Yoo, i got a Free Bodyweight Workout and an Arm Workout from you for Free!

[@obiwanquixote8423]

Love the channel, loved the content, and I respect a guy's need to run a business. But the selling has gotten a little intense lately. There was once a time when I feel the video would have called out the pros and cons of a bench vs roller for single leg squats and the need for setting up a correct height. The approach here was a little sensationalist and just comes across as trying to push your own equipment. Your authenticity and credibility speak for themselves. The hard sell devalues the brand that you've spent so long building.

[@jordandelmonico]

I agree, great content from this channel but the salesman shit is very annoying

[@muhammadtyson8676]

Aaand your a fkn loser. You should be thankful how much information we have for free, you can basically do your own program from all of the free information, but no you need to cry because they are selling too much. How do they make money ? You think they want to be broke like you?

[@mdb3102]

Boom! Direct hit!!! Squat University has the best tips and set up for doing Bulgarian Squats correctly without needing to buy any equipment. That channel has saved me so much time and pain.. KneesOverToes got some great content as well for split squatting

[@Mi11Ma]

Unfortunatly as soon as i saw him talking about the SS bench, i thought of this. But hey, i respect the hustle

[@laughingtothebanklikehahah3618]

Someone’s gotta pay the bills

[@radreynolds8978]

The roller point is overstated. If you have a lower bench/plyo box and good mobility you can quite easily reach the floor with your knee. Especially if you place your foot/ankle closer to the edge. This is a decent selling point for your own equipment but let's not mess around here - it's perfectly possible to do it without the roller.

[@drip369]

It's not quite the same when you can feel the tension in your toes digging into a bench versus hanging your foot over let's say a padded barbell behind you where your foot does feel like it's generally floating

[@ryancross3065]

It's definitely not the same, I used to do it on a bench, then started using a roller and it is 10x better, you have more stability/balance which in turn ypu are able to put more intensity into the lift and really focus on it, I don't feel the bench gives the same feedback in my opinion, plus most people i see dont have the greatest mobility, but hey each to there own, do what ever you prefer to do

[@jjhbball]

Just use the smith machine and it fixes most of these issues.

[@TODOMATIO]

Smith machine baby ;)

[@rudyspective1870]

THANK YOU DANE FOR SAVING MY LIFE!! You confirmed my belief on the leg press and leg extensions as valid exercise options, while warning me on the others ( I don't do them anyway). Great job!

[@federicowicho8802]

So this is just an ad for his app and gym equipment lmao

[@ericalexander9769]

Why the dudes in the first part look like they were in a midieval torture chamber ?🤦🏾‍♂️😂🤣

[@GarageStrength]

😂😂 - it's amazing the things you can do with a cable crossover as well

[@rudyspective1870]

I'm shocked that the gym owner even let them do dumb things like that, lol!

[@jhawthorne689]

I always felt like explosive half squats, where I take a relatively light weight and focus on going down to my jumping height and rebounding as explosively as possible, always helped with my jumping the most.

[@ericyoung0099]

What would be the modification to split squats when you do not have the Single Leg Squat Stand? I usually use a lower 'box' and have a pad below the knee, but the foot placement on the box or bench always feels awkward... If I have a rack available and set up a barbell low with a mat over it, would that be better than a low box/bench?

[@GarageStrength]

Switch to dumbbells... or go much lighter. The problem with a bench is that it puts you in a compromising position with heavy load and can be very unsafe... DBs won't give the risk potential, but it won't be as beneficial in regards to loading as a traditional single leg squat with proper equipment... a lower bench could help, just wouldn't recommend that heavy of load.

[@ericyoung0099]

@@GarageStrength thanks for the reply... On a side note, I have been using the Peak Strength app for a few months now and really enjoy it! I tend to use weight I can completely control, so going lighter isn't an issue. I actually started using the lower box specifically because the bench felt too high and I always ended up searching for a better position, even mid-set lol.

[@GarageStrength]

@@ericyoung0099 That's awesome to hear. Super glad you're seeing success from the workouts!

[@Fillingtempel]

What is your opinion on zercher lifts?

[@Polack-ml9fh]

For some reason I still love doing shrugs as warm up.

[@drip369]

I really don't think the Bulgarian split squat was named such as if it came from Bulgaria, similarly I don't think the Nordic hamstring curl came from the Nordic lands, they likely came from Greece but it's just what people call them. Same thing with Deadlift Rows being called English Rows and they did not come from England. Same with the folklore of a Romanian kid not allowed to bang weights outside his mom's kitchen window so he only set the bar down after his sets, gently, and we have the Romanian deadlift (people do call them SLDLs so your SLS and the BSS are the same thing (like the aforementioned English rows being aka deadlift rows))

[@Magneticlaw]

I personally enjoy performing Baklavarian Polar Bear lifts and Zutovian bicep curls.....

[@Nolisthegoat3000]

Where did you get that shirt?

[@jjhbball]

The knock on the RFESS is too pedantic, in my opinion, but the roller sure looks nice. I think I also disagree with your take on the quarter squat. I say "think" because it is more nuanced discussion. It doesn't replace deeper squats but I think it is a good in-season tool for joint-angle specificity, or as you stated, transference.

[@boonruengchotchoung6594]

Thank you verymuch. 👍🙏💪🌹♥️♥️♥️🌷🌠💫🌌😘

[@PhoebeVLK4x15]

can you do the single leg squat with DBs

[@drip369]

Do you want to use my belt or can I do the honors and you just coach me through it

[@stephenbramel9395]

I would add the weighted side bend I see that and the loaded down leg press probably the most.

[@goblinsgym]

For the split squat, I used a small Ikea Samla box turned over, combinef with a foam roller.

[@Bigdillgmaing]

Can you do more lineman workouts? I’m in eighth grade.

[@arnebrynjar3109]

Bulgarian squats aren't supposed to be performed with a heavy load. They were created specifically to be performed with light weights because the equilibrium factor makes it hard to perform. Overloading the Bulgarian squat is dangerous, even the Chinese and Russian Olympic weightlifting teams performs them with light weights. Read the Soviet Performance training from 1970.

[@Bigman.I.S.]

Idk about this one

[@itSBreezyBoii]

MF DOOM 4 LIFE. You got great taste in Music!

"Yep... scariest moment of my life" Dane: *maniacal laughing*

[@paintballtennisman]

I’ll throw out a twist here. Can you guys do a video on training for competitive tournament paintball? I’ll be training in my garage for the upcoming season this winter.

[@TheComedyButchers]

I hate to compare them, but you’d do best with trying to replicate military training. Practice sets of Bounding(3-5 Second Rushes), running in gear, carrying a teammate(if that’s applicable), etc. If you go to a university, ask your ROTC Ranger Challenge team how they train. If you know combat vets, ask how they train. Best yet, use something like THOR3 or Tactical Barbell.

[@paintballtennisman]

I’ve been through military training before and it definitely helps. Modern tournaments are more fast paced and closer to an extreme sport than like a boot camp. I really need to work on explosiveness, agility, reaction time, cardio, and the ability to crawl quickly and stand in weird positions for long periods. The closest thing I thought was soccer and football training.

[@Alatriste90]

"Scariest moment of my life" *laughs histericaly* lol PD: What can I do if I want to make single leg squats but dont have a roller like the one you use?

[@GarageStrength]

You gotta do what you can. Try to find lower bench or box and put a pad or folded yoga mat on ground... Use Dumbbells for safety or go lighter with barbell so you don't risk injury. If you can only use high bench then go Dumbbells.

[@Alatriste90]

@@GarageStrength I guess I have been doing it right then. I put one of those handstand push up pads for my knee to fall into and a couple of low boxes for my foot. I had been worring that maybe it was not as effective. Thanks coach!

[@zefsagala8327]

Frank Zane (bodybuilder with one of the smallest waists) was a strong advocate against using weighted sit ups and weighted side bends because they would overdevelop the obliques/ rectus abdominis and this can ruin V taper aesthetic physique So basically abs training will make the waist smaller which is good for aesthetic physique but weighted abs training will only overdevelop the obliques which is bad for aesthetics What about single arm farmer walk? Will this exercise overdevelop the obliques like weighted sit ups and weighted side bands?

[@googlegmail9888]

Bro 2 unskippable 15 second ads?

[@bruno1728]

What is your opinion on single leg squats with one leg straight infront(calistenics style). And adding weight with a dumbell?

[@bruno1728]

Or like weighted pistol squats in the front rack position

[@brendanholohan7237]

Too many advertisements.

I did quarter squat cause my form started to fail.... on a high rep squat set. 25 reps don't ask why haha by the 3rd set I'm doing half of them a quarter lol

[@sebastianrxis]

Its to expensiv this single leg roller

[@ziobrov2907]

I tought the guy on the miniature was luka doncic

[@viralvidsrepository4632]

Hmmm. Been consistent for a year and a half now working out (started not having worked out for years). Had zero trap size at the beginning. Have only done shrugs to hit traps, and they are noticeably large now. First thing people comment on. More noticeable than the guy in the vid. Not trying to flex, just the truth.

[@Jay-gj1rl]

What if I already use Peak Strength!?

[@danielj.rhoads1622]

That $250 stand will sell better if you call it a Bulgarian Split Squat Stand.

[@rogueelephant7994]

DOOOMM for life

[@pastaalalamborghini]

Alright dude relax with the plugs. I appreciate the fact that this is your business but I don’t want to feel like I’m watching an infomercial. Are Bulgarian split squats actually stupid or was that just on the list to plug the shit out of your own shit?

[@Poopoocachoo]

Man I was going to say the same thing. All you need to do is give him $500 and download his app and you too can be doing exercises 5% more efficiently!

[@puesbien]

This comment section is gold

[@andrewsherman2398]

Love your content but stop trying to sell me stuff

[@drhjhulsebos]

Tbh, it supports their athletes and gets name recognition out there. You like the content an another athlete sees the gear, they ask about it and get directed to the same content that helped you. I'm currently visiting the gym with my daughter now, and it would be hard to find a better place to develop. Their trainers are all top performers and even when they're working with multiple clients their paying absolute attention to your form, your fatigue, your exercise selection and if they see deficiencies in your mobility they're going to correct it. My daughter was really upset when coach Legend (discus) said "times up."

[@puesbien]

Love the channel but holy shit you should’ve just posted this one on QVC instead of here.

[@Caesar00Chan]

I’m lovin the MF DOOM shirt 🤙🏻

[@eclipsewrecker]

Wow…..split squat….worst? The truth is it can be easily done “wrong,” but too many do it well enough where I’m from to negate “worst.”

[@bjoernfischer]

he just wants to sell his single leg squat stand, haha. :D I agree that it would be more optimal with something like this, but I don't spend almost 300€ for this and carry it to my gym all day. :D
