How To Squat For MAXIMUM GROWTH

Ready to get those legs growing?!
Here's a link to get notified when the course drops: ryanhumiston.com/course/
I wanted to highlight some of my favorite ways to crank up the intensity of any squat style movement. Instead of focusing on how much weight I can move, I've always focused on how can I get my legs to engage as much as possible during the squat and for me that's been a key to getting them to grow.
Let me know what video you want to see next.

When I was a fresh in college, I went into the gym and was going pretty heavy on squat. I was going low, pausing, and only gave myself minimal rest between sets. I did my entire workout like that. After the workout, I had the biggest dude at the gym come up and tell me "Good work blasting legs kid". Felt pretty good.

Keep in mind, the Five stars are based on my needs for this item kzbin.infoUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS When I first bought the bike I was going to return it immediately. After trying it out for several days/weeks I came to realize it is actually perfect for WHY I bought it.This is not a workout, the resistance is, eh, it makes a bit of noise, not loud, and it isn’t very stable even with the mat. The mat certainly keeps the bike from sliding but nothing keeps the mat from sliding (if that makes any sense, lol). Mine is place on my hard wood floor. Maybe it would be better with a rug underneath??I sit for long hours for work and wanted something to keep my legs moving. This bike does exactly that! For the price it is amazing, it is compact, easy to use, light weight, keeps track of time, calories etc (not sure how accurate it is) but good little product. I am happy with it.

[@joridouglas5934]

I've been practicing time under tension for years, this is a great tutorial and learned so much! Thank you Sir.

[@pnaylish1004]

I think these variations might be especially appropriate for us older lifters. Decades of training and looking to increase our max has worn many of us down. How to still get a training response while preventing any further accumulation of injury while putting the brakes on any further sarcopenia is a big deal for us. I would really appreciate hearing your thoughts on training for the 60+ age category.

Decided to finally pay attention to Ryan on this. If you're over 50 (like me) the 10 second -/+ movement at Step 3 is fantastic. I was doing 5x5 @ 285-315, with joint/back aches for several days after...but no longer. I went down to 105. You know what I noticed most? My knees and back were no longer sore, just the legs and glutes... as it should be. Score! Thanks for this, Ryan!

Ryan, I just started doing the squats. But I think this was by far the best video on how to seriously grow your leg muscles. Yes. The best thing to do is on your feet without wearing your shoes. Only then you can feel whether you are driving the force straight from your heels or your toes! You are spot on with that!

Exactly. These videos give me a different perspective on growth. Change your rep positioning and slow down for time under tension.

[@Ben-bj1oz]

Just remember ur muscles don’t know what weight ur lifting, they only know how much tension ur putting on it

[@mrsugar2352]

Anddd More weight more tension

[@HAL-dm1eh]

All things being the same, the only way you increase tension is to increase weight. This causes a reaction that increases strength (through a multitude of ways). But muscles also react to TIME under tension, and the metabolic reaction is pure hypertrophy, could be, but not necessarily at all, strength as well.

[@tensegritywill]

So true. I could never get my lats to fire until I consciously squeezed them while rowing light weight. You decide the tension levels. Many people don't get this concept.

This is the best squat tutorial i've ever seen, and doing it like this has changed my squat game forever. Due to back pain i've kinda struggled with squats lately, but doing it like this has made it so much better. It's like the constant tension keeps the muscles around my spine tight and protects it from hurting.

[@775758]

I had knee surgery in October 2020 and I literally went one year (Horrible) making excuses why I can't do legs. I was simply scared of re-injuring my knee.

Awesome Ryan,after years of long distance running I am struggling to get the fast twitch fibres in my legs firing with loading the bar too heavy and losing form.now dropping the weight and doing 10 seconds negative and not locking out feeling the burn from set one ,great stuff.

[@ftrkngfspn]

Tip #1 - 1:56 (Rep Out the Bottom Positions ONLY/DO NOT LOCK AT TOP POSITION) Tip #2 - 2:41 (Hold Bottom Position for 3 seconds) Tip #3 - 3:37 (Increase Time Under Tension)

After trying this method for the first time, I ended up waking up in the emergency room with tree trunks for legs, 10/10 would recommend.

[@fareedrahman9261]

[@DrSwole]

2:32 I think the 3/4 rep tip is debatable. You're giving up some of your hip extension ROM and could always make up for the "constant tension" by doing more reps

[@MB-uj7hp]

Ask Dr. Swole ... good point. Ryan what’s your take on this?

[@mrcommonsense9145]

Another way to get both is how we would squat in rugby in warm up sets and the phase of working up to the higher % sets we would do double dips. Not sure what the official name is, but you go all the way down, pause long enough to kill momentum come up half way stop to kill momentum back down then full rep. So each rep is like a half then a full and thats one. Can do this on any movement pretty much. Got us warm and ready for the working sets.

[@Officernoob]

I think the point Ryan was making was that people will lock out and when they go down for the squat again they aren't firing the correct muscles because their mind forgot where and when to place the tension. The use of the 3/4 is to get people locked into the proper squat form by using their muscles to keep the bar balanced over midfoot rather than going all the way to lock out, disengaging the muscles, and then having to find the balance point again. That being said, Ill be doing my squats with full ROM and I would definitely agree with you, Dr. Swole.

@@JoeyCentral Derek Ng is a very top powerlifter who looks very skinny to be that, squatting 375. Of course you can build muscle while strength training, but it doesnt cause as much hypertrophy (growth) due to less metabolic stress, less time under tension because of lower volume etc. Powerlifting training for things like bench you reduce R.O.M to increase weight, as Ryan Humiston explains here: lower the weight and increase ROM which will stress more muscle fibers and increase hypertrophy.
