Scientific Workout For Building Huge Legs

[@diogosimoes5268]

Man when he finished the leg press and started crying... I feel your pain bro.

[@rerdak4334]

Nobody will see this, but: I've been following these "scientific trainings" you've posted on your channel and, to be honest, they are doing god's work on my body. I feel a steady growth and, honestly, I just feel great overall. Thank you very much for uploading these videos my man, you're chaning my life. I had been laying on a bed for 10 months (+ recovery) after a surgery and this is exactly what my body needed to get back on track. Cheers bro, a hug from Spain ❤

[@lowevelocity10]

Did this workout three days ago and I still struggle to get about my daily activities. Seriously the hardest leg workout I’ve ever done in my life, I’d recommend everyone to try it!

[@PerryBattles]

Originally I thought I wouldn't be able to hit full ROM on leg press while keeping a good back position, but I discovered that accentuating the eccentric really helped me with two things: 1. Awareness of body position. 2. Actively allowing certain muscles (adductors, for example) to open up and allow the weight to sink deeper toward the bottom end of the machine without anything else moving.

[@gillpeakperformance4945]

1) After doing leg curls before compound lifts for quite a few mesocycles, I'm looking to keep doing so for the foreseeable future. 2) This could be a top-notch series! Awesome video

[@brandonhutchins3041]

Thank you so much for the workout. I have never had such a hard leg workout feel so good! Having my supporting muscles fresh on squats, but my quads gassed was a welcome feeling.

[@Penumbralvision]

Want to make sure I got it right… So resting between sets is four points: 1 local muscles are recharged , For example, the quads can do five or more squats again 2 nonlocal muscles that are limiting factors for the target local models to work or reset… For example, the low back is too tired to squat again, which would mean your quads don’t get a work out. 3 respiratory system recovered so you’re not breathing so heavy your breath is not a limiting factor to finishing the set either 4 waiting for central fatigue to go away, so you can look at the bar or machines or cable and feel positive about the next that you were about to do, not defeated by the sight of the wait for subject

[@jwgosla08]

Doc, that shirt complements your arms and physique the best I've seen. I'd have that shirt made over and over in that color with different logo's/sayings imo. A lot of other shirts I've seen you on don't do you the justice you deserve. X's and O's.

[@dearservice1998]

That's so obvious but I'd never thought of it, of course the target muscle should be the one that fails

[@azulsimmons1040]

I been watching more Mike lately. Now I have no idea what the beef is on failure training. Mike trains hard. He seems to know there are a lot of different ways to get big and strong. He does things his way because it suits him and his experience and knowledge base indicates it lowers injury rates from super heavy, low volume training. Which is exactly my experience. Seen people get big and strong so many different ways that I never think there is one way even if a particular rep range or what not is somewhat more optimal. The reality is the most optimal way to train is consistently over a long time using various techniques and poundages and you'll get big and strong within the limit of your genetics.

[@paddyoosullivan]

[@sexo199]

[@jamesmahoney5240]

It's nice to see people not doing insane weights and still looking jacked out of their f*ng mind... this guy is MASSIVE and he's doing 2 45's (from what it looks like) a side on the leg press.... just nice to see since it's easy to get caught up in ego lifting

[@bonniesharmony]

So well explained, my son turned me on to this site, I hope people just check it out. If your a women, you won’t be so intimidated at the gym full of big guys because he gives you the knowledge. Thank you.

[@WorldsPassingBy]

Gave this a go tonight and the volume felt incredible, absolutely character building on the leg press and the Smith machine front squats (had to use hack squat machine because gym was very busy) were absolute failure after like 3 reps lol. Can't wait for DOMs tomorrow, need to fill out the gym shorts this year!

[@a-dalematthews4364]

On the other hand I found that doing leg curl first changed the way youll squat later in that session. And Espfcially if u put leg press before squat .

[@LordPepe-jh5dt]

I made the mistake of attempting to do RDLs after the leg press (our weight room doesn't have ham machines). Don't do it. I literally couldn't get more than 5 reps in of barbell only RDLs because my quads were spasming so bad I could not stand. I had to half walk half fall over to the nearest bench to sit down. When you do this man's workouts, make sure you look at his tutorial/common mistake videos first. I've never had a leg press hit my quads as hard as today. I walked out of the gym looking like a baby giraffe 😂 I didn't even do the smith machine squats 😅

That's so true about leg curls I experienced it today at the end of my workout I was like I can't really feel this today at all but the 3 days before it was an insanely good feeling doing it first

[@andonbrown9131]

Decided to try this leg day after my 12 hour shift... My legs are numb

[@6uno0]

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 01:03 🏋️‍♂️ *Start with lying leg curls for hamstrings before quad exercises to manage systemic fatigue and ensure productive leg curls without interference.* 02:50 🔄 *Rest times between sets should consider recovery for hypertrophic stimulation, central fatigue (nervous system readiness), cardiorespiratory fatigue, and synergist muscle recovery.* 04:46 🏋️‍♂️ *Leg press emphasis on full range of motion with deep and strict technique (heels and toes on platform) for optimal hypertrophy in the quads.* 06:41 🏋️‍♂️ *Smith machine squats with feet forward can target quads specifically; it's a tool, not inherently better or worse than regular squats.* 08:05 🔄 *For feet forward Smith machine squats, stick to 5-10 reps per set to maintain a heavy stimulus and focus on quads as the limiting factor.* 09:23 🔄 *This peak week workout involves pushing to failure or zero reps in reserve; adjust sets, reps, and intensity gradually over a mesocycle for sustained progress.*

[@robertgarland5012]

Hey Mike, for lying leg curls I usually start off using plantarflexion and then move to dorsiflexion when I can no longer execute using plantarflexion. What're your thoughts on this?

[@robertchalfant7233]

Great stuff, so do you think for a meso-cycle for this type of leg work 4 to 5 weeks then deload, and what % to start again the new cycle?

[@jamesmahon838]

Keep in mind, the Five stars are based on my needs for this item kzbin.infoUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS When I first bought the bike I was going to return it immediately. After trying it out for several days/weeks I came to realize it is actually perfect for WHY I bought it.This is not a workout, the resistance is, eh, it makes a bit of noise, not loud, and it isn’t very stable even with the mat. The mat certainly keeps the bike from sliding but nothing keeps the mat from sliding (if that makes any sense, lol). Mine is place on my hard wood floor. Maybe it would be better with a rug underneath??I sit for long hours for work and wanted something to keep my legs moving. This bike does exactly that! For the price it is amazing, it is compact, easy to use, light weight, keeps track of time, calories etc (not sure how accurate it is) but good little product. I am happy with it.

[@robinrozsypal984]

What is the frequency of leg training considering so low volume in this session, it being the last week of meso? It would make only 16 sets for quads and 10 sets for hams if done twice a week. I think you would add RDL or SLDL the next session, so maybe another 5 sets for hams, that would make 15 sets for hams, but I would be really serious, how whole last week of the meso looks like.

[@TheFatSteez]

Robin Rozsypal 16 sets of 1-0RIR quad training a week isn’t easy

[@TheFatSteez]

not low volume

[@robinrozsypal984]

@@TheFatSteez I didn´t say it´s easy to do, but for a last week of meso there could be more sets, even above 20 in the week

[@TheFatSteez]

@@robinrozsypal984 It's too individual to say. It depends on prior training, training frequency, MRV etc. He might be super explosive and 16 sets of quads fucks him

[@iamafloorguythe3rd]

A little late, but if you're still having issues with it, consider lowering & narrowing your foot placement if possible, or only going through a range of motion that you can comfortably handle. You can also think about ripping a piece of paper with your feet (counterclockwise for the left foot and clockwise the for right) to help with external rotation

What does a deload week and resensitization week look like in terms of volume and amount of weight used?

[@imsorrythankyouplease7613]

Mike says he would substitute a deload week for a week off of lifting before he would do a normal workout. My recommendation is 30-50% of the previous weeks’ intensity and volume. Just enough to stay in the habit of training, practice motor patterns, and prevent muscle loss. Nothing remotely impressive.

[@MamboManic]

Hairy Cherub I think Mike said that you should cut the volume much more than intensity in a reload, like only a 20% drop in weight on the bar. The idea is to reduce fatigue that has accumulated.

[@imsorrythankyouplease7613]

Mambo Manic I’m sure the optimal protocol changes from athlete to athlete. Try his style first. If you’re not that advanced, feel free to experiment with less stimulus.
