mountaindog1 great content as always. Are Granite supplement orders still shipping as usual?

[@christinaperry5281]

I’m halfway through this workout (subbed the glute bridges for single leg dumbbell hip thrusts, hope that’s ok I have trouble feeling my glutes with the bridges) and I am seriously considering trading my soul to the devil for the ability to skip leg day... 😂

Hey John, just a small tip, you can now put "chapters" in your description so people can easily navigate around the video to different parts of the workout. It's basically a list of timestamp and then some text for the titles in the video description (google for more details). But I think it would be great for your vids like this!

5:15 happy to see banded good-mornings in there, this is an exercise that everyone should be doing, gym or no gym

[@jurekweis9169]

To be honest, I didn't even know them. But I will try them on hamstring day for sure!

[@MatiDota]

I Will try them. Yesterday i did one leg rdl and rdl with bottles of water

[@a.k2156]

Thats some Brian Alsruhe wisdom right there!

[@Zeusbeer]

I know right! I love them, I would normally do good mornings with a pretty much empty barbell, but the bands give a simular response now that I don't have a gym. I might actually make some gains for my deadlift without a gym lol, 3x20 is kinda awfull still

[@codyboudreau2838]

You're doing a good service teaching this. Especially having such a relaxed demeanor is probably setting people's minds a ease.

[@JJvolkman21]

Couple things John: 1. Thank you for providing these at-home videos for all us. It’s nice to have a distraction. 2. WHERE DO I GET THAT AMAZING SHIRT!? 3. I came for the training, stayed for that young wizard’s yo-yo tricks!

[@mountaindog1]

i get them from facebook ads, flexcomics.com, superherostuff.com, and amazon

I've learned so much from John I had no idea he passed untill recently So broken hearted for Mary and the kids I still watch his videos & again I learned alot Truly sad & sickened He definitely is a man I respect 🙏 💔 So sorry for his family. Thank you for passing effective knowledge 😔

[@djcoolrule]

I truly appreciate all the workouts you've provided for us. These at home workouts are huge for many of us that don't have weight equipment at home. Praying that some type of vaccine is created so we can get back to some type of normalcy. God bless you and tell your son keep up those yoyo skills and good luck in future Rubix cube competitions.

God bless you, John! I had just started scoping out my home gym build when COVID-19 hit, and the only bigger run than TP was 45s... I saw your video and immediately ordered your band package from EliteFTS. Thanks for all that you do, and I pray you and your family are doing well 🙏

[@mountaindog1]

thank you!

[@sumkin5]

Thanks John, another one for hamstrings. Tie a band around lower end of a table or column, lie on the stomach, fasten the band around your ankles and do your usual "Lying Leg Curls". Start with a heavy band, go to lighter ones. Unilateral training is also nice.

[@kriegerstan2476]

I'd like to thank you for these videos on the band work outs and especially your videos on nutrition, which was something I never really concentrated on. You deserve every bit of that ad revenue keep it up!

[@mountaindog1]

welcome

[@msmith1845]

Hamstring Curls: if you have a doorway chin up bar or something high to loop a long band through, you can hook the other end of the band around your heel, lay down on your back and do hamstring curls, starting leg high and bringing the foot to the floor. Do a drop set with multiple bands, partials or forced reps with the free non working leg to assist. Leg extensions working the stretched position: Anchor a band overhead like with ham curls above. For quads you can sit on your shins on a cushion, lean back like an exaggerated sissy squat and stretch, try to push your feet through the floor (imagine doing a leg extension) to move upright. Keep your shoulders in line with your hips. Use a band to assist you or do drop sets with them. Do these last when your warmed up and already done the Bulgarian split squats. Supersetting these "kneeling thigh stretchers" into explosive bodyweight jump squats works well. Stay strong every one. Thank you, John.

[@aaroni5074]

These are some of the best home/band workout videos out there. I only have a set of bands and a 35lb dumbbell, legs have been the hardest to workout due to my lack of imagination and difficulty finding good material, but this looks like a great workout that will properly hit your legs. I'd also like to comment that when I started seeing real gains on my legs was after reading the article "Legs the mountain dog way" on t-nation.

[@wilsonvega5507]

Thanks for the vidoes john love how u come up with these banded exceries for us at this bad time thats happening in our world

John Meadows NEVER fails to impress !!! absolute legend...always providing the answers :D

[@deutschmitmichael4399]

Currently working my calves every 48 hours. a) rest-pause single leg calf raises (1set +4x mini-sets per leg) b) your insane iso-hold monster-set. ;) I count 6 breaths (10-11 sec) for each squeeze after 10 full reps. I started with barely 30 reps and could hardly get outta bed for two days, then the pain disappeared and two weeks later I could finish 52. Getting close to your 60! Amazing work, thanks for the ideas. My calves have actually started growing already and I I thought I have really bad genetics for them. :)

[@sidneyvisser6286]

Great stuff John! Thank you for basically getting us on our feet and get these trainings in - no matter what is going on in the world!

[@T1meTr4veler]

Over time I've been watch your videos I realise how much I hate you. For the simple fact whenever I see you do this I also follow it. It shows how simple things look yet how hard they actually are when performing them. There is no weights, no dumbbells, squat racks or leg presses. Just a band. How effective it still is. You're one of the most genuine, dedicated people I've seen. Very knowledgeable and interesting. It's a pleasure to witness you. Thank you for posting this content for us to see, enjoy and follow. Hope you and your family are well. Keep up this work. Stay safe. God bless.

Bought the band pack, love the band push/pull/let workouts. After running thus workout A couple times I subbed the band step up for a band squat. I did the banded good morning as I just have 1 short pro mini band. Lower back was in fire. I also found adding an iso hold to the terminal knee extension exercise helped for added intensity to the quads.

[@mountaindog1]

yes!!!!

[@jeremyparish9227]

This video series is great John. I've been trying to extend my inventory of exercises now that I don't have a barbell. This has been extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@Ramsefall]

Thanks for providing some insight for additional at-home leg exercises, John, much appreciated. I especially found the 1-leg stair quad step up useful. Great that you include your family. You and your bride have great physiques, and your son has a talent with that yo-yo...continue to encourage him! As a 50-year-old who's been lifting for 31 years, exiling myself from the gym during this pandemic has not been fun, but I'm making due with the use of bands. I can tell that I'm losing some muscle mass as I've only been training each muscle group once/week with bands just as I've always done with weights. I'm thinking that in the absence of actual weights I would benefit from increasing the volume with more reps and double the frequency each week in order to regain the mass I've lost. I've begun that approach this week. What are your thoughts on this strategy, sir? Gyms are open again but I'm hesitant to get back in there and breathe everyone's workout air so I'm sticking with home training for the time being. Not wanting something for nothing, I found that doing 1-leg calf raises gets a better burn in less reps versus raises on both simultaneously. Other viewers who haven't tried that yet might also find it useful. Keep up the great work and stay healthy!

[@coreywatson742]

So sorry to hear about John's passing. I'll knock this workout out today in memoriam.

[@Thetinyfit]

Finally someone does banded good mornings! Also used a backpack with from bricks on my front (backwards) and my hams were upset for a couple days!

[@TheStalker965]

I highly recommend doing walking lunges. Vary the strides between long & short. Short strides are more quad dominant, the long strides are great for glute/hams.High reps will burn! Very good exercise.

Thanks for sharing this John. I got some ideas from you that I will add to my leg routind.

[@Dr_Dude]

Awesome video as always! for the calvs, I do load a back pack with stuff (a heavy old laptop, cloths, protein powder bottle, whatever does the trick) and do as many as I can. For the ones who don't have bands, till now, I used a 5.5 gallon water bottle (filled) and used a belt to wrap it around my legs and do the leg extension on the coffee table chair :D. Had to do a lot of reps though, bigger guys may be able to do it with one leg per bottle. EDIT: just now i figured I could do leg-curls too if i tied them behind my legs... dang i am getting creative here :P I used the same back pack for the hip thrusts (needed a bit more weight) and when using one leg, I extend the other leg to create more leverage on the hip.

[@mcb0b1]

I just got done doing my legs at home before watching this. I was worried about how my legs were gonna go, but actually got a pretty good workout in. Just have to be creative and experiment. I'm glad i picked up a couple new things watching this.

Weighted vest! I would have never bought one before but under the circumstances it has been awesome. I bought a 40 pounder...you can remove weight if needed. I did: 5 sets of squats, 25-40 reps 3-4 sets of reverse lunges, 15-20 reps per leg RDL s holding a 10 pound dumbbell, the weight fro the vest helps but could definitely hold a heavier dumbbell superset with unilateral calf raises with just the vest weight ,off a step of my deck ......you can also walk up hills or stairs...my legs are fried. I would use this with or without a gym. So much easier on your joints too. Weighted vest 👍....thank me later
