John, if people have back problems they should be using the seated leg curl machine not the lying leg curl machine.Lying leg curl machines are more harmful on the back than squats or deadlifts.

[@martinbradley1062]

@@dennis85573 ive had a messed up lower back for about 2 years and it doesnt bother my back at all if anything my back feels better after doing them cause it helps me stretch out my back, if it hurts someones back then surely its cause they are ego lifting on it, if anything the seated one is the one that irritates my lower back and when laying doing them there is no strain on my back ist all in my legs and glutes

This was one where I was genuinely sad. Most of the time you feel something for these deaths but this one hit me a bit different. I feel for his wife and his kids. Really sucks. I know what it’s like to grow up without a dad and so did John and it was his greatest fear. And it happened. It actually made me reflect on my own “bodybuilding choices” and really consider what I put in my body because my greatest fear is also leaving my little boy without his dad and best friend.

1)warm up with leg extensions : sets of 6 reps, ramp up weight by one plate after every 6 reps till you can't get 6 anymore 2)leg extensions : pick up from where you left off in (1), shoot for 25 reps, rest pause, style, get outta the machine during breaks 3)back supported leg press movement : pick a weight that you can do 10-12 reps with and shoot for 25 reps, rest pause style, don't get outta the machine during breaks, lockout and rest 4)3 sets of lunges for about 25 yards 5)leg curls : 2*10 Third set : 10 reps, 10 partials from bottom, 15-20 second iso hold

Fantastic! Due to wear and tear, overuse, demanding physical jobs, etc. not everyone should do squats every leg workout. Always glad to hear this addressed!

With a job that requires carrying heavy loads for miles, endurance, stability and agility, too much squatting is not ideal for me. Thank you for posting this!

[@philleyland1847]

I think this is a great piece of advice for a small % of people, yes there are people that have issues/injuries that make it difficult if not dangerous for them to squat, but there are many who use them as excuses. I'm 60 and have always enjoyed squatting. A couple of years ago I gave up squatting because I was advised to by a trainer because I had back, knee and shoulder issues. After about 6 months my legs looked no different, but my mobility and functional strength dropped like a stone. I reintroduced squatting, used less weight, increased the reps and went deep, I've had no problems since. Squatting is so much more than a leg exercise that I think if I can't do anything else I will continue to squat.

[@leecourtney1225]

Not only was this man crazy knowledgeable but so humble. When he said I made a mistake with the 2 sets really scuppering the essential recovery, it is in stark contrast to the gym bros who say 'I trained my legs so hard on Monday I couldn't squat down to take a shit, also I trained chest so hard on sunday i wouldn't have been able to wipe my arse anyway and it rocks man'. As I have got older learned exactly what John knew, train hard sure but know when to back off. Was carrying a niggling injury in my lower back and another wise coach said take time off training anything involving lower back in fact take a week off period and do some sensible mobility. Better to take a week of voluntarily than being forced to take 6 months

I had to cut down my overall calorie intake but I kept my protein intake high, close to 1gram of protein per (lean) pound of body weight. For protein supplements I used 50% Whey and 50% Egg White powder, it's what Frank Zane used (perhaps still uses)! The whey is quick release and the egg white is slow release. If you're wanting to gain muscle you have to eat a calorific surplus most days. You will gain some fat but if you do it cleanly hopefully not too much. It really is 60% diet and 40% training.

Tried this yesterday. Decided to save the lunges until the end. After Extensions, leg press and curls - I could BARELY walk!! This is now my go to leg day routine for a long time.

John, great workout. I've been having growth success with pointing my toes on leg curls to build the lower hamstrings. Totally different feel and growth in a weaker part of my legs that I needed for side poses. Growth protocol has been 4 sets 20, 15,15,12. Tempo 2:1:3. 5th set is a triple drop 10,10,10. Holy smokes the pump is unreal.

Sometimes, I imagine DY's trainer yelling at me to get 1 more rep.
