on leg extensions, lock the toes upwards to hit the head of the quads better and more contraction. If you don't do it this way, you will feel the pump just in the middle of the leg and close to the waist.
If you haven't one I'm sure your gym wouldn't mind if you bought one and put it in there so you could use it just some good advice everyone will like you for it be a sport not a killjoy just think how you would feel knowing your gym has one
My friend I watch one of your videos every single day before a workout, even if I've seen it already. That goowwlden voice pumps me and motivates me for the workout ;-)
OK I SERIOUSLY BEILIEVE THAT IF THIS GUY HERE PUTS ON 30 MORE POUNDS OF QUALITY MUSCLE , HE DOES HAVE THE BEST DAM GENETICS IN BODYBUILDING TODAY AND WOULD WIN ALMOST ANY SHOW IF HE CAME IN AT PEAK. THIS GUY HAS TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL
Hi Wisley the calf press is the modern equivalent of the donkey calf raise that is because your body is not in a straight line from the shoulders down but in a L shape so to speak a similar position to a donkey calf raise because you have a belt squat I have a suggestion for you to try which I'm sure you will be delighted with the results it involves you performing three exercises a set of lying leg curl with toes-pointed, immediately followed by a set of donkey calf raises on the belt squat, immediately followed by a set of standing calf raises on the belt squat without any rest between the three exercises this tri-set for the lower-legs is a very productive one it helps in two ways as you are activating two Joints with the choice of exercises one being the knee joint the other being the ankle joint you could also include seated calf raises and tibia raises for a complete lower-leg schedule give the schedule a go and let me know what you think of it stay safe and healthy
Lookin good! Looks like you added some quality size in places needed, bring the insane conditioning we all know you can & shock the world of bodybuilding! Will be rooting for you brotha!
Time under tension with MAXIMUM weight is the KEY to the leg press with a pause at the top without locking out 15-20 reps!!! 90-120 seconds slow controlled movements Full Range Of Motion using a GOB pad or towel in your lumbar not allowing it to shift
Hit your adductors more. When you do leg curls, do not lock out on the bottom. Keep the tension on those hamstrings. Superset this with a stiff legged deadlift.
I surprised you don’t do a quad/glute ham split. Especially if hams are your weakest feature and you focus more on quads with your compound movements, you’d be able to shred the muscle fibers while still getting in 2 pumps on legs per week. Also, why don’t you utilize RDL’s?? I love your videos man
He's definitely got good potential just his legs really let him down the most he's got an Arnold sort of structure even Arnold didn't have great legs come to think of
Hee Wesley, De lying leg curl is ook de oefening waarbij je de hamstrings zo kort mogelijk maakt. Draait dus ook vooral om de contraction, vergelijkbaar met de leg extension naar mijn mening. Seated leg curls en deadlift variaties zijn gericht op de stretch (zoals je weet).
Toes in, and toes out with a pause at the TOP of the movement “on leg curls” also RACK PULLS heavy after a leg curl pre-exhaust is best for upper hamstrings development
Awesome video. Wesley - out of interest, have you given any thought to direct neck training? You have (in addition to Olympian physique), magnificent traps, and a thicker neck might enhance them further? I know there’s a split in the BB community on this topic (I’m pro neck training and think it looks better!), and interested to hear your thoughts :)
Thoughts on going to Open bringing a classic flow? You know like a mid 90’s-esque look. I dont think anyone has done that yet; Brought a classic vibe to open.
Leg extensions are contributing to giving your legs a "blocky" look at the insertions of the knee. Do sissy squats instead to remedy. This will improve the sweep although the damage has been done due to improper weak point target exerxises, i.e just like your boulder shoulders. As a side note you also need to work extra hard on lowering your lower lats at the insertions, do more seated and T-bar rows. Edit: Almost forgot... your neck muscles are lagging. It makes your head seems like its floating in the air by itself when viewed from some angles. Work on your sternonocleidomastoid muscles.
@@jakescakes , some of you don't have a clue. Wesley will never win the Olympia no matter how hard he tries. His body structure is not Olympia title winner material. His over developed shoulders offset his arms balance making them look like spaghetti arms. And yet he stubbornly keeps training them. His quads insertions at the knee are too blocky. His lats insertions are too high. Unfortunately in his case its "Genetics".
The belt squat machine seems very hard on your back to me. Unfortulately, I cannot train squat anymore because of a back injury. A vertebrae has permanently slipped 0,7 cm. Yes, the whole vertebrae, not just a disk.... Due to very heavy squats and a very curved back. Anyways, it seems like all the weight is pressing down on the lower back with the belt and does this not put a tremendous preasure on the lower back, pushing the spinal cord inwards... ?
