Hamstrings & Glutes | My New Training Split (Day 5/6)

I'm starting off 2022 with a new training split and a new KZbin series. In these videos I will show you how I train, what exercises I use, along with how to properly execute each exercise in order to build muscle and get the very most out of your training sessions.

Let’s appreciate Mike being so funny throughout his videos. While extremely educating us.

[@Darkest_of_Winter]

Totally needed this today ahead of my session tomorrow. The Bulgarian Split Squats are the most challenging for me.

[@ln956]

9:18 the way women look at this man really shows how mike is the ultimate alpha male

[@notsonaturallyjacked3860]

Great tips on the RDLS at the start, one of the only exercises that took me weeks to get the proper hang of...brilliant exercise once you do though. Anyone struggling with it just stick at it, it'll come in time, most importantly start light until you master it or you could screw your back up.

[@podbeetle]

Loving the humour in this vid, but no doubt that was an absolutely savage workout. Sometimes the comedy helps get you through a session like that!

[@didntkn0w478]

"Put my lifting goggles back on" Had me exhaling through my nose The "yippp" that followed had straight up laughing 😆

[@LengeKotze]

Thanks for being my motivation and gym scene I create in my home working out during the Shanghai Lock down! Your quirky humour brings a smile too!

[@nikolamijailovic599]

On hip thrusts I usually lift my toes and just keep my heels on the floor, that way there is more focus on gluteus

[@fitta74]

I've done the RDL wrong for years,thanks Mike for teaching me on the RDL.

[@Zachhaze]

I couldn’t believe it either.

[@Alex-po7oq]

That tip of focussing on pushing your hips back to get all the tension in the hamstrings is a game changer for me.. was always sort of leaning forwards first and then sending the hips back a bit

[@mickiasmussie2062]

So easy to see the mans living in his purpose. Madd respect and many thanks !

[@mangamuscle98]

Been watching your videos for some time and have now subscribed. I am a brit living in Thailand and enjoy your instruction on how to get the best from exercises. Thanks Mike.

[@ginos5119]

Absolutely agree bro. Its worth to move up in weight gradually! Injuries are the worst.

[@ARG23supreme]

18:36 That's an amazing machine, looks like it targets the glutes exactly where it needs to

[@jonathanpena5953]

He cracks me up every time. Thanks for the great content.

[@jesseauwerda732]

I think you are missing a lot of good exercises. Like the good morning, glute ham raise, back extension, reversed hyperextension and nordic curl. You could even put the kettelbell swing and cleans for a more dynamic exercises.

[@zinebsaad7171]

Beautiful physic !! Enjoy watching these videos Thank you

[@fabianbollig4390]

Great video as always Mike! I've also been including hip thrusts in my leg routine, what really helped me (someone else pointed that out to me) was, that I always had the bar rolled up too high towards my stomach (because of the mentioned nut protection haha). I've been rolling the bar down for a while now (towards the quads, keeping it in that position) and noticed a huge increase in comfort and weight. Not sure if you've already been doing this, really helped me. Now it's one of my favorite leg exercises.

[@alexwelch1520]

Love the workout videos series. Different vibe from the usual videos

[@ruurdah]

Thank you heaps for sharing all the knowledge. It helps me greatly. I do have a question, may I? It's about nutrition. What is better for the body (/metabolism): A) cut calories by for example 500. No exercise B) Cut calories by 250 and by exercise burn another 250. (I know B helps (/can help) burn extra calories after the work-out.) Which of the two is the best to keep your metabolism as high as possible (to burn as much as possible)? Thank you in advance!

[@kial185]

The glute pump was real Thruston. Collab with Bret Contreras would be sick

[@Myguiltyleisure]

Well Mike you never disappoint. Thanks!

[@brandonmelbourne7313]

Thanks for the help ‘Mike the Thrust Thurston’

[@jamesowens-darkcurvstudios]

If you want to get more stretch on the lying leg curl, rest on your elbows rather than having your chest flat to the bench. It also helps isolate the hamstring more

[@andrewstone2896]

Making notes here, I suck at deadlifting, yet crucial for form and growth…

[@jordanbolch]

Thanks for sharing another great video, Mike! Have you ever worked hamstrings on a Nordic bench?

[@a1ex_405]

Mike ‘Always leave them speechless’ Thurston

[@fifis101]

A good prompt for RDL's is to think you're going to sit back in a chair. Another tip I found is that I used to get crazy lower back pumps while using a belt. Once I stopped using the belt they went away.

[@kabbythedog9409]

Did your back and bicep circuit 😍it’s my new fav will be trying more of yours 👍👍

[@edwardnygma5549]

Mike can you do a video on how to build lower back ?

[@thewildlife2023]

Mike also training on neck muscles and traps would be more outstanding!

[@jonclaudedamvan7561]

Thanks Uncle Mike!

[@claudiamarianidamato9499]

I don’t understand why people go so heavy on the RDL ? Your form is off . You will probably not even read this but, If you would like to go heavy on such a movement pattern then you should do a stiff legged deadlift, which is identical to the RDL but the only difference is the weight touches the ground. Your RDL looked wrong when you increased the weight, it looked like a hybrid between RDL and SDL and CDL. There is no need to go so deep, a little passed the knee is sufficient, and I recommend people not widening their stance so much with this movement . Keep it shoulderwidth/narrow . What makes the conventional DL different from both of these movements is the placement of the arms in relation to the knee and the slighter bend in knee. The CDL requires grip just outside of knee while RDL and SDL grip is IN FRONT of the knee. I recommend people to search Alan Thrall who is the only person who explains this fact.

[@renopereira1434]

Agreed great hams/glutes stretch 💪🏽😎

[@MarioDuch]

Mike, when doing those Bulgarian split squads, doesn't the top of your foot hurt after you have them positioned like that on the bench? It hurt my foot tremendously, and I figured out that having my feet touching the bench with only the toes does reduce the pain, but I wanted to ask you if you have any other recommendations since it still isn't painless for me

[@alonewarrior4202]

Thanks Mike☝️👍👌

Just watched the whole series and I had to say that it's quite telling what people do in the gym when you look at the views on videos that talk about arm workouts vs ones with leg workouts lol everybody out here skipping leg day

[@GerryNaughton]

How many cigars a day do you recommend I add to my diet?

[@Cityzen567]

15-20 to get the most anabolic effects.

[@federer4ever35]

Thanks Stringer

[@iirolenkkari9564]

Some people like to train lying leg curls so that a training partner pushes down from the lower back/glutes. Do you think you're sometimes missing something when training by yourself?

[@danielbarath2649]

Can anyone know the music in the backgorund at 6:20 with the insane bass?

Hey Mike, would like to kindly ask; why do you do RDLs first and then split squats?

[@brandonbaldwin6364]

On the hamstring curl would you ever recommend pointing the feet foward instead of up?

Thanks for sharing the tips on form! Just realized how I did the RDL wrong Love your content!!!

Is it better to separate leg day in to 2 different days quads and calves day and hamstrings day My height is 190 cm and I have difficulty to gain muscle while losing fat ! I am natural lifter

[@rohan4872]

Mike, greatly appreciate your guidance as always. Do you hit your Bulgarian split squats with 4x 12 reps with progressive overloading with each set or rather higher/lower reps?

Hey mike ,what kinds of app of workout u using?

[@Jay-gs7sp]

I never go to the gym with trainers on. Always got socks on lol

What's an alternative to that last machine? No gyms in my area have that haha. Only thing similar is the hip adductor machine that just goes horizontal not up and out... is that still OK?

[@chukwudicharles7916]

Do you ever getting really bad cramps in your hamstrings during workouts?
