Squats suck ass, totally. But make no mistake, they benefit not just your legs but whole body and make a more anabolic environment within the body (if done properly with good form). I trained first 4-5 years without doing squats and everything but. I had decent legs too, but when I started squatting and squatting heavy. My legs exploded and whole body got bigger and better.

This is exactly kzbin.infoUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS what I needed to get some exercise while I'm stuck at my desk all day. It's just the right size. Only downsides are that the right oeddale unscrews itself while I use it and increasing the tension causes it to squeak while in use. Both are minor issues that aren't that important to me. So I give it 5 stars.

Good advice. I do different squat-variations because it has worked the best for me. But for people who hate or can't do barbell squats I'd highly recommend hack squats. It enables you to get a below 90 degrees range of motion and you can put on more weight since your back is supported. One of the best leg-exercises in my opinion!

Nice leg program! I know it will work well. Here’s my experience - for years, My legs would not grow significantly until…..I started doing Bulgarian squats. Haha! You mentioned you weren’t looking forward to them. I Must admit, they are so painful and make me gulp for air, but so damn effective for muscle growth. It took me a while (weeks) to get the balance, control and fluidity of this exercise to maximize growth. Once, I mastered that, my legs grew like a weed and are separated with good shape. I don’t have to pile on heavy weights like traditional squats or leg presses. Just some light dumbbells are more than enough. At first, I used just bodyweight. One thing though, they are hard to do keeping tempo and squeezing at top. Burn is fiery intense and very unpleasant but rewarding. Major soreness for days post. However, the growth was so satisfying!!

Amazing quality content Richard! Just in all curiousity but what is the main reason you prefer reverse lunges instead of forward lunges? My favorites are 1) Hack Squat, 2) Romanian Deads with the Hex/trap Bar (with heels elevated) and 3) Dumbbell Front Squat!
@richard_duchon2 жыл бұрын
reverse lunges are easier because you’re balancing on the foot that stays in place, with forward lunges you’re balancing on the foot that you’re taking a step forward with and that’s a lot harder. Hope that makes sense, you can also only do reverse lunges when using the smith machine

Love the approach! Impressive results! Have a comment on the RDL though - mostly because of beginners watching your routine. You are not hinging at the hips - looking at the video your hips are essentially motionless and all the movement comes from your upper body (bending at the waist). It still does the trick as you are very strong and maintain straight back. But in reality your back is exposed and you could find ways to further improve form.

He's doing a stiff legged deadlift. You can do them with the knees slightly bent, as he is doing in this video, or with the legs straight, which emphasizes the stretch in the hamstrings. His form is very good, it's just that he got the name of the exercise wrong in the video.

A tip mate, keep your cervical spine neutral when lifting, in this case it's in a risky degree of flexion when you're doing the smith lunges because you're looking down. This puts the C6C7 disk at risk. Your lumbar spine enter flexion as well in the romanian deadlift, the movement should only be in the hips. I wish someone had told me this during my early years, because the price of not doing this has been real high.

@@EatinMySandwich Anyone preaching spinal flexion when lifting is someone that you shouldn't listen to. What happens when you allow for spinal flexion in an RDL is that you have to go deeper to get the same stretch as when you keep the spine neutral and only allow movement in the hips. If i allow flexion i can touch my toes, if i don't i don't come half way until i get the same stretch. I suggest that you look at this video with Dr. Mcgill kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYikgmOnbc6MjpI
