This might seem odd coming from a 5'3 118 lb girl but, I enjoy watching these raw style of bodybuilding leg days instead of the b.s. "glute days" alot of youtubers put out...So thank you for that!

[@crazyaboutgains157]

its not at all odd, dont worry about it. its actually very much welcome and we love to see more women enjoying and taking part in this type of training/sport

Leg day goals: get big enough legs that you can wear short shorts to the gym and no one bats an eye.

Just stumbled across this channel today. I was fortunate enough to take a class or two with Dr. Israetel In college, and and wouldn't you know it, he's in your videos. Subbed instantly, keep up the great content!

[@SzatStrength]

thanks for watching!!

[@overlord6815]

The concern about locking out your knees on the hack squat or leg press is valid, some people slightly hyperextend their knees when locked out fully which can result in insanely painful injury. We've all seen that video of that guy breaking both legs on the leg press.

[@wilsonram39]

Welp, add that to the list of things to never look up. Yikes that's terrible.

[@ryandilegge297]

My knees have slight recurvature, which is actually very common so I dont always lock my eyes out cuz it does hurt but on squats and all the heavy shit I always lockout, never any issues

Hey, I have a question about hack squats. I understand that they place less fatigue to the lower back so is pelvic rounding at the bottom something to worry about? I’m asking this as a 6’4” individual with a long limb to torso ratio.

Never seen it before. Told myself I'm so not watching it. Troll Szat makes me watch it anyways lol.

[@SzatStrength]

CRINGE

[@jaketribb43]

watch enough mma/kickboxing fights and you'll see awful things

[@aidancleary7019]

I hyper extended my elbow during a kickboxing fight. Guy threw an axe kick he was about 15kg heavier brought me down caught myself with one arm and it flex in and out really quick. The amount of force it would take to hyper extend your knee is going to take allot. Weak positions, leverage of where the pressure is placed a funny angle etc a hack squat keeps your legs perfectly under your body so your knees never lock out with shear force pushing them backwards or at a funny angle

[@Youthereogre]

Any tips on making hack squats not hurt the knees? Whenever I squat, leg extension, it’s fine. However hack squats just fuck me. Any tips?

[@THEIGORHUGE]

No joke squats here man

i notice you guys are locking out the knees on both hack and back squats. does that make it more effective of does it take away from the development. in essence id like to know which one is more effective?

next hit feature in cult movie: show audiences joint hyperextension.

[@bc7522]

Great video can we have one for chest back shoulders?

[@raulgamez8489]

I don’t lock out the knees not because it hurts (I don’t know anyone who has ever been hurt by doing so) but because it ads time under tension to the muscles 👌🏽 try both and see what fits you

[@bmstylee]

5:45. What's up with the arm and hand position? Seems like it would be uncomfortable. And it would prevent you from keeping tight.

[@vteam02]

I can't speak for Mike, but IIRC he said his upper back and shoulder muscles are so big, that he can't grip the bar normally

[@dimanaboytcheva7078]

@@nomongosinthaworld I know, right? I mean, they have the exact same shoulder and elbows and humerus length and everything. BS EXCUSE

[@nomongosinthaworld]

cdrtej well if he said his femur length makes a narrow grip uncomfortable I would look at it differently but it’s def not because his muscles are too big lmao

[@flyaroundyourfire]

[@ozgun6611]

Locking out is negative not in terms of knee health, but in terms of taking tension off of the quads. The general notion is to keep the tension on the worked muscles during the range of motion. That's all..

[@mati2912]

Why in this workout mike didnt put leg curls at first??? in the first video he said that is better put leg curl before because I does not compromises te rest of quads dominant lifts, so why he quit it?

[@VT5874]

I think he staggers them. If your doing curls to failure or zero reps in reserve you would use them later in the workout. But on a little curl day, he will fo them first. I could be wrong, but i think he was talking about it on his channel.

[@kanjiro]

[@fnizzledizzle]

Why do you drive your hips forward when coming up from squat?

[@pbjt2396]

When u come up from the squat you squeeze the glutes together which stimulates the buns to grow. Hope that helps!

[@fnizzledizzle]

@@pbjt2396 Lmao no

[@pbjt2396]

@@fnizzledizzle damn. Ok how about.. maybe the answer ur lookin for is that’s essentially taking the glutes thru a full range of motion?? 🤔 from the bottom of the squat to driving hips fwd at the top then squeeze em to get all the blood pumping in there?? Damn now I’m low key questioning my whole life now that u said it didn’t help 😅😅

[@fnizzledizzle]

@@pbjt2396 I already know the answer, I just don't know why Mike does it. Squeezing your glutes does NOT stimulaten growth.
