What is the best exercise for quad development? - Ft. Lee Priest!

[@klaustheduck7703]

'I used to train legs with Tom Platz'. I think that says it all Lee. I'll bring a bucket on my next leg workout.

[@kikoveneno1]

A diaper too.

[@tonyK_72]

Listening to Lee always gives me a giggle. What a bloke! Brilliant.

[@Witham1836]

You just can’t get any better advice than Lee Priest. Fucken legend!

[@user-he4ef9br7z]

Leg day in 2 hours. I needed this.

[@C25sixset]

lmao mb for digging your comment out but me too lol

[@jasongarnett9615]

Out of all bodybuilders I really must say lee has to be one of the best anyone should listen to he doesn’t give wrong advice about training and straight to the point on how you train

[@maratonlegendelenemirei3352]

Lee, Dorian Yates and the late great John Meadows!!!

[@ColonelJohnmatrix1000]

What an incredible video. Lee Priest is a legend. Thank you for the video❤

[@Calrima]

I love it when you Lee teaches us! Thank you, Mr. priest

[@tanknstein1027]

One of my favorite bodybuilders of all time. Glad I found u on KZbin Lee 💪🏼

[@jayshomer4191]

That was a classic, I really enjoyed that one ! Lee’s the best 😂

[@vocalg1]

Thanks for the info about leg extensions and leaning all the way back. I will have to try that it, sounds like a real good one.

[@ebroydell]

OMG Lee explained that pain so well I got a cramp in my leg watching this, it was that real.

[@TS50ER]

Why Lee wasn't asked in appear in one of the Mad Max movies is beyond me.

[@Satarnoch]

He looks too crazy

[@jparks6544]

He was the model for the first Hulk movie. He stripped naked at ILM and did a photo shoot. I still have all the photos. Nope, will not share them.

[@danielmontgomery6234]

I've been lifting for 25 years and following Lee the entire time. Same height makes his exercises almost always fit me perfectly as well. I have yet to find an old-fashioned lying leg extension but I do put the seat all the way back to get as close as I can to the same motion and it works... it hurts like hell he's right but it works.

[@sambenyamen5935]

Love your work mate I’ll give this one a go

[@diowil1]

Glad to see you Lee Priest. You gave significant meaning to the sport. Appreciate you always.

[@delazzuro]

The best training advice is always forthcoming from this man.

[@FloridaManMatty]

Never seen Lee stay on topic with this supreme Dad energy. More like this, please.

[@dominicpaul1]

Great tip on the lying extension, thanks Lee 🙂👍

[@mazzaccc]

Brilliant Lee. Thank you mate...

[@noyolabassist]

I’ve used this same technique with preacher curls for years. 💪

[@albiecho03]

this page is gold how did i just now find this

[@LyndenRandles]

Absolutely savage!! Huge fan of Lee and also Tom the quadfather. Followed them both back in the day when I was younger. I do absolutely love Lee's no bs approach 👌🏻

[@SuperSteven1969]

great tips Lee...!👍🙂

[@americanthaiboxer7224]

Love the shirt, Lee! Much love from the U.S. 🤝

[@Allcampsfitness]

I’ll do that on my next leg day! Thank you sir!

[@NoQuarter01]

It’s crazy how Lee is still jacked and in seemingly good health all these years later! You see a bunch of the greats looking all shriveled up and tiny now. Lees arms are still so thick it’s mind boggling. Like PopEye lol

[@chrisweidner4768]

Best training of my life was while living in Vietnam. 90 degrees with 90 degree humidity. No air conditioning. Bliss. Always have time for Lee. The GOAT.

[@BatmanBoss]

Sounds like fun!

[@Ollie-s7x]

Some really good videos from Lee recently

[@Reddog08]

Lee is an absolute legend.

[@vladimirciric519]

Thanks Lee. By all logic, the way Platz trained legs with maximum stretch as in sissy squats one would think his knees would’ve exploded long ago yet he developed the best legs ever. Or Arnold doing db chest flys with a deep stretch or Gironda style dip and never tore pecs but developed the best pecs ever

[@SomeBodyIUsedToKnow8]

That’s just 2 people with great leg and chest genetics, respectively.

[@spec24]

That's not by all logic. That's by dumb ass old wives tales that were believed for decades.

[@user-he4ef9br7z]

Research repeatedly shows that the stretch is super hypertrophic and sissy squats are literally used for knee rehab.

[@lawdog369]

Look into the channel Knees over toes guy. He rehabbed his knees and is dunking basketballs doing movements like that we were told were bad.

[@daneyraju8433]

Lee pls do a video on deltoids especially rear delts...how to isolate and pump it for maximum growth 🔥

[@timkivits9511]

Hero! i love this exercise :D!

[@Paul-qq7mh]

Nice touch with the temperature report.

[@semyono11783]

In case you don’t hear it, we all appreciate you Lee. Not alot of pros want to disclose secrets like this unless they’re getting paid. Thank you 🙏

[@NDemanuele1]

You Pros know the tricks of the trade! Awesome video. What I'm curious to know from your knowledge Lee, is what you think of an exercise such as the Bulgarian Split Squat? Do you think it's an effective mass builder? I've been doing this exercise for a few years and mainly use it for conditioning. I'm an avid Mountain Biker and notice that I have more power on climbs and think it's the Bulgarians that made the difference. I'm older, in my 50s, and back in the day I primarily did Squats/leg press/Hacks and none of these exercises made a difference as the Bulgarians did with my riding. Would be interesting to get your thoughts on this exercise. Thanks!

[@dalegribble4357]

Lee #1

[@ForeverFlexing]

Good stuff! looking forward to the rest!

[@williamperaza9479]

this guy is a machine

[@Gfors85]

wonderful video, Lee is like Steve Irvin with training xD This is the guy that made Tom Platz scream when watching Lees triceps. Epic photo of 2 legends.

[@Pizo53]

Love this content and your delivery! You are insanely entertaining! Brutally honest! I learned a ton here. I have a much better feeling on what high intensity really means. Thanks, Lee!

[@leelunk8235]

I AGREE LEG EXTENSIONS FOR ME

I've seen Tom do these on videos, So I'm down with this gonna give it the way, today. Definitely fell in this.💪👑💪👑💪💪

[@Kainthemain]

great tips!

[@patrickmurphy5842]

I do leg extensions pre exhaust , with drop sets prior to belt squat and leg press

[@firstnamelastname3558]

That’s good. You’re pre-exhausting the quads. Extensions before squats is the way to go.

[@user-he4ef9br7z]

I do the opposite. Leg extension with heavy weights isn't good for long term knee health. I'd rather come to the leg extension exhausted.

[@firstnamelastname3558]

@@user-he4ef9br7z , most are afraid to do extensions because their ego interferes and makes them believe they’ll be weaker on squats. We can’t have people watching me squat and see I’m weaker.

[@dguitar3831]

​@@firstnamelastname3558Exactly! And leg extensions are a 10/10 quad exercise, Vs squat which is a 5 at best! People get swallowed up by gym dogma unfortunately, I did for years

[@coach.dave.lingner]

That was a good informative video.

[@DEUltra82]

Aside from Lee, I've followed john meadows for a while and he talked about the importance of leg extensions as well. I put it into practice and they aren't lying. I hate to love this exercise.

[@mazesire]

This is also the way I train , I love this torture ❤🎉😊

[@Outre7]

Lee is a legend..

[@sukoshikanatomo]

"When they're screamin and yellin and cursin, then what you do is..."

[@franciscrocombe]

I usually start leg extensions. I pyramid up the stack. Squats, leg press, hams, deadlifts, calfs.

[@RealAmericanPatriot76]

Thanks for repping the shirt Lee - GOAT

[@BMO_Creative]

LOL... The Priest is so right! He and Platz made leg extensions torture! LOL

[@Uaintfirsturlast]

Word of caution don’t go too heavy when doing one leg extensions …tore my meniscus in 2002 was never the same

[@shrexyboi1850]

How heavy were you going?

[@spec24]

Chances are it wasn't the weight, but the way you were doing it. Probably busy throwing the weight around rather than following good form. The fact that you went "too heavy" is prima facia evidence.

[@davepark1827]

Lee do you have any advice for me, i broke my left tibial plateau a few years ago, not only did i lose mobility in my left knee but my left leg is half the size of my right leg. What can i do to grow my injured leg??

[@EnigmaticAnamoly]

Can the same prinicples be applied to something like leg curls for hamstring development?

[@snakepliskin2297]

I've got a torn hip labrum and doing anything legs is a f nightmare. Even with rehab work it's hard and no surgeon offers guarantees it's shit

If you have bad knees these are devastating they do more harm then good because they put a strain on your knees. My orthopedic doctor says to stay clear away from these.

[@jebwaldoharrilal]

Bloody hell Lee 😳 😆

[@tipoftheiceberg7034]

like a cold beer in a warm sea of piss, thank Lee, content without the bollox 🤙

[@Joescuderia]

Lee deserved to be Mr Olimpia at least once.

[@the_notorious_bas]

I think training with The Platz is already the best quad exercise.

[@andrew98115wl]

Before watching, I'm going to say front squats but don't fully extend the legs, just keep the tension on the quads.

[@roninkoans6065]

I think this dude wins being the Australian with the most American flags.

[@WAYNEMODELBUILDER]

Not sure where to post a question but here goes. I’m the older generation and always do the 6 to 8 reps, why is everyone now saying 12 to 15 or even more? Is 6 to 8 not the way to go anymore? What’s your thoughts Lee?

[@daniellovesosrs]

Common knowledge says reps for size weight for strength. Most old school and new school body builders train for reps above 10

[@silatguy]

I think both are great. I tend to do about 12-20 for accessories but that's just personal preference. I also feel like there would be no point for stronger people to do 300lb leg extensions for 6-8 or some other isolation exercises it seems a little silly

[@WAYNEMODELBUILDER]

@@silatguy the only reason I asked was years ago ( I’m old now 🤣) but still occasionally train… I only ever did 6 to 8 reps for years and years and years. Since switching over to all the new KZbin so called professionals I fabled with the 10 plus reps. In all honesty I definitely had my results in the 6 to 8 reps max . Now I’m 52 years old and trained since I was 18, as I say only as a hobby nothing professional and took the odd few years off in between due to family ect but even so I like to think I know a bit about training and I’m convinced 6 to 8 is best which is why I can’t understand all this KZbin stuff these days about higher reps but hey what do I know? Lol hence I thought I’d ask as I thought at one stage Lee only ever did 6 to 8 to build his size too? Cheers for the replies 👍

[@spec24]

The rep range for muscular growth is actually about 6-30. That's a huge range. The optimum number, in actuality, is what YOU like to do. Because if you're not into your set, or each rep, you're not going to get any growth. I find that if I train my legs above 10 reps per set I get next to no growth. Me legs were at their largest doing sets of 6. And that generally involved starting with a light weight, for 6 reps, and then increasing the weight each set but doing no more than 6 reps each set. Do 5-6 total sets. But that was me. Other people benefit greatly from doing lots of reps.

[@WAYNEMODELBUILDER]

@@spec24 actually i totally agree, just do the rep range uou personally enjoy and see results from, personally I don’t like anything above 10 reps I think for me 8 is my sweet spot. All this 12+ just doesn’t do it for me

[@johnnyaxelsson6666]

Thats tom platz style💪lee share room whit tom in the old days.. They training togheter... So i Belive it got lee to...no one training so hard as platz did... You think you die.. Thats the first set.. Just imagnine.. Lee is a hard trainer to.. Thats of for him👍🙏🧙‍♂️

Gotta agree, leg extensions are cracked for the quads. That 14th/15th rep and they're like "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck"

Tom Platz has said he only trained legs every 2 weeks. And he only squatted every 4 weeks.

[@LexA-zn6bv]

[@bencain7168]

Lee what about reverse leg extensions for your hamstrings and your glutes. Is that a good exercise for that or do you think those are for girls lol. Or would dips with dumbbells work better. I would love to know your Lee.

[@matthewboik421]

@1:00 ...yep lol

[@trapps75]

Leg extensions one of the best as long u dont go all the way up and don't lock out don't go all the way down 80% of movement if u can lay down like he did even better hips and torso do not get involved

[@HammerTho]

Haha.. Fcknn awesome

[@henrycooper4213]

The problem is I’m still training this way and still can’t walk or sit down for 6 days then it’s time for another leg day. It really impacts my hiit workouts, runs and even daily life just don’t feel your strongest self if you’re in pain all the time. Surely there’s another way? I go high rep squats as well 20-30 reps 100kg 5 sets at 70kg Bodyweight as my first exercise.

[@stevecheshire5046]

As your body conditions and adapts to the stress of the exercise, you won't be sore for 6 days. Good nutrition and adequate rest/sleep will also speed recovery. Just listen to your body.
