    Yes yes the people. Hope you find the video helpful. If you think there's a better leg press type movement than Bulgarian split squats, I wanna know what it is (and why). x

      Great video mate, wanted to ask if when doing a leg press makes you distend the abdominal area, is this normal when pressing heavy weights and will that cause a bubble gut look, how can this be avoided when pressing a heavy weight? Thanks

    I've said it so many times before and I'm saying it again, it's a f*cking blessing that we get this knowledge for free. Scientific literature combined with a decade of experience lifting naturally. What an absolute chad. One of the only wholesome RUclipsrs out there who focus on delivering high quality knowledge rather than solely selling supplements and workout plans.
    Was literally just about to hit legs today and this video popped up. Splitting the calf exercises and rearranging them to give more time for the quads to rest is a real solid advice. This effectively improves the quality of the workout while also shortening the rest duration between the sets of the second leg-press-like movement. I'll also try making the final sets drop-sets as suggested and see how it affects my gains over 4 to 6 weeks. Thanks so much for the video and the time you take to explain every point in detail!

    I discovered your channel a few months ago and totally love your recent content. It fits perfectly into my lifestyle. You explain things based on questions i often tend to ask and research myself. Your full body routine video inspired and pushed me to make the step to finally switch to a full body routine as well. I’m in the fourth week and i love it. You also inspired me to finally stop squatting due to back pain and…because i don’t enjoy squatting anymore :). At least for now.
    Thank you very very much! Please keep doing this type of content. It’s great!

    6:40 can also do standing calf raises (i.e., in the smith) while maintaining a static knee flexion angle of about 30 degress throughout your calf raises. We do this in physiotherapy assessments to bias activation and contraction of the Soleus over the Gastrocs. Benefits include:
    - isometric activation and loading of the quads = more, free volume
    - no need for multiple setup / stations = more efficient leg day
    - can superset both Gastrocs and Soleus if you want to (i.e., straight leg calf raises --> 30 degree knee bend calf raises)

    Just ignore what everyone says and do it, make a "perfect workout" for upper body/push/pull. Which is what I want. :D
    I love the way you program. Full body is definitely goat and squats and RDL's are not absolutely essential. I love doing them and generally include them in my own programs, but I have to use them sparingly and intelligently or else I get burnt out.

  • @griffin5484
    @griffin5484 2 года назад

    i agree with your points about breaking up muscles used so they dont become too fatigued for the next exercise. As well strongly agree about the 'perfect' leg workout (or any PPL split) is better phrased as a perfect 2 workouts rather than. Also i switched to arnold split (chest/back,shoulders/arms,legs) because i found Push day i would comprise my chest for shoulders of vice versa. I think those abductor/adductor machines are also very good for help building the stabilizer muscles in your legs.
    My Current 'Perfect' leg day(s)
    Leg 1;
    Squats
    Barbell Hip Thrust
    Narrow stance (quad focused) leg press
    seated calf raise (or on leg press)
    leg curl
    hip abductor machine (inner thigh)
    leg 2
    RDL
    Narrow stance squat on smith machine (quad focused)
    Smith machine calf raise
    leg curl
    leg extension
    hip adductor machine (outer thigh)

  • @glenrisk5234
    @glenrisk5234 Год назад

    I start out with a single "compromise" leg workout at the beginning of a training cycle and split it into two more thorough leg workouts when I start training more about a third of the way into the cycle. Split upper body as well but not a push, pull split. I try to do everything alternating, a push set then a pull set so my muscles get a rest while my system remains under a fairly constant load.

  • @TeiteBumm
    @TeiteBumm 2 года назад

    in sitting calfpress the gastrocnemius is engaged in kneeflexion which means he shortens and the force possibly created by this msucle is preoccupied by the kneeflexion which then means he cant engage so much in the plantarextension and gives space for the soleus to create force -> damn good video thanks man

      @Dylan-ko2gj 2 года назад +2

      I've been lifting for 2 years and my physique isn't nearly as good as Joe's, but I've tried basically every split from bro splits, PPL, Upper/Lower, and Full Body. I don't like Full Body like Joe I just found it very taxing to do so many compound movements in one session and the volume was lacking for me. Bro splits are the most fun but you should really hit each muscle twice a week at minimum. Upper/lower is fantastic especially if you want to train only 4 times a week but the workouts are longer unless you skip on some arm or shoulder volume. PPL is probably the best split to recommend to the average person. However, it requires you actually train 6 times a week with real effort, which can be kind of a burn out for some people, myself included. I tend to do PPL into Upper/lower for a deload now

    Great video, super helpful content. I’m running a PPL-upper-lower 5-day split with the first 3 at home and days 4 & 5 at the gym. For many of us who have adjustable DBs and a bench, it is convenient to do at least some days at home (can’t run full body well because of this, which may not be optimal but ispractical). Point: videos on best exercises you can do with DBs for various body parts would be great. Or even how to design a split program (home + gym) optimally.

    Just out of interest, how long would it take you to complete this example workout? I'm relatively new to lifting (not quite a noob but definitely not a pro) and would estimate that this would take a minimu an hour and a half? I wouldn't be scrolling on my phone, of course, but when you factor in rest times I'm assuming this would be quite a lengthy workout. What do you guys think?
