Grind-Style Calisthenics Leg Workout

[@jist1377]

As much as i want for your channel to blow up, one part of me would like it to stay like this. The reasonnig behind this seemingly envious statement is simple. When going to the gym, i feel like I'm the only one working out the right way 😂 Jokes aside, this channel is revelation for me, keep it up!

[@RedDeltaProject]

Thanks Jozo Istuk! Think of it this way, someday when everyone's jumping on this you can say "Yea but I was watching RDP before all you other folks even knew about it. 😛

[@engenheiromateus]

"Bluma". For Blue Master and BLEW MY mind!!😄😄😄 I definately want one of that!!

[@terribleatcalisthenics7848]

I always would do pistol squats without a hamstring dominant exercise in the past, and I've made a big effort this past year to ensure that I have a good balance between the two muscle groups. Wish I thought to do leg curls with bands in the past.

[@onceuponthecross1]

you are absolutely right, hamstring work alo makes squats feel safer and stronger.

[@XxChipsxX]

Good nuggets!

[@RedDeltaProject]

Mmmmm nuggets. :P

[@UnprofessionalAthlete]

One way to increase intensity for my bodyweight leg exercises is to slightly pause at the bottom to make sure i push up w just my leg. It helps me avoid using momentum to get out of the bottom. Also trying to "touch glutes to heels" as you say.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Great point Nick, I struggled with that bounce for years myself until I really put a longer pause in at the bottom

"Perhaps" is better.

[@SkorpENPL]

I think app with different levels of technical details would be great. Or even list what to look for in every exercise. I find that technical details are lost when fatigue kicks in. So having external source of remainders would be great.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Not a bad idea at all, I'm currently looking to make some sort of an ultimate bodyweight exercise resource (Book, app program etc) and that would be a good thing to include in it.

Hey Matt, I just started doing the hamstring "curls" but without rings. Just on the floor. I was wondering if you could make a video on all the progressions to this exercise from 2 legs to 1 leg and using different angles please? Thanks!

Good call, I should get into that this week or early next.

Awesome video as always Matt ! Do you ever do weight training? Even if it’s seldom or weighted calistentics ?

I haven't done anything like that for almost 10 years now. It's not something I've avoided so much as I just have a strong focus on the BW stuff.

[@raphaelhaucke6356]

Hey man, love your vids! Do you have some advice on shin-splints and pain in the deep lower leg muscles? Are those a sign that I overtrain? So should I just reduce intensity and wait it out?

[@RedDeltaProject]

You may have overdone it. Reduce what you're doing, I'm guessing running, and work on your calf raises and walking around on your heels to strengthen the muscles on the front of the leg.

[@briann3211]

Can you do a video about sprinting

Hi Matt, just reading and working out to GSC but I’m having problems attempting shrimp squats. Any pointers or just concentrate on a lower level? Thanks for the great videos :-)

[@RedDeltaProject]

Yea, move to a lower level and see if you can produce more tension and stability in the muscles. Essentially you want to squeeze as much benefit out of each level as possible, or you can take a mini step and try doing a level between the two. So maybe two handed supported hover lunge which is a little easier than the shrimp squat

[@peterlockitt6771]

RedDeltaProject thanks Matt I will give it a go :-)

[@tamasvenczel9477]

Hey Matt! What do you think about bulgarian split squat?

[@RedDeltaProject]

I like them a lot, but one of the biggest mistakes with them is putting the rear leg too high which can limit your ROM. best to keep your rear foot on something about 6-9 inches high not something that's as high as a weight bench.

[@tamasvenczel9477]

@@RedDeltaProject Thanks! 🙂

[@WaltLQ]

Matt when you were making your way out of pain, did you need to foam roll at all? Tom Myers talks about "ungluing tissue." In your opinion, is this needed or did you go right into calisthenics?

[@WaltLQ]

I actually just watched your video on why you don't warm up and it brought about some thought. Yes the muscles are just as tense later on when you roll them out or stretch them out and what about "gluing?" I guess the muscles gluing side by side to one another, maybe this is what Tom Myers is referring to. What's your thoughts?

[@RedDeltaProject]

I used to do a lot of foam rolling back when my lower back and hip was giving me constant pain. It did what I expected, in giving me some temporary relief but it wasn't a cure. Improving tension control and a big ROM in training made a much bigger difference. haven't heard about the notion of muscles glueing together, but I still feel like mobility and tension control can do a lot to help. I should look into it more.

[@WaltLQ]

@@RedDeltaProject Matt I think you'd appreciate this it's Tom Myers giving a presentation at Google, because the muscle facia is unitary it supports what your saying about keeping tension throughout the body, anyways check this out! 👍...kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIDdpHd_qbxqeNU

[@viniciusrodrigues1269]

Hi Matt, I was wondering what's your take on Nordic curls?

[@RedDeltaProject]

I haven't really practiced them before as I much prefer the one's here. They seem easier to get into and work the whole posterior chain very well. NCs seem to be very intense and most people just do them as negatives, not a bad thing but I wonder if they are worth doing compared to these. I should put them in my program and see

[@viniciusrodrigues1269]

@@RedDeltaProject Thx, I have seen articles about preventing hams injuries with NC. The big drawback to me is the set up to anchor the feet, I'm still working on it. Any ideas would be welcome.

[@teongjihperng3180]

2 working sets are enough???

[@RedDeltaProject]

They can be, depends on mental focus and intensity and how warmed up you are.

[@OffGridMadMan]

This is wicked! I'v just squatted the life out of myself, managed 8 Bulgarian single legs on each leg which I'm chuffed with considering I'v had a patello-femoral replacement and only been doing this for 1 month. I will be trying this stuff when fresh again! PS - The Athlean-X geezer Jeff says that sissy squats are bad. I hold you in higher regard than him as he's often way off, are they all about hamstring strength? Muchos ass-to-grass......

[@RedDeltaProject]

They do work the hamstrings but more from a supportive role they really are more about quad strength since they are pretty much a BW leg extension

Hello I was wondering if you could make a video about bones popping while training. In weightlifting this was never an issue for me but since i shifted towards bodyweight training about 6 months ago Its quite frequent. I dont feel any discomfort or pain while it happens so it should be alright but could you elloborate on why it happens and what could prevent it. I am currently at ~82kg, 183cm and about 8% bodyfat (if i guess).

[@RedDeltaProject]

Great idea! Let me do some research and see what I can do for a video.

[@mr.potatohead6138]

When I do pistols on my left leg I twist inwards and/or fall backward. I seem to have good ankle mobility so wtf is going on?🤙

[@RedDeltaProject]

There's a stabilizer in the hip that's not quite working as it should. It's either: - Your hip abductors are not on enough or - Your inner thight hamstring is not engaged enough Both can be problematic at the bottom of the squat in many cases.

Maybe name the little fella Numan. As in New Man. Numan the Human. Or Newman. Or Hugh Mann. Here’s another: Danny Delta. Or Donny Delta. Or Dimmy - he can model what NOT to do, he’s sooo dim. He’s not Red, though. He needs to be Red. Since he’s blue, maybe he should do things backwards. Of course, that could bring unwanted political comparisons. Hmmm. Gotta’ stay away from politics, right? Of course a Blue Delta man could have other meanings. Ah-ha! That’s it - just call him “Blue.” Aaannyyy-who, great video. I love variety in leg work because I hate working my damn legs; they take up about half my body length. The knees are arthritic as hell, too. Both meniscii are torn right now. Holding off on surgery, though - already had two meniscus surgeries, one of which resulted in a loss of my greater saphenous vein due to a clot. Long story about legs with a short point: LIKE MATT SAYS, FORM IS VERY IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY WHEN KNEES ARE INVOLVED. Sometimes knees act like delicate little flowers! AND avoid surgery to repair meniscal tears if you can - most are unnecessary! In fact, avoid surgery in general; if there’s a less invasive treatment, why not go with that first? Second opinions and a little personal research are always good when surgery has been recommended. And yeah, I don’t have a lot on my plate today, so I’m a bit of a chatter box. Pardon. ✌🏻✊🏻🙏
