Scientific Workout For Building Huge Legs #2

Great example of basic leg training! Most of these videos so far have been ‘peak week’ as you say so the hardest you can train practically. Could you give an example of a session in the first week of a mesocycle so we can see what RPE 6/7 and MEV looks like?

[@sharieff13baby]

Dr Mike I love your workout. I love science backed workouts and professionals like you truly make it easier. You are like Athlean X in that you use science to back your workouts but are more personable. Keep up the good work, glad to support you!

[@MrCrossfireno1]

Comparing him to Jeff ‘this one movement is going to SODOMISE your shoulders’ Cavaliere is insulting Mike and RP, hahaha

[@sharieff13baby]

@@MrCrossfireno1 I was only comparing him to Jeff because they both use science to back up their methods. You may not like Jeff but he is quite knowledgeable about exercising and is an aid to many people (myself included). I like to pick and choose certain things from these experts and create my own personalized way of doing things. It's definitely within reason to find value in both Dr. Mike's and Jeff Cavelier's methods.

[@Ash-zt3zc]

Jeff who? Never heard of her

[@MrCrossfireno1]

Sharieff Peru Jeff uses a thin veneer of science, really. Even as a medical student, to me, his info on injury is out of touch and makes me cringe, especially the clickbait and harmful way it is presented. I’d stick with RP and sources like barbellmedicine.

[@r.lohengramm8709]

@@sharieff13baby Athlean X doesnt mix science with anything. Its pseudo science. Mike would probably agree on this.

[@osmosinsane9611]

Tried it after watching. I love it. Sweetly killing the heck outta me. Hit a damn mrv had to wait 6 days for the quads to recover. Altho i did hit hamstrings for a fatality in thesame week, must admit that the burn in the quads made it damn hard to go up tge stairs for awhile! 🔥🦵🔥

Love you Dr. Mike and RP. I'd love to see more videos just like this one. I'm sure Paul is up for it.

[@ΚουτσικοςτωνΚουτσικαιων]

No deadlifts. No romanian deadlifts. No hypertrophy blocks. No powerlifting techniques. 1sec-2sec ratio between positive-negatives reps. Thats the workout a bodybuilder should do. Not just going for pr's, doing 5x5 and eating like an obese buffalo. Fitness people are trying so much to bring powerlifting philosophy in gym's and bodybuiling in general. NO YOU DONT HAVE TO LIFT HEAVY to be a bodybuilder. You can bring intesity in your workout by adding volume, more time under tension, smaller breaks between sets etc etc. Just squats. Hack squat and hamstring curls. Dr Mike is really keeping it simple. As it should be. Intesity=time under tensionXvolume=motherf**ing gains.

[@ASpowersports]

Late to the party but the dude gave you maximum effort. Great job on his will power and determination. Sub for sure

[@sparky72]

One of the most brutal parts of doing lying hamstring curls after nuking quads is the incredible pain of pressing your burning, pumped up quads into the seat/bench

[@kbrizy7490]

Loved this. Know that pain.

[@reinis.berzins]

If I stop 1 rep before failure - I don't get as exhausted and can do almost as many reps on my next sets, thus my total volume is higher e.g. 10+10+10+11=41 reps (going to failure on the last set). Compare it with only 11+9+7+5=32 reps if you go failure on each set. Plus research shows muscle and strength growth and less strain for both beginners and well trained athletes that don't go to failure regularly. While it's not clear if going to failure on almost every set on the last week before deload is similarly detrimental to progress but my guess is that it's safer to go to failure on the last set of each muscle group only once at the very end of the mesocycle because of less fatigue and more volume. At the same time it's ok to plan your mesocycle to start with 4 reps to failure on the 1st week, 3 reps on the next, 2 reps next, 1 reps next and end with 0 reps on the last week, because as you have become stronger after 4 weeks - your old 0 reps to failure are actually new 1 reps to failure which is more optimal.

[@amaseaman]

no! He's cold, more warm up is needed next time.

[@jamesdashper1316]

amaseaman r u joking ahah he’s already done 7 sets of quads I think he warmed up by then

[@horrorshowbass]

Dr Mike could you do a leg workout working around low back pain please?

[@Spagettikasi]

Lower back supported hack and leg press machines works for me

[@sirkam111]

I’m late to the party. I had back surgery for a herniated disk about a year and a half ago. I have a garage gym with only free weights, no machines. I’ve found Bulgarian split squats with a front rack position to be awesome for my quads. My favorite glute and ham exercise is a single leg trap bar deadlift. Both exercises limit the spinal loading since they’re unilateral, but you can really push them far!

[@sethogrady9950]

Mike needs a Medal of Honor

[@rik9833]

legend says that paul is still trembling after the workout

[@jamieogorman9461]

Brilliant

[@MajesticSkywhale]

Are barbell hack squats/deadlifts (behind the back DL) as good as with the sled, or maybe even better, especially if I'm designing a strength focused concurrent program? Also I'm poor and don't have that machine lol

[@MajesticSkywhale]

Why not squat in the cage where there's spotter arms you can set to the proper height where if you fail there's no danger?

[@joeschmo2693]

That's one of my leg days right now, but 3 sets of everything, and I'm using a safety squat bar. Anyone else have a hard time keeping their ass against the pad on hack squats?

[@mence5992]

You are lucky that in your Gym there Is a safety bar. I can't do front squat for a shoulder problem, and without the safety i can Just Do High bar squats ti hit my quads.

[@stavroslv9184]

If you have such an issue, mobility work is the key! Increased mobility especially at the hip joint is gonna do most of the work. But, ankle and knee mobility is gonna help a ton!

[@lucyberg4811]

Oh yeah, and his effort is FUCKING OUTLANDISH

[@alharry13a]

Awesome video! Dr. Mike even tells us how to breath for squats at 1:04. This leg workout is actually perfect and more scientific than a leg workout based pseudoscience.

[@AngryOscillator]

Looked like Paul was going to seizure at least twice during that! God damn Dr. Mike, you related to Dr. Evil?

[@johnsmiff8328]

There's a perfectly good squat rack with safeties yet you still cut the set short of failure?

[@TryingNotToPanic]

I've seen whole racks fall over... so idk how safe they are when there's a shit ton of weight on there lol.

[@overgrownturnip]

@@TryingNotToPanic It is a shit rack if it can't do the job it was made to do

[@MrStrutxD]

@@overgrownturnip He's only using like 255lbs anyway... That's not going to tip ANY rack over.

[@rushpea447]

Opinion on lying hamstring curl vs seated? I have always preferred seated because I find during lying hamstring curls it is difficult not to engage my erectors and just extend the spine, cheating the weight up.

[@diagonals792]

Best alternative for hack squats? Smith? My gym doesn't have one of those unfortunately

[@mat3show940]

3 exercises only is okay?

[@randell0101]

Is there any need for failure sets then if you get the same hypertrophy results from keeping 1 or 2 reps in the tank ?

[@mustafakamaran5195]

Dr mike didnt u say in the last leg video that starting with hamstring work is better?

[@Mithosphere]

Or squat inside of the rack and use the safeties at an appropriate height, then you wouldn't have to stress over dumping weight on to your body....

[@2RBeast]

If you’re a novice, yeah sure squat inside of the rack, but sometimes it’s personal preference

[@Benedict_Cypress_II]

Would this workout be performed twice a week?

[@GeoffryHol]

Genuinely curious if he did warm up sets?

[@Achezvil2003]

Mike, why do u tend to use more the lying for hams?

what was it called again? big quads but small vmo?

[@Stervtheliv]

What is ORIR?

[@VT5874]

I think what your asking is.. What is 0 RIR. Zero reps in reserve. You can not complete another rep, but you didn’t go to total failure.

[@schroederluck7984]

My guy is going to destroy himself on account of that left ankle. He should be much stronger on the squat just looking at how much muscle mass he has, but it's clear that his instability is causing him to bleed power. He's eventually going to collapse at the bottom and snap something there too. He could really use some ankle mobility work.

Based on bar speed....the vast majority of those sets were not even close to failure. If your concentric takes 1.5-2 seconds...you weren't at failure!!!
