That moment you realize you've been maintaining quad size this whole time. Fuuuck.

[@marcellowheeler88]

This, I'm so pissed at myself lol, I've had a 4 plate squat for over a year and each time I try it, it feels just as heavy and hard as the first time.

[@jjwp-ql5rv]

@@marcellowheeler88 You are supposed to progress. You are obviously just struggling with a heavy weight. There's no way you should have the exact same weight and rep range a year on.

[@Bunny11344]

I’m just doing too many different exercises now I’m terrified hearing 3 exercises at 6 sets 😭

[@gzaf83]

If u watch this series, there is absolutely zero need for a personal trainer, this is GOLD.

[@FairwayGolfFitness]

I agree that these videos are GOLD and that they take away a lot of the guess work when it comes to programming; but saying that they eliminate the need for personal trainers is excessive. Dr. Mike even says it himself that these are just guidelines and if you read his website he elaborates on the variance of MEV and MRV thresholds. If you have a (knowledgable) personal trainer they can design a program that is tailored to the individual and monitor progress to determine if modifications are necessary. Even the best personal trainers can benefit from having a coach.

[@gzaf83]

Jordan Baker-Blanc For the average consumer tryna get just a tad bit more muscle (with about 2 years of lifting), a personal trainer is...not required

[@FairwayGolfFitness]

+SAGE 67 I didn't say it was required. I said that they still serve a valuable function and can help optimize your training...

[@pacmann.]

Not if you have sloppy form!

[@6789uiop]

agree

At 4:36 Mike's mouth makes a 'pop' sound and I can't get over it lol

[@jamiejensen968]

Stoked i found this channel! Hear your name all of the time on Jeff Nippards channel and have meant to look you up

[@Brayden-c9o]

I've been training in the 5-8 rep range my whole gym career (almost 12 months). Can't wait to start training in the higher rep ranges this August. I took my squat to 285lbs @158lbs but my legs still look like hotdogs so hopefully some more volume will elicit some much needed growth. Thanks, Mike!

[@phantomcreamer]

How'd it go?

[@Django0324]

He died of a quadattack

[@StaleBearFarts]

Definitely quadattack. RIP brother.

[@TurboBandidsTranslator]

How u looking now?

[@jayseb]

This video and the complete playlist is a fantastic contribution to people, and honestly, for my training life. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and making it so accessible. If you don't get it here, you'll probably never will. Congrats.

[@JuggernautTrainingSystems]

Glad it was helpful!

[@azulsimmons1040]

Form also plays a huge part in squats not hitting the quads. I couldn't feel my quads because I was shifting the weight to my back and hamstrings as I came out of the hole. Finally I read an older post from Rippetoe specifically explaining the hamstrings are to stabilize the weight at a particular back angle and you need to make sure the knees track forward at the bottom and the bar rises in a straight line to prevent the good morning squat. Changed everything. My hamstring soreness after squatting went away and I started to feel it in my quads. Weight dropped a little though and I really have to focus on keeping pressure on the quads and a straight bar path, so I don't bend forward and good morning the squat.

[@someHandle95]

Azul Simmons Those technical improvements will also keep you safe ! Great job man.

[@ElreyRayo]

Rippetoe's purpose its strength gains with his (hip-drive) program, the straight back & chest up is mainly for quads, hence for bodybuilding

[@johntrains1317]

Glad to hear it. I want to catch this quote and post it for people who font understand rippetoes sweat curing.

[@lrgpapi]

Its an analogy not a parable.

[@randygentry1207]

This is good stuff...basicly a prillipin’s chart taylored to each muscle focused on growth more than strength...will be the next rosetta stone for programing

[@tammyb9966]

I love how you seem to absolutely love what you do! I just started watching your videos about 6 days ago and I was completely convinced to change my way of thinking with bodybuilding! I wasn't doing the once a week training but I was doing twice a week with way too many exercises and sets and reps and have been for the past 2.5 years.. this has taken a toll on my system. Anyways, I started 5 days ago with doing alot less and I'm super excited about lifting again, which I haven't been in a while! Don't know if this will work for me but it's not always about the destination, you have to enjoy the ride too! So thanks so much for the information and keep it coming because I'm listening!
