😬
❤
