The Perfect Science Based Leg Workout For Maximal Quad Gains

4:56. Totally agree, but also therapeutic mentally. My mental health is tied to my training as much as my physical health.

Thanks a lot, Eric! Legs are always difficult, and you are very accessible in telling difficult topics. Cool!

BEST type of video, one of the BEST content creators out here, much aprecciate for you, your work and your channel Please do more!

[@jozefkovalcin199]

Would love to see your ab routine. Some science based exercises is exactly what I would appreciate.

[@filouriip]

any dragon flag variation is basicly the best exercice for abs by a huge margin

[@jozefkovalcin199]

@@filouriip no matter which variation i do all I feel and get pumped is upper abs and get no lower activation. And when doing any type of leg raises I can never achieve ab failure before other supportive muscle groups. Thats why I'm interested in what Eric is doing.

[@sicitachi]

@@jozefkovalcin199 Check out the "reverse squat" by Kneesovertoesguy, may be best exercise for low abs

New Janicki video? Sweet, I hadn't heard the word acute 150 times today.

[@jayfitjordan]

Hey Eric, I'd love to know your thoughts on doing the reverse nordic instead of machine leg extensions. I believe the stretch is better than what you can get with yoga blocks on a machine leg extension and it's easier to setup. You just have to keep your glutes flexed in order to get a full stretch of the quads. You can use a cable attachment as a counter-weight if you're unable to do them unassisted and progress from there. Thank you for another thoughtful and fantastic video. I can't weight to try the elevated smith split squat tomorrow!

[@DeepakKhoenie]

Really incredible physique Eric, your quads are insanely big. That range of motion on the leg press is also sick💪🏽 leg day tomorrow and will definitely try to get that range of motion 🎉 are you ever going to compete again?

[@MrJustin3579]

You talked briefly about ankle mobility, lifting shoes, etc but can you explain a bit more in detail why you are letting your heels come up off the plate? And it looks like your heels are coming up pretty early in the movement too. I feel like I have heard both you and Dr Mike talk about the importance of keeping your feett flat throughout the press

[@jeffy911]

I tried your leg presses with Nick Walker's foot placement. Super wide stance with toes way out. Freaky pump, all in my quads. Try it.

[@freshprince512]

Janicki likes the word “vector”

[@stewsview5164]

About to start a new meso with a change in some exercises. I will drop the weight and slow the pace the way you are doing here. I do the stretch part, I just need to slow it down way more and do more control on the eccentric. If you can do a video on how to target and grow specifically larger vastus lateralis that would be amazing. Mine is stubborn and wont get bigger. =(

[@jason1666]

I love this video and your knowledge! You might be the first bodybuilder who's body I've actually looked at in awe and respect, as someone not coming from the gym world. But I really gotta ask because it makes me question your advice... How can bodybuilders talk about keeping themselves healthy for the long run of going to the gym when they're on steroids? Doesn't that contradict longevity and healthiness when theres this glaring "well I'm super healthy in every respect except this one thing I do which has profound negative effects to my long term health" elephant in the room? I guess we all make our choices for what we love in life, and maybe your fitness lifestyle has you healthier long term even on steroids than I would be long term while fat and sedentary. But that then begs the question: if I get myself in shape and keep training, why don't I just take a small amount of steroids since I'd still be healthier long term than I would've been had I stayed fat and sedentary? It's like even though you have such a wealth of knowledge and the mindset of a champion, you're still implicitly promoting steroid use because any success you have is happening while on it. I know it doesn't negate your accomplishments but it's a large benefactor to them

I think it is the best and clever way to train really!!! Like the strenght, flexibility and musculature you show us… it is the proof it REALLY WORK!! Congratulations from FRANCE

[@brucewaynebanner482]

I squatted my normal routine bout four weeks ago. My knees been killing me since. Idk y. Never had that before. I don’t think anything tore but they def still hurt. I could see me putting my feet down that low but f it. Ima try it

[@druid5561]

My outside knee pops when doing squats, with knee sleeves it’s like my IT band pops outside of my calf. What do I do? Even body weight squats

[@assafmatia9823]

great explanation! if i want to increase my squat strength, which of those 4 exercises you would recommend as first option as squat variation/accessory in a non squat day? second option , etc... thanks!!

[@rockyevans1584]

Generally, more squats will help. If they're a priority, you may want 3 different squat days with different variations a week. What's limiting your squat currently? You probably need to focus more on either quad strength or back strength, depending on the limiting factor. Very tough question to answer without a bunch of info exchanged and even video of your heavy singles

[@dr.candido4441]

Great video and tips brother

[@dawidpelc4775]

Thanks Eric gonna try your way of doing leg extensions on Fridays leg workout. Normally I do them to fast. Gonna lower the weights and do slower reps

[@zhortey]

No reason to, just adds extra fatigue. By lowering weight youre sacrificing resistance and therefore growth. As long as youre controlling reps on the eccentric you are fine

[@littlenerdyxalen]

I just love the information being presented. This man training his legs twice a week is insane for the girth he already has LOL Dudes not competing but looking bigger each month. Trust HIS process lol

[@sergiosinanis]

yoga blocks are great

[@jparks6544]

Add in some X-reps and you get even more intensity during the same set. Got me 25 lbs of muscle in 3 months.

[@druid5561]

Is this sarcasm? No one is gaining 25lbs of lean mass in the legs even on a huge cycle lol
