HOW TO STRUCTURE A LEG WORKOUT | MIKE VAN WYCK

[@VeronicaWang]

The internet needs more Wycked

[@luks386]

Hey why did you stop uploading any more videos?

[@calikid0926]

In another video you wanted to squeeze with a roll inward. Now it's opposite. What's the difference?

[@EDdelissaint]

Agreed!

[@robk5575]

The wealth of information that you're able to impart moment to moment, throughout all your videos is staggering. There is a wisdom in how you communicate that I've rarely seen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Mike.

[@leo300051]

His advice is like finding treasure

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Lol thanks

[@LiberalTears6969]

This guy no shit has the best videos on the internet

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Appreciate that Nicolas

[@douglasachaiba7885]

So many gems dropped here. My goodness....... You could do a talk on each body part and correct mechanics. Like chest 101 wycked style and so on. Thank you Mike for keeping it real. I could listen to you all day

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Appreciate the ideas and the kind words

[@40phenom]

Best channel on youtube....Mike are you selling merchandise. I would love to get a few shirts. I have been send my buddies your KZbin clips and they are loving it!

[@WYCKEDTRAINING]

Appreciate it! Plan on dropping apparel once a month, super limited and only dropping once

[@travishyman9758]

Mike, I really do change the positioning of my body when I'm working out. And the results are better especially with high volume days. I appreciate all these little tips. ✊🏽

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Appreciate u trying my ideas.

[@animeconnoisseur2904]

I appreciate that Mike is giving out all these information for free

[@gporr7004]

When you say about not being so tiff in the muscle and worrying about being tight and contracting, you’re spot on. I started getting into that nonsense a couple years ago listening to idiots talking about perfect form and staying tight. But when I was younger I trained more like the way you do now and got better gains. Glad to hear you say it

[@Bsmooth9588]

Thanks for this content, it has drastically improved my mind muscle connection after training for 15 years like an idiot swinging weight this is so much more satisfying

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Happy to hear that

[@ALLBLACKEVERYTHING12]

I dont even get tired working out using this guy's methods... i just take a break to go wow... I've never actually worked out in my life... I actually feel what tf I'm working!!!

[@mooveacademy]

I’ve been studying your videos and man… I never felt so sore after my chest workout. Can’t wait to learn more from you and truly grateful for your sharings! 🙌🏼

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Happy to hear what I’m doing is helping

[@myqrics]

You advise on the leg curls and leg extension is incredible followed this advice today on legs and has help me so much I have no ham or knee pain I wish I had this advice years ago

[@mmcnamara35able]

With all the technical craziness in bodybuilding now, this study that study. You need to train like this and hit PRs everyday. Mike is the calm in all of it. Thank you for being the voice of reason and just a really cool fucking guy!!!! 🙌

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

KISS FORMULA : KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID. LIFE MOTTO

[@nogosek97]

Here for algorithm bump, and to say again we require more merch to support the channel and spread the word

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Merch drops will be limited. Another one is coming soon

[@jonthepitschweit]

Wvwr since i started watching your videos a few weeka ago you have helped me gain so much muscle. I was too stiff and rigid and trying to lock down thinga now i have no mobility during posing and daily life. But how ever since im starting to rock on muscle my development is sky rocketing

[@supragame1991]

Always good to watch your videos. Even watched some old ones and got a laugh from some of them because your genuine frustration with some lifters is understandable and shared.

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

It drives me nuts. Lol. It’s the same mistakes over and over. All for the end goal of more weight lol

[@supragame1991]

@@Noughtnowknoteva I mean you can't blame them. You have Ronnie Coleman himself, Arash Rabar, Matt Kroc(his old articles are still the holy grail for some bodybuilders, the late Phil Hernon, Brian Dobson who was Ronnie Coleman's trainer, every natural bodybuilding guru or coach, and practically the most jacked person on every message board with pics who all say squeezing and feeling muscles overcomplicates things and is not for those who haven't mastered control with heavy weights. I do think you're right but to advise people who have been hit with their words and videos and possibly the same thing in real life to actually go against what they've been bombarded with.....is a pretty damn tall order bro lol. How do I know? Because I used to be one of those guys lol. Til I realized execution is king before load is. That moving weight even with proper form like Phil Heath or Dorian teaches may not be enough.

[@toddohmes8720]

Big Mike is so Raw! Love it, he makes so much sense…wish he was in Louisiana!

[@denverthomas9867]

I just started working out in earnest 3 months ago, basically for the first time in my life. I started liking some fitness stuff on Insta, and Mike got recommended to me, and I feel like I've been given this gift, to have just dived deep, deep down, through all the bullshit & misinformation that is the world of fitness social media, straight to this amazing source of truth and knowledge. I'm of course no authority on weightlifting whasoever, but I do know that when I do Mike's movements, it feels so organic, and intuitive, and they've all felt like my best workouts so far (and I've been going down on a lot of my weights to do them right! Lol)

[@MrAcmove]

Warm up is So effing underrated!! You are 100% right. It’s VERY easy to mess ourselves up by jumping in cold! Thank You for emphasizing the importance of getting blood in there FIRST!!!!

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

The workout is a journey the destination is maximum pump and work of the targeted muscle. Don’t be in a rush to get there

[@user-ei8ri6hx1q]

Awesome as always! Love the shirt.

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Thanks

[@rogerforde6065]

You are an artist Mike. Thank you for all the masterpieces

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Thanks roger

[@elciochabla6787]

Great timing Mike. Leg day for me tomorrow will definitely use some of these queues. 👍Thank you.

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Let me know how it goes

[@dalewilson9602]

Mike is a "real guru" him and Charles glass are the only trainers that have common sense and know what works...

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Big compliment. Thanks

[@GODS4Brothers]

The thing about every movement Wyck explains is that I can do it and find tension in the muscles without weight. Best explanations I’ve ever heard.🙌🏾

[@GXDee]

Before I start watching your video uncle Mike, I always click the LIKE button first 😁 A fan from Germany

[@markwilburn4962]

Just in time for legs tomorrow! Looking forward to putting some of this to work for me and see how much more I can get out of my workout! Thanks Mike, keep the info coming!

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Have fun mark

[@MrsBosco92]

Best explanations I could found, best instructor

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Thanks

[@rotapp7268]

So much insight and so easy to absorb, this knowledge is what makes the difference. Big thanks.

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@dreamrider2956]

I know this video is rather old, but I've adopted a LOT of Mike's style and this is ALWAYS a learning process to keep the understanding of this style's movement in tact. I'm amazed how much better I feel and i do catch myself going back to what I used to do when it gets tough.. Actually, I'm spending the entire month at each gym session 5/6 days a week, dedicated to this styles motions.. Love this shit.. Thanks Mike.

[@danieltopalian89]

Your work outs are so smooth and effective. Thank you for the knowledge. 🤙🏽

[@lorenzociceri]

Great great great . THANK YOU

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Perfect

Mike I appreciate you. You have been opening my eyes and lats! You’ve really coached me up in regard to posterior chain training. My hams and ass are blowing up. Roll into that shit boys!

Here again. Have watched all ur vids. Now. Aye man. Stop giving this free at this point . Lol. U JUS MADE ME A REAL BODYBUILDER. online lol. U brought literally every thing wrong I do on every last lift man. In the last month. My physique has had so many changes. I'm almost show ready now. People come up to me constantly now and say I should do shows or that I look amazing. UR MY COACH. Even tho u don't know it . Preciate u a million . Wish u all the best for you and yours 💪

[@nikolidus]

This guy is a hidden gem

[@TheFallbrook]

talk about RDL's next please

[@carmelquarney157]

Cool was waiting for legs... so informative...

[@Shreadington]

Legs today Mike! I point my toes on those curl exercises. That really helped bring out my hams. I'll incorporate the lean with those now. Great tip! After 28yrs of training everything you say makes complete sense. If I only knew then what I know now...

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@Shreadington]

@@Noughtnowknoteva I definitely liked the lean for extensions. Quads were fired up after that. My favorite for hamstrings is stiff leg deadlift with the ball of my feet on a 1/2" inch piece of wood or 5lb plate to engage the stretch earlier. 3-4 second negatives with a squeeze at the top just before standing as not to joint stack. Any tips on stiff leg deadlift would be great! I haven't searched your video library for deadlifts.

[@sandeepp6834]

That leg press grunt is so relatable.

[@josephgallacher6477]

Hi Mike. Always like watching your videos. Very knowledgeable and always yous when I train.

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Appreciate the support Joseph

[@jjohns17]

So many useful details in this video! I've migrated towards the seated hamstring curl recently (as opposed to lying) and this makes me wonder if a similar neutral rocking applies, or is there a different approach to the seated movement? I'm definitely revisiting the lying hamstring curl after seeing your demo here. Thanks again Mike! I always find something helpful in your videos!

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Look on hD Muslce’s KZbin page. All the leg training vids there have me training ppl on seated ham curl

[@jjohns17]

@@Noughtnowknoteva On it! Also, I tried the technique you showed on the lying hamstring curl and I got a way better feel for the exercise. Going to keep with it and see where it takes me. Thanks again for all of your help!

[@rosariodimaio927]

Mike is the Bible of meccanic I agree a 💯% no body explains dinamics as he does and yet with all the expection for some dudes that are genetically gifted which are fewer, for the most part we can make changes and become a better version of ourselves. Thank you WIKING Mike!

Yes I agree I hate when somebody comes and stands behind me waiting for the station I just start using Some times I use a station for more time and do multiple exercises on it and just takes my consent ration away I don’t do it to others unless somebody is just texting on it I’ll ask

[@brianhedge2344]

I love it, “ this one legged thing…” 🤣💯💪🏽

[@rickjreyes]

Mike always fighting with someone on social media 😆

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Meeee?????? Nooooooo😈

[@dosswole]

Haha love the inception analogy!

[@KB-ku1dg]

It's so crazy to me, i don't remember where, but i saw someone say that if your butt is lifted off the seat on the leg press you're doing it wrong and blah blah blah. Like literally the opposite of what you were doing. No wonder i probably have a hard time with it, it's not natural. Gonna use this info for my next leg day. I took notes for back day and woah, what a difference. Thank you Sir

[@mikefreeman6799]

I always did it with feet much higher, and never locked out my knees, made go deep enough to feel the stretch and keep the tension due to bend knee at the top of the movement, but this way is also pretty interesting. Will give it a go my next keg session

[@morganmacbodybuilding2914]

Great info. Thanks Mike.

[@LoyaL6x10]

Great leg press info! 💪🏽 🦵🏽👍🏽✊🏽

[@adminicredabase3731]

Great instructions as always. Thanks Big Mike

[@ashleystrong2104]

I was always told that your hips need to stay firmly locked on the leg press or it’s bad form. I am going to try these tips! Thank you!

[@mikehammer2408]

Off the subject but would you do a video of & about all of your ink? Looks great.. 💪

[@Bravo.2]

You speak my mind off language brother! I’m 35 and Was trying to explain this to this 18 year old who asked me about back exercises

[@eliotcownden7395]

Once again great content. I have learn't a lot .Thanks again

[@anko9777]

Mike, thanx for the back workout structure video. I tried some tips and loved them. The legs ones are on their way too))) Could you please talk about your ideas on volume issue? How one should assess and change his own volume per muscle group per training day and week?

[@supergesh5754]

Thanks for the tips !

[@jasonellis9777]

It’s funny because the gym dogma always says don’t let your ass come off the seat in leg press but when you do it is a way more natural and fluid motion. Great demonstration of that at work.

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

The goal is to keep the weigh in the feet. The body moves to accommodate the weight and stay on muscle. Not joint

[@jonathanruttan2179]

Always stay keep an open mind.

[@billyclarke4147]

Works perfect doing hamstrings like this. Cheers.

[@Jajache]

I know this question is not related to what you trying to explain but since this gym has literally every leg press machines in the market! (Atleast the good ones) , I being a gym owner wanted to ask you which one do you prefer the most? Thank you 🙏

[@johnrederick1742]

Good explanation

I'd like to see Mike Israetel and this guy have a conversation about their training philosophies.

[@MrClandestine369]

“I was arguing with this kid on Tik tok” that had me lol

[@anzonioflores]

On the leg press I was always thought to keep your but on the pad and don't let it lift and hold tight and pull down using the handles... But now thanks to this video I should do better and less pain for my lower back... thanks bro But

[@Noughtnowknoteva]

Amazing. Yes focus on all the weight being in your feet. Tall upper body
