" A taaget maa qwaaads with baabeel sqwaat?"

[@ScottHermanFitness]

You don't understand English?

[@beebzy2times815]

I think that person was highlighting your accent is quite different than from other vids.

[@deanmartin0799]

Daniil Pintjuk a

[@shaksayed4749]

What accent is that when he pronounces his double A's - taaaaaget, baaaabel?

[@Villgaxx07]

[@davidsirmons]

"you wanna tahget yah qwahhds..."

[@ScottHermanFitness]

hey, most of the times your website gives "Unable to Connect to Database Server -> 1040 : Too many connections" error when clicking on the link. I think its time to upgrade your backend/server services to take in more connections

[@boss3062]

scott can i do hack squat instead of barbell squat and still get results thanks

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+FullMetalPower7 yeah we are doing a massive upgrade right now actually. I am very excited!!!

[@frankfurfaro1885]

2SUB ZERO i do front hacks and leg press and i cant get my legs to get bigger no matter what i do

[@mhedrick2323]

Me too

[@trexbattle]

The high bar vs low bar article was great, I especially enjoyed the section with the dynamic warm ups.

[@joshuasmith5394]

Perfect tip and a new goal for next year

[@moonill]

About targeting inner quads, a redditor posted this to a fitness subreddit when asked about it: "It is kind of hard to specifically say why something can't/ doesn't happen in your body. But basically, they (all 4 muscles making the quads, but it is easiest to picture vastus lateralis and vastus medalis which are outer and inner quads respectively) are all innervated my the same nerve. So when they activate, that nerve is signaling the muscles to contract. But the nerve can't selectively activate, it send the signal to all of the quads. It is like an electric line delivering charge. The 1 line splits into little branches that innervate all of the muscles that signal them to contract. But those branches are still just extensions of the 1 electric line. Once the charge starts going it is delivered to every branch equally. My suspicion is that certain positions make one side or the other look bigger, like the last part of my previous post. But the studies done that measure electrical charge say that everything is equal. My opinion is, just keep working your quads, the inner will develop along with the rest." www.reddit.com/r/fitness30plus/comments/57oq89/%D0%BD%D0%BEw_d%D0%BE_%D1%96_t%D0%B0rg%D0%B5t_%D1%96nn%D0%B5r_qu%D0%B0ds/d8xotba/?context=3&st=IW9BGIS5&sh=7cf662f3

[@BenLloydPT]

Never thought about a narrow stance on the leg press...my vastus lateralis is a weak point so I look forward to trying it. Thanks!

[@emburgess7186]

Awesome info. I'm one of those guys that was doing it wrong. Thanks Scott for setting me on the right path...for better quads..happy holidays...

[@drakingson]

You are the best Scott.

[@fahadhum]

Such a useful tip.I was doing the same mistake i.e Doing Squats & then doing Leg Press rite after with the same foot stance ...

[@billytisme]

Leg day tomorrow, this gem is just in time!

[@davecom3]

Damn it I thought this video would show me how to get big quads without actually doing any work.

[@carrillo100100]

David C Boy... go to the gym no excuses

[@nikam4167]

carrillo100100 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@carrillo100100]

Abu Jason Al-Blahino whats up with people not liking leg day is it too much hustle?

[@juswolf22]

David C put some synthol in them then

[@juswolf22]

M.C. Bro that's like the best advice I've read

[@berner]

Good to see you not telling us to get rid of one exercise and strictly going with just leg press or just squats. I don't have a press machine at home (I turned the master bedroom of my apartment into a home gym), but I do have a smith machine. What are your thoughts on smith machine leg presses? I notice that when I do them, once my knees tuck down far enough, my pelvis will actually raise up off the floor because of the tilt that happens, so I have no idea if that's a good thing or a bad thing and figured I'd ask you. Thanks man!

[@ThaGenius101]

Hey Scott I'm 5 and a half and I'm short. Does milk make me grow?

[@christosswc]

No it won't. Milk has large amounts of vitamin A & D as well as a LOT of calcium which are necessary for the development of new organisms. Once the development of your bones ceases, these nutrient are way in excess of what your body needs and too much calcium ain't good. Milk is still a good source of important nutrients but at the later stages of their lives people would do well to reduce milk consumption to more reasonable levels and switch to foods that better suit their needs. That's why I feel the "1 gallon a day" of milk principle is completely stupid unless one is looking to get kidney stones from the excess calcium.

[@chuckr9938]

Milk is for babies, men drink beer.

[@wqbb287]

GR8_MeMO what if I don't have toys

[@DaLooseGoose11]

Steroids and synthol, kid, they help you get huge!

[@visionzz3749]

Use growth hormones then thank me later buddy ;)

[@hades8289]

but before we get starred

[@lovegaming7683]

Trap staaaated

[@Bill_Riser]

You gotta taaagit the quads

[@eireyouok101]

i went a way from your vids for a couple of months there, first one i come back to and its the same amazing quality as i remember, brilliant advice man

[@dairms]

this video was so helpful i learned lots of new things. thank you

[@luisfelipe9765]

this is very good advice. I'm no expert or anything but I tested with the leg a lot and I kind of think that a close stand was the way go and also, do the whole range of motion instead of what most people do (stag every plate on it and move it a bit back and forward)

[@funkimunki6215]

Howzit Scott, I'm 14 and I would really appreciate it if you did a video on what's the right age to start gyming. Some people say gyming when you young stunts your growth while others say it's OK to gym when you young.Really appreciate it if you did a video.

[@danisoccer7]

scott!loved you The Real World and love your channel!

[@JP-es4kr]

Good video, Scott! The triceps of the leg!!

[@govindshenoy2789]

Thank you for your videos. Beginner here. Very insightful.

[@Victoriascarn]

DAT HAIRCUT SCOTT YOUR FINALLY GETTING WITH THE TIMES !

[@aamirh8879]

Really enjoying your videos man.

[@levielano4133]

Im enjoying all your vids. very effective and let me correct my mistakes . keep up the good job sir. Theres a lot of people out there were silent viewers but being good because of your advises and tips. Very specific, effective and accurate.

[@The_Blanco_Bronco]

Years ago I used to watch you a ton, but your accent is clearly stronger now than it was then lol.

[@BoomJitsu]

I finally know how to TAH-GET my quads now! this is wicked re-tah-ded awesome!

[@LovePeace2025]

probably the best video on leg press

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Glad you liked it my friend!! Have you tried my 12 week program?! muscularstrength.com/12-week-challenge-workouts

[@bobanyfingelf]

Very useful video - thank you Scott.

[@AdamIZxMiiDNIGHT]

So Scott, in your early videos were you hiding your accent? or are you playing it up now?

[@wqbb287]

AdamIZxMiiDNIGHT he made a video about that I think

[@OneHandedClapper]

u mirin brah? i king does he have an accent in this video you speak of

[@upgrayeddd1]

yeah, he keeps coming in and out of an accent.

Angel Luna that’s because he’s not from the city of Boston and lived in the suburbs. He won’t have a full accent all the time.

[@anthonyvuong]

You should not always go ass to grass. If your mobility doesn't allow you to go ass to grass, you could injure your lower back. You should stop before butt wink. Also putting your legs too low on the leg press will put unnecessary pressure on your knee tendons which can lead to knee injuries... smh

[@robbo2859]

Lol thats gold

[@KDuB9I6]

Great info! Wish your channel was around when i started doing legs, would have saved me a lot of trouble. Speaking of legs, I experimented with some crazy combination yesterday that absolutely BLEW out my quads. It was a front squat, close stance, toes out knees out, with the heels elevated. Platt stance, but to the front with the heels up basically.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks man! That sounds like a pretty good combo! Made the quads burn I bet! haha. Have you tried any of my workouts from the 12 week challenge? They're all tough..but the leg workouts are INSAIYAN! muscularstrength.com/12-week-challenge-workouts

[@agent-hassan]

Great timing. Leg day today

[@padraiglynch6726]

great advice scott loving the short vids

[@poonerer00]

Many thanks Scott. Followed you for the past year & still learning something with every video that comes up. Keep uploading and I'll keep recruiting subs to your channel.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks for the support Klas!! I am always learning too..then I pass what I learn on to you guys :-D More good stuff coming soon! Have you tried my 12 week program?! muscularstrength.com/12-week-challenge-workouts

[@FlyingJackalope]

Hey Scott, I have been struggling with any kind of squats or deadlifts because of a lumbar fusion. So although you're suggesting not to take out squats for the regular guy, I really don't have a choice. I do the leg presses for sure. I may have to do twice the amount of lifting to replace squats, but I'm okay with it as long as I'm not wasting time on unnecessary lifts. Long setup for question. What lifts should a person with a bad back do for legs, avoiding any compound lifts? I can't get answers from most people. I'm just looking for direction here. I know I still need to talk with my doctors, who told me not to deadlift or squat, but I want to know the right lifts to discuss with them.

[@IHeArTrOcK20]

I personally have always squatted with the bah-bell and I have very stubborn quads. I’ll keep my foot positioning in mind when doing presses though. Thanx for the vid my guy.

[@sabirabdul-lateef5352]

It was as if you were in the gym with me the other day. I made the same exact mistake, Thanks for clearing it up!!!

[@stevenfely8498]

Ahhh Scott. My favorite beefy Boston quad bodybuilder.

[@dhirensukhan4592]

Got dem dope ass quads Scott!

[@simongustafsson2528]

My legs didn't grow until I stopped doing from-squats and went slightly above parallell while not locking knees out but a bit bent, it did hit my legs even more than from-squats.

[@joelscb]

you the man scott

[@209er2]

I'm glad your content with your physique scott, stay natty bro

[@AGrahamB]

I think adequate mobility in the calves is important to quadricep growth as well. If you don't have good calf mobility you are forced to put your feet up higher on the leg press to get good depth which takes a lot of the quads out, as well as being forced to use more hips on the squat. This is what I have noticed for myself, anyways.

[@carlosgonzalezbarco4026]

Scott you move your knees sideways when you squat, should we do that? It looks as if its not meant to be that way

[@rubenTR309]

Very helpful. I'll try this

[@seansurfn2]

good info.. quads laggin.. gonna do this from now on to get width in my legs. thanks man!

[@craigsmith1018]

Scott, You are looking bigger and bulkier these days!! Have you stepped up your training or something or/and have those people who say you're too small to give fitness advice gotten to you. BTW I love your advice. Because of you my benching has improved, the retracting of the scapula your instructions on the close grip bench for triceps.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I have been getting bigger bro! I upped my calories to around 4000 for a while and that really helped! The haters never get to me :-) I've also been training super hard, using a lot of the workouts from my 12 week challenge. Have you tried it?! muscularstrength.com/12-week-challenge-workouts

[@matthewgrinestaff3078]

Do they have a calf raise machine at that gym?? You may want to get the directions to it!!

[@dude4somefun]

Awesome!!! Thanks for those details.

[@knightveg]

Got a nice little Teardrop building, got a nice little bit of out sweep and inner curve on my quads. Now I can't go too deep when I go heavy more like a quarter rep when squatting as I haven't got a partner I still feel a lot of activity in the quads when I do this Should I stop going heavy and just concentrate on light weight Second question reading up about weightlifting shoes especially when doing squats, can't afford to buy them but read putting your feet on a weight or a board to raise your heels it's just as effective Should I avoid this technique

[@snehalthakar4466]

I really like your logic ...ur amazing guy

[@KevinRodriguez-gc7bx]

I used to watch a lot of your videos from several years ago around 2008/2009 when I was in high school when I first started lifting. The last time I remember watching your videos was like 4 years ago I just found this video and I literally never remember you having this accent. I don't know if you moved somewhere and it changed but I remember you pronounced everything perfectly, in my opinion. I'm sorry I have to rewatch the video because I remember you always had great knowledge but I am so distracted by that accent that I know I missed key points.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Watch my 800,000 subscribers video.

[@KevinRodriguez-gc7bx]

I took the time to watch it and I'm really glad you feel much more open and free to be yourself and speak more naturally in your actual voice. I know the boston accent in movies are often times poorly imitated and can confuse the ignorant so I don't doubt the validity of yours. I apologize for not only my curiosity but the many other people who probably weren't sure and the trolls who like to bother. I know it can get old. Thank you for replying and updating me, I honestly did not expect it but I appreciate your work and I'm excited to catch up on the content I missed. You are honestly one of the few channels I feel I can reliably trust as a natural lifter. I'm so glad that you are still around and this video came up in my recommended list. You deserve your success for the work that you've put in and I wish you much more success in all your endeavors. God bless you Scott Herman keep doing your thing.

[@ColossusFitness]

Quuuuuuads for the broads

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Better than hams for the mams :-P

[@zeroman155]

You're a Chris Jones fan.

[@25loukas]

Great tip!!! Going to try this tomorrow, thanks 💪🏻

[@Hafnooz]

You're a life saver...

[@kahfibonboy]

question here, how many sets and reps to increse the size? isn't narrow feet on the leg press make injury on the knees?

[@Jgo36114]

All kinds of gains! ALL KINDZZZZ!

[@zeroman155]

Hodgetwins! ☺️

[@StJamesOutlawz]

I love watching your vids then coming to the comments to see people talking bout your accent.

[@pettypettywoodchuck2]

Thanks for the video Scott I was pretty ignorant about what I was doing on leg press. I would do squats and be drained from them and then go over to leg press and pretty much doing the exact same range of motion and I wondered why I can barely do it. This makes a lot of sense. going to try it next time I'm in the gym

[@georgegilles9008]

Great advice & quads.

[@PiccoloPete818]

Awesome video. Great tips 👍

[@ScottHermanFitness]

You're welcome man!! Thanks for watching! Have you tried my 12 week program?! muscularstrength.com/12-week-challenge-workouts

[@abejayagunod5447]

I never mind how I position my feet on the leg press before; this video is helpful. Thanks.

[@joeblass]

Thanks alot. Very insightful

[@DrZeus-el2tg]

hey I have a question about a subject that I don't think has been addressed by any of the fitness channels yet. So say you have someone who has reached a point where they are happy with their body and they want to maintain it without having to bust their ass at the gym 4-5-6 times a week. is there an easy way to maintain muscle mass? obviously you'd still have to do some sort of training otherwise you'd lose it, but what kind? and how much?

[@mikeyzl1]

Thanks bro good advice as always

[@shobnommustary9916]

Thanks a lot,learned a lot from you

[@pranaygawas709]

Is squatting heavy without shoes safe? Is there any benefit with elevated heals shoes?

[@michelfuzzo996]

Just in time, thanks Scott! Leg gainzzz!! Love your job bro!

[@hsanc72598]

A bit off topic, but do you think it is possible to be like Donte Franklin just by being natty ?

[@SaviJoy19]

Thank you for the information!

[@Ghostspiriti21]

nice video scott! I have a question, isn't going all the way down in a leg press bad for the knees??

[@arafatshahid568]

digging the new hairdo mate..thanks for the great tip!!!

[@rivanbennevendo8653]

This is great Scott! Thanks for the articles too! I always get pain on my right adductor during squats.

[@angelsuarez7967]

As useful as always, man. Thanks!

[@carlyonbay45]

your hair looks great here

[@fmj2324]

Hi Scott, great fan of your videos, I know this is not the subject but I wanted to ask you... Is clean bulk possible??

[@dw9632]

The leg press is great if used correctly. I'm a big fan of front squatting to hit the quads.

[@phantom2k10]

another great video scott

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks bro! Have you tried my 12 week program?! muscularstrength.com/12-week-challenge-workouts

[@phantom2k10]

ScottHermanFitness i haven't,but the link doesn't work,it says can't connect to server

[@johnfrank1574]

What is leg day? Is it like wing day? I can get on board with that...

[@Lucky73678]

hi. i finally can do the squat all the way down 1 45lb plate and leg press 5plates controlled. but thats the ratio. the squat is damn difficult. highly appreciate your video. best in class.

[@ronki23]

Do deadlifts build quads more or hamstrings as you're not squatting to parallel when picking up the weight so I assume that's more quad dominance? I want to do both bodybuilding and powerlifting so I'm happy just doing 5x5 squats and 5x5 deadlifts to build leg mass and throw in 3 sets of calf raises

[@wpou007]

Great information..

[@dzoni97a]

new haircut is great bro

[@Jpopguin]

When was the last time you pr'd on squat?

[@user-rz9jw2pt6x]

Do these foot positions carry over to the hack squat as well?

[@Iamolivialondon]

helpful, short and sweet. thanks

[@juanpablogonzalez1999]

I'm going to use this knowledge you share on my next leg day, definitely!!! Thanks a lot man!! I do want to ask how to target the vastus intermedius??

[@SumitSharma-qd6pl]

How many sets of Squats do you recommend? And How many sets in total for Leg Day?

[@Mars30999]

you should do a video on EMS'

[@idriesmoore9413]

Bigger outer quads, in/close~Bigger inner quads out/wide, got it! Awesome!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Yup! Just do opposites!!

[@redjoker2497]

awesome video bro

[@hugorivas486]

hi Scott! i have a quick question...It is okay train 5 days and hit 4-6 muscles every day? and make 3 exercises and 3 series each muscle?

[@copernicus99]

Ditch the barbell squats (a highly technical, and risky exercise). Just do leg press and glute ham raises. That's really all you need for big, well-developed legs.
