Hill Sprints for Strong Legs

[@AndNowIJustSitInSilence]

I currently live in the netherlands. It's so flat you can see your worst enemy coming along one week ahead. Seriously, there are no hills here 😑

[@Simnettnutrition]

That is too bad! Good for biking though :p

[@mikeshowfaith8207]

sabi ibas 😂😂😂

[@j9405]

sabi ibas i live in florida, its the same, just conjested and pretty ghetto😂

[@semirusenagic1236]

looool haha best comment haha

[@Basicguy1798]

that was funny... treadmills with incline would do

[@ryandeffley7652]

Hill sprints are usually generalized for conditioning/fat loss. While it's true that it's awesome conditioning, it's often overlooked for the strength/power benefits. Once spring hits, I always add outdoor hill sprints into my training 2x a week on non lifting days. Since I started up again a month ago, I've already seen my squat shoot up a good 30lbs.

[@Sam-pg8cs]

I definitely need to try this.

[@thebestever42]

If you do it intervall style. It will have more similar adaptations as weighttraining. If you take the breaks, its better for growth

[@unknownbastard123]

You live in fitness heaven!

[@MrEmanResu]

Neat. There's a grass hill like this by me I used to run up. I think I'll start doing that again. Great for speed!

[@ac80577]

Hill sprints = best HIIT exercise ever.

[@kbkesq]

That’s a brilliant set up they have there for you and that helps avoid the real downside of stairs which is going downhill whose shearing forces really cause aggravation knee injuries for those with knee problems and can even cause knee problems for people to do a lot of stadiums. Great video thanks

[@Simnettnutrition]

I wish I still lived near it. Super fun though!

[@DeanJC100]

would also love to see the rest of your leg workout if possible, great videos, keep it up!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Okay sweet. I will definitely do that in the near future. Thanks for the comment!

[@itwasntme328]

Just started hill sprints with my lifting routine.. 40 yards, not THAT steep though. This plus squats and deadlifts make my leg muscles pop like like crazy!! It's great. I started with 5, then the next week 6, 7 and so on.. Definitely exausted by the end, but you adapt quick. I want to get to around 10, then eventually 20.

[@moondragon05]

great video brother, i can't wait to try it out. toronto weather is kinda crazy atm, but sometime later this week. keep up the good work. much love from a fellow canadian.

[@benda777nba]

that slide is so cool! even though I live in south texas i can still find hillls on my parents land; I did hill sprints yesterday in the morning and today my booty is sore!! so i am a firm believer in hill training! of course my races got canceled so I am still keepinng up my training these next few months!

[@nobody-ow1st]

Bro. That's like an adult playground. I would be doing that all day just to go down the slide. Great video man. For those who don't have that awesome park, can find a tall building and run up the fire exit stairs. Right?

[@Simnettnutrition]

+Random Vegan You wouldn't believe it. They have like an outdoor parkour set up right behind this too. Skateboard park and bike park close by too. And YES! Stairs are amazing for this too!

[@nobody-ow1st]

Simnett Nutrition Parkour sounds epic. I wish I had all that. I live in the country...

[@liezlmaree4897]

I feel like it'd be hard for me to determine"until failure" or just giving up. The lines get kinda blurry when I'm weak and tired! I gotta work on that mental game man

[@Simnettnutrition]

As long as you keep pushing that line of 'until failure' will continue to get pushed back. Your comfort zone will naturally expand and you will push a little further or harder next time. Keep it up!

[@Kevin-gf1yk]

How often do you do this workout?

[@deonte1037]

What brand shoes are those? They look cool and comfortable

[@Browney]

Ahh nice!

[@Simnettnutrition]

+Browney Browney! Thanks mate. My second biggest follower! How is your training going?

[@Browney]

+Simnett Nutrition great! After I'm finishing this program i want to focus more on calisthenics :)

[@martinavancampfort9638]

Ik vind het leuk om te zie hoe jij bezig bent met kracht training .

[@dc13172003]

great video. looking forward to your leg workout

[@Simnettnutrition]

+dc13172003 Great, thanks.

[@stoonookw]

Love you Simnett!

[@thechoomofdoom6979]

The slow mo while zooming in on the calves reminds me of that scene from 300 when that Spartan jumps in the air and cuts off that Persians dude arm before he tries to use his whip on him lol

[@TRU-p2u]

I do fast pase at the incline I love them I also introduce weights as well

[@doktoren99]

Real nice. Is that a rollercoaster in the back, tho?

[@jimmcintyre4390]

That’s a dream setup.

[@SamsonPavlov]

I used to do; 50 meters uphill 70% power, 30 meters downhill 50% power, 20 meters walk.

[@mikediz5900]

Do you do the grouse grind? Good workout or too long?

[@adrian_certified]

Will this help grow my leg muscles? Or is it just for strength and endurance?

[@alfredkaizirege]

If combined with leg exercises like dead lifts, weighted squats, Romanian dead lifts and Bulgarian split squats, you are going to see massive changes . Otherwise if done in isolation all you are doing is conditioning you legs.

[@boxerjjp9416]

I want legs like you bro.keep up the awsome work

[@kurtfranklin2680]

Looks fun!

[@frankperry569]

@Simnett .. . I like that who makes it

[@gaming_with_rex4031]

Hill sprints are the best!

[@Mattedmz]

There's a huge street incline by my house... Probably like 3x the size of that incline n I felt like I was gonna die after a couple attempts lol.. awesome workout tho, I felt muscle activation all throughout my legs like never before. Legs were literally shaking after words, really invested in implementing these workouts to my routine..

[@breynoldssr3703]

Great Vid.

[@garryacuesta9901]

Proper or adequate warmups before doing hill sprint otherwise you'll injure your calves muscles and be decommissioned about 3mos.

[@tomakram872]

great leg workout definitely try these out what if you don't have hills to do it

[@rooooooby]

I like doing hill sprints on bigger hills (~300 meters) and with weights.

[@michaelblue7852]

Ah wish i had a slide like that. Hate going back down.

[@deandeano6075]

What is the make/brand of these trainers you wear here? Good vids btw!

[@aripr6]

Awesome workout

[@SalmanKhan-em8xc]

Also make video on thigh injury

[@jcp1756]

i'd workout there every week just for the slide

[@tomakram872]

thanks bro

[@danielestrada8835]

That’s what I’m talking about

[@sincarafan3]

Does it build your legs up with a little mass too ?

[@kieran8845]

Do you have any tips to avoid knee injuries? I've been incorporating a lot of hill sprints in my HIIT sessions outdoors which I absolutely love ! But sometimes feel slight twinges in my left knee and both of them make a cracking noise when I bend down and stand up.

[@LiamLpool]

look into strengthening your tibialis!

[@Arnmazing23]

Wheres the sprint?

[@ramkripalyadav7220]

I have to go Himalaya to get a hill .!!!

[@olivia1uk]

will stairs do the same

[@Simnettnutrition]

+olivia1uk Yes, stairs are awesome for getting that heart rate up. They won't be exactly the same because when you are sprinting up a hill the angle of the ground seems to hit muscle differently, but it is a good alternative for sure!

[@olivia1uk]

+Simnett Nutrition thanks

[@MimicGriphon]

Make sure to drink more water than usual doing this btw, sprinting up inclines and stairs is known for VERY high body temps.

[@renematosjr]

Good stuff, keep it up. peace.

[@Simnettnutrition]

+Rene Matos Thank you!

[@drewmorg.]

That's a really cool sprint hill! Wonder if I can find one here in OC/ LA.

[@Simnettnutrition]

+drewmorgan They have everything in LA no?

[@drewmorg.]

Simnett Nutrition Everything except moral fiber.

[@Simnettnutrition]

drewmorgan Hahaha, too funny.

[@ac80577]

i personally do steep uphill sprints 30 seconds each.

[@becky4489]

how many reps ?

[@jackgrefiy8724]

the last time i did this i got a shin splint .. Before i did it i have been running quite regularly. I have not been able to even run for 3 months.. I've just started jogging slowly now.. it is fucking sad

[@firthlord2200]

Jack Grefiy how did you fix your shin splint pain?

[@c.t.9681]

Firth SmithLord I used Dr. scholls active series insoles, eliminating the pain completely, even runners knee.

[@Evi3142]

Firth SmithLord ask a health professional. The only what to solve it is by eliminating the cause. Shin splints are such a broad topic that it can be a lot of things. Your shoes, the way that you walk, the way that your bones have grown, tention in muscle membranes. For me it was that i alsway ran wrong (landed on my heels), that i always stood and ran with my knees locked, and that I walk to much on the inside of my foot, so i need soles. This was figured out by 4 diffrent health professionals that all have lots of experience in there respective specialisation. And it is still not solved completely

[@BankruptMonkey]

Jack Grefiy try using the Chi Running form, it really reduced the strain on my shins and I haven't had a shin injury again since

[@wienersausage8332]

It’s nice to see that jesse pinkman started working out

[@Starblood64]

can I replace these with stairs?

[@Simnettnutrition]

Oh ya. Try ump squats going up the stairs.. wow

[@CianCrowe]

Was just wondering what runners/trainers u wear ,thanks?

[@Simnettnutrition]

Hey! These are called Cush shoes, they are just a casual shoe that looks kind of sporty. I have a video on my runners though, check it out!

[@CianCrowe]

Simnett Nutrition thanks will do!

[@drin_dervina]

I go there some times

[@houssamzak]

Amazing

[@LyricalQuickblade]

I live in Van too. Where about a is this hill ?

[@josephwilliams6066]

what the camera you use ?

[@crazycreed6675]

what if I did the same. concept but bike a bike? Would I still get bigger legs?

[@Tony-uc8mg]

your workout is my warm-up brother 👍

[@Simnettnutrition]

Haha, cool story. Check out some of my other videos. Glad you are pumped on yourself though.

[@jung9399]

Can this help with your vertical jump

[@RafaelBarcellosMachado]

Well, I don't have any hills nearby... could I use stairs instead? I have this 10 steps staircase at home that would do very well I guess

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yes for sure. Anything is better than nothing!

[@RafaelBarcellosMachado]

I just tried it and it was great. When climbing, I skiped each other step and did it for 5 minutes

[@Simnettnutrition]

***** That's great! Good for you man!

[@a2rahmatsuryadi347]

how to get bigger leg??

[@johnp9298]

Problem with this is that your feet are splaying out which is bad posture. And if your feet were straight forward you would be risking a pulled tendon. Too steep. Better a bit less steep but longer hill

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks for the feedback. This was insanely steep, I have since moved away from here so temptation is gone. Haha. Subscribe for more near injuries!

[@jules4935]

would you just do 20 of those sprints as a full workout?

[@Simnettnutrition]

When I would drive by that place and not be in a rush I would sometimes do about 20-30 and hop back in the car. Sometimes I would do pull ups after, sprint the track. Always different. Thanks for the question.

[@jules4935]

man thanks for the answer! love it that you do that so much :D

[@Simnettnutrition]

beast jeweetzelf No problem. Thanks for the support!

[@timothymckey9633]

Make me fucking do it. Let's see if you can.

[@mohamedallam9849]

Thanks but i ask the best sets and reps in streetworkout

[@Simnettnutrition]

+Mohamed Allam Oh sorry. I like to change it up. Sometimes I will go really heavy or difficult and do fewer reps, but I always like to do about 4 sets. Generally I like to do between 6 and 12 reps though. Any less and I find I don't get a good pump on, any more and I think (for me at least) it's too easy and I don't like doing that many reps.

[@RVLDRVLDRVLD]

No warm up?

[@Simnettnutrition]

I have a video on my warm ups. I was doing some calisthenics near by. Nice and warmed up.

[@kamranhussain3159]

hey I have a question about stamina, to improve it should you do short sprints or long jogs?

[@plug481]

long jogs

[@ali-v3387]

long sprint jogs

[@kamranhussain3159]

+ALi -V lol cant do it mate, not good at multi-tasking

[@kamranhussain3159]

+Murtaza Qureshi thanks

[@kamranhussain3159]

+MrFitnessFanaticFoodFanatic like HIIT?

[@mohamedallam9849]

What's the best num of sets ,reps and rest

[@Simnettnutrition]

+Mohamed Allam Agreed with MrFitness. I usually do my sprints on a hill that is about 45 meters in length and I do about 10-15 full speed runs up it resting for about 10-30 seconds at the bottom. But there is no right and wrong answer here, just challenge yourself and get out there and do it! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@SXLLXNBXE]

@@Simnettnutrition i can only run 10 before "failure" atm. should i rest a bit more and continue sprints after failure or just keep grinding this way

[@GameChanger-hj9jx]

Lucky fucker! Looks soooo fun!

[@LagOknenonok]

How much cardio do you do? :)

[@Simnettnutrition]

I am very active and enjoy "cardio" exercises like cycling, hill sprints and going for a run 2-3 times a week. I don't time myself or go for a specific distance while running or cycling, I just have fun with it!

[@LagOknenonok]

I really like sprints, because I like the feeling of being "explosive".. So doing them 2-3 times a week would be ideal then I suppose? :) I'm worried that I might overdo the frequency, which is the reason I ask Thank you for your reply! :)

[@Simnettnutrition]

***** Just listen to your body. I honestly don't know enough about the science behind frequency of training to really tell you. It also depends on what else you are doing and how intense and long you are training. But I would say 2-3 times per week should be okay.

[@LagOknenonok]

Thank you! :) I have major respect for the decisions you have made regarding your health, and you give me inspiration to strive towards a more plant-based diet and an active life. Keep it up! :)

[@Simnettnutrition]

***** That's amazing! Let me know if you have any questions or need some support.

[@mr.potatohead6138]

Thats beside PNE, right?

[@Simnettnutrition]

+Paul bee You betcha! That rollercoaster right behind it was in the movie Fear. Quite an interesting scene with Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon ;)

[@mr.potatohead6138]

Been on that rickety wooden thing years ago, I am in Ladner bc now, born and raised in Richmond. Wish there was a workout park around here.

[@TheMesoPeaks]

You can't just do that without hitting legs in the gym right? You need leg strength too to be able to perform hills sprints better...

[@ETLAPESTE]

you could call that: calves workout

[@hasankhaled9041]

What was the song used in the video?

[@Chris-MusicTheoryAndFretboard]

"Behind these Closed Doors" by Otis McDonald

[@dmonk952]

Is that the PNE?

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yes it is!

[@dmonk952]

Nice! Great channel !

[@Simnettnutrition]

David Mc D Thanks so much! Yes, check it out. There is a parkour kind of set-up as well and a beautiful track.

[@wileyschmitt]

"Go hard. Push. Push hard. Push, push, push." How articulate.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks for the comment.

[@saba4525]

Why the fuck is there just a rollercoaster in the back

[@BakaDemi]

ah vancouver, the city famous in the world for money laundering and thus unaffordability

[@CsVipar4]

Can you please post the rest of your exercises that you do for your legs? And also we are waiting for the human flag tutorial :D Keep it up , man!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Don't hold your breath too long for that flag turtle. I still have to get it. It's something that is really hard unless you put the time in. For my legs I have been going to the gym lately and doing deep squats, calve raises, leg extensions. I also ride my bike lots. I will do a video on it in the future though.

[@jeungbou]

Nice endurance training. But definitely not suited for speed, power or hypertrophy.

[@tomakram872]

ab routine please

[@Simnettnutrition]

+Mohammed akram I'm going to head out right now and try to film one. Keep an eye out for that.
