So the latest athleanx video pops up and the latest offering from the less popular Reddelta project also. Sorry Jeff your video will have to wait !

[@RedDeltaProject]

Appreciate the support S Man 🙏💪

[@sman53]

I don’t think much of the plastering on that squat wall !

[@mr.potatohead6138]

Jeff's video totally slams sissy squat for seemingly good reason. Any input on the subject?

[@marcelloantoniodreier4795]

@S Man well said!

[@sman53]

Mr. Potato head Jeff doesn’t advise increasing muscle tension in quads and hamstrings while doing the sissy squat which reduces load on the patella and quadricep tendon, Matt is a muscle tension guru

[@kramkalisthenics]

The magic to it is 2-3 days rest in between. Training the same muscles every day will break you down and stop gains.

[@curleyheadedchris9961]

RedDeltaProject can you do a video about cartilage health

[@marianolarrosa79]

Matt would you do a full body routine with finishers, please? I thank you in advance because everything you share is of great value to the RDP community

[@RedDeltaProject]

Not a bad idea, although the finishers are much more free-form in GSC as you can use whatever moves you like ot push the muscles to a high degree of fatigue

[@regprofant6984]

Sman two different philosophies. They actually conflict so you need to decide which way to go. Chain training is far more like an athlete should train rather than individual muscle groups which is more bodybuilding like. Both have their place but one needs to choose.

[@lildarkd]

What's your opinion on reverse nordic curls? Eccentric exercise for the quads.

[@RedDeltaProject]

I don't have one. Never really practiced them myself.

[@CalisthenicsNation]

Great

[@onceuponthecross1]

i can not believe that someone like you can "rest" for 3 days/week. I know i can't, gotta do something everyday if i am not sick, underfed or in a hurry.

[@RedDeltaProject]

lol, If you can call it rest. Although I did wake up feeling pretty off today, so maybe today will actually be a rest day. Well....maybe just a warm up set or two......

[@onceuponthecross1]

@@RedDeltaProject For one, you' re a gym trainer so you HAVE to do some sets every day to pump your arms and delts. It has been proven to increase income :P

[@jayjalloh3912]

Ive been doing shrimp squats for months, and my legs still hasn't adjusted to it (strength wise), my common sense theory is that as you grow your upper body, it becomes the "weight plates" for your legs.

[@onceuponthecross1]

Try doing the with hand support like Matt, it's totally different and you can focus in strength.

[@RedDeltaProject]

There's some merit to that for sure. The bigger you get, the stronger you get etc.

[@styleyK]

I love this, great upload. I am hitting the gym tomorrow morning, and probably will not be able to walk properly after this routine so I am blaming you in advanced 😉 Ha 👍🏿

[@RedDeltaProject]

Best of luck and my condolences to your quads.

I did the shrimp squats today before seeing this and without knowing the name of it lol. I'm surprisingly better at pistol squats than I thought. Good demo

Thanks Mat great content as usual! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@eliahaugustijnen9471]

I did sisy squats yester day and i was indeed putting my knees forward and not down, next time i ll do em better thank you for the tip man.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Naturally, they do have to go forward to some degree, but yet, putting them down will make quite the difference

Respect the grind!😠😬😣

[@RedDeltaProject]

Always, it holds a lot of potential.

[@carven2004eca]

Why do you prefer shrimp squats over elevated split squats? ESS are superior since you can go down lower. If you place your supporting leg in one of your handles you can go down and back at the same time. This makes the range of motion and the stability training a lot greater. Plus, it's less contact with outside surfaces which means less assistance. Shrimp squats don't go down as far, don't incorporate as much stability since you are pulling/leaning on a solid surface and you are using your arm for assistance.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Simple, they are way harder plus you can certainly make them deeper with the jumbo shrimp squat which is when you're on an elevated surface. Those suckers are the bomb and have a massive ROM to boot.

[@Ompasikom]

So the explosive calisthenics should be a finisher, not a warm-up?

[@RedDeltaProject]

You can do it either way. But the warm ups in GSC are more about tension creation and control which are both more difficult to achieve with an explosive technique.

[@cuchulainn1967]

I DON´T WANNA TELL ANYBODY WHAT TO DO, BUT I WROTE HERE IN THE COMMENTS PREVIOUSLY ABOUT MY CONCERN ABOUT SINGLE LEG SQUATS AND THAT THEY JUST CAN´T BE GOOD FOR YOUR HIPS AND/ OR KNEES ( I GAVE THE EXAMPLE OF THREE LEGGED DOGS AND THEIR LONG TERM JOINT DEGENERATION)..SOME OF YOU GUYS MOCKED ME FOR THIS...NOW, DON´T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, BUT YOU MIGHT WANT TO WATCH THIS GUY: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpeTapxnZap4l9U

[@dutcheswho6250]

So i guess one arm pushups and one arm pull ups are bad to? Single leg squats arent bad. Using bad form is bad

[@Thezaxapi]

You mentioned skiing, I have never been, but I love snowboarding. But I was wondering if you had exercise recommendations for that as well

[@RedDeltaProject]

Pretty much the same ideas go for that as well, plus throw in some heel walking to build strength in the shin muscles and heel stability

[@Adiusza]

Damn, I can do one leg squat easily but this first squats are so hard to do for me, definitly I must try harder :D , thank you for the workout :D

That's what I found too which is why I made the switch.
