Explosive Leg-gain Workout: Get Bigger With This High-intensity 6 Set Routine!

[@kolbkoloss]

6:14 Mike in the back drinking like a big-ass toddler got me pissing myself hahaha

[@pablowall]

I don't think it was even a joke 😂 why does he drink like that

[@claudiouvm]

And drinking urine, none the less.

[@imbaby5499]

How is that drinking like a toddler?

[@lepari9986]

​@imbaby5499 because toddlers use two hands when drinking, exactly like that.

[@MrTliving]

The proportions threw me off too, like is Dr. Mike way smaller than I thought, or is that bottle way bigger than normal? This is some Hollywood levels of trickery from Scott the video guy.

I just tried leaning forward of the seated legs curls and HOLY CRAP!! YOU'RE SO RIGHT!!!

[@henrikgostomski286]

I used to watch these workout "motivation" vids from fitness influencers and I never really got the point. Someone cheat curling 40kg dumbbells never made me wanna hit the gym immediately. Watching this vid, i understand that feeling for the first time now. You getting that last rep in at 11:50, eyes bloodshot, mid section almost bursting, quads fucking pumped as hell... that is true intensity.

[@BaconManBruh]

When i do that people start staring at me and I'm not the roaring type since I workout quietly a few grunts here and there but not intentional. I guess it's just that jeezus christ he's really milking that thing like i already did my 6 reps and it's the last set but I'm feeling it so I make this decision when this urge to do more comes so I hit it another then another pausing each time ago and a little more intense till I turn red and veins in my head start popping. Feels good bruh, like pent up frustrations unleashed.

Dude, my buddies always get me at least once a gym session mid set with some off the wall bullshit that gets me laughing and I have to pause the set. "Moms make sons weak" is the type of shit they'd say.

[@Sir.DavidBruce]

*That looks like a very gruesome, effective workout.* *The DB Lunge tip is amazing because I started doing them and focused on the front leg and took as much pressure off the backfoot as possible while going down slowly.* *That seemed very effective and stretched/pumped the shit out of my glutes but also my Quads, without impacting my rear leg too much but rather stretching my hip.* *Could barely lift myself up at the last rep.* *_Thanks for the info! It is very valuable if you are still unexperienced in many areas and try to ''make the lift harder, more intense''_* *_without adding weight to improve the technique, being able to go up in weight while having a effective form._*

[@rogerjohnson2490]

I have a question. I built my legs up in the last six months, but I'm ready to try cardio to start cutting body fat. I want to keep the muscles I earned. I keep hearing from people that if I do cardio, I will lose some of the muscle, and in the past, I did too much cardio and lost most of the muscle I earned. Can you tell me the perfect treadmill setting to lose fat? Such as the incline, speed, how long to walk, and how many times a week. I want to start the cardio in July. Thanks

[@willnotwill7167]

Thought I'd share an anecdote from my own recent experience and suggest an alternative. I've been spending the last 6 weeks learning cleans, 2-3x a week. It is such a technical movement it requires 100's (probably more like thousands) of repetitions to really perfect and execute a proper clean. My cardiovascular endurance has absolutely increased and have burned fat just simply learning the technique with an empty barbell up to only 135ibs. Weight lifting is super dynamic and can be personalized to satisfy any goal. To sum it up, if you don't enjoy traditional cardio, try cleans! When you start to get good at them you can incorporate other movements, keeping the weight low (reducing systemic fatigue and more aerobic) such as push presses, hang cleans, power clean, push jerk, ect as well as develop your front squat (if you don't already) naturally through just cleaning. There are plenty of offbrand fitbit's (like at walmart) to track calorie expenditure and you can measure this against any cardio you may do. Also, calisthenics, more ab work will burn calories without gnarly systemic fatigue and not beat your joints up. I'd keep in mind, the vast majority of people who think they clean don't. Film yourself a lot and maintain a very high level attention to detail, frame by frame on your video. Filming yourself is the only way to ensure you are executing well and use only Olympic lifter form videos for guidance (just avoid crossfit). A mirror is not helpful with these at all. Anyhow, good luck on the cut.

[@salemsarni-gg7md]

Look up Dr. Mike Diamonds tutorials on cutting.

[@rogerjohnson2490]

@@salemsarni-gg7md@salemsarni-gg7md Thanks; I already found that info some time ago, and I'm on the right track. After a few weeks, I'm shedding, and the muscles are showing up.

[@musabawad7230]

Bit late and in no way am i a professional but the concept of doing cardio will take away muscle is smthn people who are too lazy to actually do it made up to feel better abt themsleves. The only exception is u shouldnt do it immediately before or after training. Meaning do your cardio early and then later in the day go train or vice versa

[@Canada-_]

Just did this workout I am now crippled will be doing again :3

[@guessmyname1104]

Dr. Mike I noted that on seated hamstring curls, you lower your thigh instead of keeping it stationary. Is that by design?

[@thor498]

Ir is the hamstrings do both hip extension and knee flexion so if you want to have maximal contraction you can putvin some extension activity

[@robertandrew880]

Crazy thing about Legs, I backed off my volume about 6 months ago, due to needing a hip replacement. My legs grew with the lessened volume. So definitely something to lower volume, increase the intensity.

[@FinnH-12]

[@MThomas92]

RP app has me on the following for my perdominately leg day - on week 4 leg press @ 125# x2 sets- 25 reps Leg extension @ 62.5# - 1 set - 22reps ** theres no space between these two exercises does that mean theyre supposed to be a superset??? dumbell reverse lunge @ 20# x1 set - 23 reps **2-3 sets previous weeks lying leg curl @ 75# x1 set - 11reps calf machine @ 40# x3 sets - 21,21,16 before the RP app i would do these same exercises except reverse lunge for 5sets 10-12 with relatively the same weights +/- 10pounds and never felt the same amount of pump im getting from what RP app lays down for me, im also working with far greater ROM as well. Dr. Mike - Just cut a piece of foam pad shaped for over your shoulders and connects behind the neck - essentially a foam collar - should solve the issue

Can you make a video all about body movement exercises that actually work for bodybuilding at home. Tips and tricks

[@kogkaros]

Hey Mike, enjoying the content, I am curious about a trend I noticed lately in your training videos, though. I remember you used to advocate one exercise for up to six or seven sets, and then considering adding another exercise, should you train with more than 8 sets per muscle group. Lately though, your training consists primarily of various exercises for the same muscle group, each one of them performed for two, sometimes 3 sets. Is this a new approach you are taking, or was your old advice more of a suggestion for beginners, and not advanced lifters who need to target the muscle in various ways?

[@RDS_Armwrestling]

This session is the first session after an active rest phase, so the sets and effort are relatively low compared to the end of the mesocycle, by which time there will be more sets per exercise to higher intensity.
