Rehab from a torn ACL really made me learn the hard way how much you can compensate on the squat without even noticing, and how some parts of your quads and hips can be lagging hard and you can still technically squat fine. Have become a huge fan of machines and single leg work

The Exercise band model/simulation is an extremely elegant demonstration of the lengthening and shortening of the muscle. I watch a ton of 'fitness youtube' and can't believe I haven't seen it before. I hope the main idea lands with viewers - if you aren't moving in a way that aligns with the muscle's purpose, you aren't doing anything!

Not exactly that. The muscles going over two joints which therefore doesn’t change length much in certain exercises. What they do is instead move the load from knee to hip, or the other way. This is called the Lombard's paradox. What he is saying is that those muscles don't get enough training in the exercises when they work like that. So he adds exercises where one of these joints aren't moving, so the muscle has to streach and compress, and thereby do work.

Solid advice as always! I struggle with barbell squats as I have very long legs, right now I do bulgarian split squats and leg press alternating weeks. For the posterior chain I do RDL and barbell hip thrusts alternating weeks, then leg extensions, leg curl (lying as it's what my gym has) alternated with back extensions to hit the lower back and hamstrings, then calf work and lying hip flexor raises too. Throw in the odd reverse lunge from time to time.

There are some ways to make squats less fatiguing and hit the target muscles more. First and foremost: stick to a bodybuilding rep range, somewhere between 5 to 15 reps. Secondly, create worse leverages like doing Platz squats or standing on a slant board. Also, if you're doing them in a squat rack and put the safeties in the perfect position, you can take the last set to failure. I did it for a while and it can be fun in a scary kind of way. You can't take every set to failure though, its a hassle to take off all the plates and put everything back on 😅 As someone with a home gym, for the rectus femoris i like sissy squats. Alex Leonidas did a great video on it a while back. I have noticed a lot of growth since doing them on the regular.

Exactly, since I've ditched the typical "8 reps" sets and aimed to get 15 reps, I feel the quads, my back is safe, and get awesome pumps. You just need bigger lungs😊 However, there are periods when I switch to another squat movement, usually hack squats or sometimes leg press, but after a while I always return to back squats because it's a basic exercise for me. My mentality is if I can do squats with perfection and enduring pain, I can do anything.
@cken27
@cken27 5 ай бұрын
This video is great at explaining how stiff deadlifts (hip extension), seated leg curls (knee flexion), and leg extensions (knee extension) can complement the squat movement by targeting the hamstrings and quads more completely. I appreciate this content, but I don't think seat reclined leg extension can nearly match the motion of hip flexion, which is almost always ignored in fitness content. I recommend doing cable front kicks or knee strikes with the anchor on your ankle to address this. Stand straight and away from the cable for a good stretch, and hold onto something for balance as you’ll be standing on one leg.

The fun thing about squats is that I often learn something new while/after doing them. For example, depending of how my body feels, I can change the position or angle of the squat and I can focus on glutes and hips, or on quads more, or I can go as deep as I wish. As long as your form isn't really bad, then it's your choice how you do them.

I have a love/hate relationship with not just squats but all the traditional barbell lifts. In terms of strength, nothing packed on more overall strength than the classic lifts. However, as the years go by they can feel extremely taxing on the body sometimes. They are not necessary if you don’t like doing them. Dumbbells & Machines are perfectly fine substitutes.

@@StopTheDamnTape That’s true. There is a lot of dogmatism around the big 3 and powerlifting. The only thing I will say is that if there aren’t any recovery issues, they can be efficient if you can recover from them. The other extreme is doing shit loads of volume with garbage programs that you see in Men’s Health magazines hence, a lot of people struggle to build a decent physique even though it’s not that difficult. I myself am thinking of incorporating some more calisthenics. I think that is a nice way to train with also throwing in some weights here & there.

I do sissy squats instead of leg extensions. It loads the muscles the same, but with even more ot that leaning back you do with leg extensions. Some trainers belive those two exercises are bad for your knees, but they aren’t if you are healthy. You wont have healthy knees if you dont load them. These exercises does load the knees, so you should regard them as training of them too. That means, dont load the knees more than they can take. It takes years to get tendons and joints to become strong, so extreamly slow progress! At age 76, I know how to keep joints healthy, and how important that is! I do the rest of your exercises pretty much as you describes so well in the video, and those 4 for the same reasons as you explained. Old knowledge for me, even though I'm not a trainer. Just pretty knowledgeable about anatomy and biomechanics.

What are your recs for someone wtih chronic low back pain and a swollen (but not burst) L6 disc? Currently I can only do full-range bodyweight squats. Anything heavier and I feel like my spine is gonna snap in two. I've compensated by doing 100 reps of bodyweight squats (divided by 3-4 sets) and then doing incline leg presses at a shorter range of motion, with leg curls and seated calf raises for accessory workouts. Anything I can add to this to maybe address the back?

The rectus femoris is essentially the kicking muscle. If you've ever had pain while kicking a ball then you need to strengthen the rectus femoris. In fact, you can actually practice the kicking motion using a cable machine. Strap the cable to your ankle and allow your hip to go into extension while the knee is flexed, then contract your rectus to bring your leg as far out in front of your body as you can. It works in the same way when your knee extension machine has no seat, but you have much more control over the range of the movement.. Also, if you want to train the hip flexion aspect of the rectus femoris then you could do that too by using a cable and just flex the hip while keeping your knee completely flexed as well. And if you truly want to shred your rectus femoris then you could position the cable high above your ankle and extend your knee while it is completely flexed and your hip is completely extended. I would not recommend this to anyone who has never trained their knees before because you will definitely majorly tear something. You have to build up to it by doing your knee extensions first.

Although the gym i go to doesn't have the leaned back lex extension to emphazise the rectus femoris. And yes... i hate the bss due to the lower back discomfort, pain and some stiffness it causes me, but i love it a little at the same time 😆

I’m 35 now and have been training consistently since I was 17. And consistently being weekly. I’ve done it all when it comes to fitness from bodybuilding to powerlifting to CrossFit and now handbalance and calisthenics(with some weights). And I will say one of the best things I stopped doing was heavy squats and heavy deadlifts.

Bro. I hope My question be noticed. I have this problem many years ago. Its been here for 5 Years. Btw I'm 20. When I do push-ups, my right arm which is my dominant hand. Always get the tension and no matter what I do, my left arm doesn't get any tension at all. I look like Charger from Lefordead. I hope you make content featuring this issue. Thank you!!

I love the barbell squat but I've noticed the leg workouts where I don't do them tend to feel the best in regards to the stimulus vs fatigue ratio

I'm increasingly a fan of squats as a "power" rather than strength exercise. Like, 3ish reps at a time, never a doubt (70-80%), short-ish rest or clusters. It seems to give a lot without taking as much out of me.

@Keprotica then you have your definition backwards. Strength exercise rather than a power. In powerlifting you are trying to produce the most amount of force to move as much weight as possible. For strength conditioning it's to strengthen your everyday movement and keep your muscles and tendons healthy.

@FINsoininen but are people not the ones generating that power? Are we not doing the lifting? What else would you call it specifically. It's still correct since we are generating force and displacing an object over time.

So do you have an optimal CKC (Closed Kinetic Chain) exercise for the Rectus Femoris Muscle? I have had in the past knee pain (patella femoral pain) from doing leg extensions. My Orthopedic doctors tell me don't do leg extensions because they are OKC. So some CKC options would be awesome.

I actually fully agree with this. With so many other ways to train legs, there's really no reason to unless you truly love back squats. I'm really working on getting better at Bulgarian split squats which I find far more challenging. Then a hack squat is great just to push heavy weight/overload.

I feel the same about deadlifting and variations of it, although more forgiving even on an off day than squats. At some point it doesnt make sense to be fatigued for days when it wasnt even a PR. I feel fresh when I am lifting below 175 at 117lbs. Anytime I shoot for over 235 I'm dead for 2-3 days. I could bulk, but nah 😂
