I don't get the hype around legs, at best when are you really squatting a car in you day to day life, and at worst who on earth is attracted to legs. Plus it takes up a third of your workout week for little reward, and unnecessary strain on joints leading to problems in your later years. Leg training is severely overhyped imo. Do a little just to keep yourself mobile, but an entire leg day is extreme overkill.

[@KenanTurkiye]

I don't know what's going on (but firstly let me detail my leg workout, sorry for boring anyone out there). Saturdays is my leg day, so one day a week. -First thing I do is stretch my calves, with the front of my feet stepping on the round tubes of the plate tree, I strecth my calves, followed by hamstring stretches, both standing and raising the feet high, and finalized by quad and glute stretches. -After all the stretching I go get a mat, fold it up and place it in front of a machine I use it's part to do copenhagens for my inner thigh endurance training, followed by nordic curls for hamstrings, just one set is enough, I'm a big guy so I do assist my self with my hands a bit while doing the nordic curls. -Next I move to the seated leg press, and do one sef, full stack with feet mid height and joined together in the middle of the plate to hit the outer quad sweep, like said one full on set. -Next is hamstrings, although there is a lying hamstring machine, I use the seated leg extension and do standing unilateral hamstring curls, I do 3 sets per side, I love getting a huge bow in my hams. -Again with the same leg extension machine this time I do leg extensions for the quads, with toes pointing in, again for the outer section, again one full out set with full stack, I get the burn I get off. -Next, I'm at the soleus machine, I do one set with neutral feet position, that is both feet parallel to each other. -Followed by a standing calve raise with toes pointing in, full stack full burn, one set. -Next I get to work the inner things on the abductor/adductor machine, I only do one set full stack on it for the inner thighs, because 2.5 times a week I do hip trusts with a very very heavy loop band around my knees, so while hip thrusting I open my knees apart against the resistance of the band, which give me plenty of outer thigh workout during the week prior to leg day saturday. -And to finish off the exercises I go get my self 33lbs kettlebell, sit down on a stool have the kettlebell gripped by my toes, feet extended and I curl my toes/feet up working the tibialis anterior, one set, to about 18-20 reps depending on how tired I may be, I got tibialis like half bowling pins to complement the huge calves. All followed by more stretching of the lower body and I'm out of the gym. Why is this giving me amazing leg growth ? my daily protein intake is merely 1gram per kg o lean body weight, not more, I don't even use creatine let alone anything else, why doesn't my rear delts grow so fast with so little effort? :)))

[@alexandercline1004]

Hi, Jeff! First of all, I love your content. You're already the best on KZbin yet you're constantly improving. We love it. I'm just wondering if you could clarify something for me regarding rep ranges? It seems to me that every fitness influencer/educator, yourself included, incorporates a variety of rep ranges into their routines. I understand it from a practicality standpoint (probably wouldn't make timely sense to take every set to 30 reps), but I still can't understand why nearly everyone workouts their calves, mid delts, etc. at higher rep ranges--closer to 15 reps--when the literature suggests that this wouldn't have any noticeable effect on muscle growth (for these muscles groups or any others). I haven't found a single video by anybody whereby they can reasonably/scientifically explain why they choose to go with higher reps when focusing on these muscles. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated! Again, a huge fan coming from Victoria, BC!

[@CraftyStones]

@alexandercline1004 well slow twitch dominant muscles such as side delts, forearm,neck etc don't respond well to low rep ranges. If you try to lift super heavy on exercise like lateral raises your form might loosen and other big muscle group like traps jump in to handle the weight reducing the amount of stimulus on target muscle. On exercise like lateral raises where progressive overload is very difficult high rep ranges make sense. Don't believe me try to hit 5 rep max on lateral raises

[@alexandercline1004]

This was an extremely helpful comment, I really appreciate it!@@CraftyStones

[@maxschmidt9461]

for those who don't like or are too strong for leg raises: try reverse squats, not ATG style, but with a full, deep stretch pulling you apart and crunching from both ends at the top, if you have acces a cable in your hands and on your feet is even better for the abs and cable crossbody chrunches are amazng to also hit the serratus

[@ingokolb6871]

Those nordic Ham-Curls hit your Hams like a train, especially with no counter weight with the eccentric

[@FitLabb]

@@Wetterwet Some decent options to use at home are Bulgarian Split Squats, different lunge variations (front lunge, rear lunge, or walking lunges), and Step-Ups can all be effective exercises to do at home to help target the quads. Another option is to build or buy a simple platform to stand on when doing squats that elevates your heels above the front of your feet by about a 15 degree angle, and do Squats or Goblet Squats in that heel elevated position. Hope that was helpful.

The seated calf raise almost only trains the musculus soleus because the musculus gastrocnemius attaches anove the knee and is not working when the knee is bent, or not nearly at full strength. Also the musculus gastrocnemius is best trained while the knee is extended and fun fact its the most powerful muscle in the body compared to its size.

[@rahulsingh27866]

Can someone please help me? I felt a zap (a long tweak) in my obliques from right to left about 2 years ago while I was doing a standing-over head press. I didn't feel anything when it happened-no redness, no swelling. Since then, I've been feeling pricky sensations in my right and left obliques. It feels like being poked with pins and needles, and many times there is a random dull cramping sensation in the obliques and also burning sensations. I consulted many physiotherapists and orthopaedic doctors, but nobody understood what was going on with me. They gave me physical therapy exercises, which did not help. I did a CT scan and an ultrasound sonography, but none of these tests found anything abnormal with my abdominal muscles. No muscle strains or myofascial strains were detected in these tests. I haven't been in the gym for two years because of this. I don't know what to do or where to go.

Great workout. Regarding the rectus femoris and the leg extension. As you said, the rectus femoris crosses the hip joint and the knee joint. As for the hip, it works as a hip flexor. When you do leg extension, you have to sit and when you sit, your hips are flexed. In this position, the rectus femoris is shortened and therefore can develop less force. So it doesnt make any sense that you said that you are doing the leg extension for the rectus femoris. Please elaborate.

Thx Jeff. I’ve learned so much from your channel, that I feel greedy about leaving you a request: I know your a body builder, so I wouldn’t know if your expertise extends to strength & conditioning. I train in the gym specifically for ice hockey. I’m always looking to educate myself about what is most efficient for informing the different aspects of on ice performance. Efficiency is key, because there’s only so much time a hockey athlete can spend off ice training per annum. And in my experience (and to my sad surprise) there is an over abundance of useless novelty training programs, marketed to hockey players in Canada. And these are not completely useless, but seem to offer quite a low efficiency factor, in most cases. Power lifting, Olympic style lifts, plyometrics. If you have any nuggets of wisdom in this area, it would be fantastic to see a video about it. Cheers and all the best.

"The Perfect...." is week 1 and the "The Ultimate..." is week 2 of this workout series. So you'd do the Perfect legs in week 1, the Ultimate legs in week 2, the Perfect Legs in week 3, repeat. As for the most effective idk what series that's from but each time he redoes the workout series he adds in the latest evidence, e.g. in this vid he went over the new findings regarding calf seated vs. standing. Other times they are differently focused i.e. strength vs hypertrophy, maximum gains vs maximum efficiency, etc.

lol, didn't expect Jeff to half rep that leg Press, I think Mike needs to cue him in on how to open up and get depth. at the beginning I couldn't get deeper, over a couple of sessions with either no or minimal weight I figured out how to get in position, let my knees clear my torso, now I get at leas 60% calf and hamstring coverage at the bottom and need 2 blocks and 4 mats to set up since the leg press at my gym doesn't go low enough. don't worry if at first you feel it more in your adductors, oncegettin' full depth is comfortable you'll figure out how to get mostly quads. PS: I think it's important this workout is for powerbuilding, at least in the demonstrated form, neither pure bodybuilding nor powerlifting. also at 50% of your conventional deadlift the SLDLs will be glute focused, there's no way your able to fully expose your hamstrings at that load(they'll still get hit but to really get that nasty eccentric into a painful stretch you need lighter weights or your nervous system won't allow you to expose your hams cause they would robably tear if put in a vulnerable, yet very stimulative position, with your lower bach bein' much less of a limiting factor due to the lighter weight.

Me watching this knowing very well I will never use any of the information in it (i never train legs)

[@juliajulia7572]

Thank you for your workouts! Is it ok to do Hip Thrusts on a Smith Machine?

[@chibbyylol]

Grab your kiwis, new jeff nippard vid dropped!

[@joseochoa8772]

Jeff make a science explain on trap bar deadlifts please‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@theultimategamer8322]

Imagine training legs and not doing sqauts

[@niczibelli9188]

The title is a little misleading because this is his leg day part 2 of the week. It's the sixth video of his series titled The Ultimate Push Pull Legs Routine (2023). It's supposed to complement the first leg day of the week where he does include squats.

Content request: A hybrid training program in which progressive overload is attained via some combination of both body weight(or calisthenics) and free weight training. I strongly appreciate your empirical approach to all your programs, but I am concerned with not doing enough body weight training in the programs you currently offer.

[@Dhanush799]

Bro said a perfect leg day and started with dead lifts ...ik glutes and hams but brrhh c'mon😂

[@harunskywalker4942]

Man you post the exact same videos every month. And your physique has maxed out!

[@sankalpverma618]

Bruv's perfect lower body workout doesn't have squats 💀.

[@codycale8598]

They do on the first leg day of the week. This is leg day 2, hip dominant day.

[@AntonioZL]

he does squats the first leg day, i believe.

[@nicholasdorn3035]

Love your videos. Would love to see your thoughts on the best exercises for people who can't load their spines due to common injuries.

[@RepentInReprise]

Jeff, one thing that strikes me about your knowledge, approach, and philosophy is that you remind me of Jim Cordova -- that guy was mesmerizing and inspiring with his knowledge of the field!

[@JosiasBernal]

I was about to ditch seated calf raises, but then I read carefully and see those juicy 1.5mm increases

[@Scaphism36]

“And if this is still too easy, go find another youtuber” well said

[@Dark0ne2099]

I purchased your latest workout and just completed legs #2 and wow. I don't think my legs ever felt so much like jell-o... 😂 Insane and I never got such a focused pump to my quads. Thank you! I'm on the second week and feeling small changes already.

[@Adam-xb2he]

Hello, can share with me through what’s up or email?

[@oliverkelson5719]

Had a dream last night that I met you bro, you were training legs too which is crazy considering you uploaded this video after I woke up!!

[@aethylwulfeiii6502]

Deja reve.

[@maciekturkiewicz4177]

Hi jeff can you do video about knee sleeves? What are their pros and cons?

[@eloisaguercoll1875]

Is a leg press really a better exercise choice than hack squat? Is a dead lift even a good choice? (aside from strength there are many better options that cause way less fatigue). Also I'd personally add a seated leg curl, more stretch than a lying leg curl and also has knee extension necessary for the short head of the biceps femoris

[@masaktor3614]

Hi Jeff, when will you publicize your new training program?

[@FinnH-12]

That not locking thing works so good idk why I’ve never trued

[@justmydog713]

For anyone who wants to do straight leg calf raises but doesn't have access to a standing calf raise machine, you can do them on the leg press machine.

[@nicknelly1]

Jeff is a time traveler. Doesn't look like he's aging at all over the years.

[@AmITheAHole00]

What would you recommend for forearms and what day should I do them?

[@abisheks2418]

Loved the jab at 6 pack shortcuts

[@mxlodyk]

Hi Jeff! Would you please do a video on the nuclei overload technique? There’s a lot of debate surrounding the topic and I’d love to hear your stance on it.
