most non bullshit pure instructional video I have seen around. beats athelene x, buff dudes, yo Elliot and the rest. great stuff, man. wish u were my instructor.
@@bikin_rusuhbener4587 Like I'm all for people changing their appearance however they want... but his whole new aesthetic makes me feel uncomfortable. From the hair to the new skin color.
MY Q IS... WHEN DOING THE CALVE WORKOUT SHOULD MY HEELS TOUCH THE GROUND OR NOT? I ALREADY DO THIS EXERCISE ( 30 AT A TIME ) & TRUST ME IT BURNS LIKE 🔥!!! I TRIED SEEING IT IN YOUR VID, BUT CAMERA WASN'T FOCUSING IN ON FEET TO MUCH. IT'S HARD FOR ME TO DO 30 WITHOUT HEELS TOUCHING GROUND DUE TO BALANCE.
DAY 1 - LEG WORKOUT (GET LIKE MIKE) Squat No Weights Bulgarian Split Squat 3x12 (0:46) up SUPERSET (1:46) Front Squats 3x8 Back Squats 3x8 Dumbbell Leg Curl 3x8 (3:06) SUPERSET (3:56) Romanian Deadlifts 3x8 Step Ups 3x8 Dumbell Squats 4x10 (4:47) Walking Lunges 3x12 (5:31) Standing Calf Raises 1x30 (6:18) By no way a complete summary. Let me know your thoughts.
Hard to expect pro personal trainer's leg routine to be focused around leg extensions. Any quad movement is either a squat (conventional, goblet, even leg press is basicly just an inverted squat) or lunge (step-ups, lunges, bulgarian split squat) - not to mention lunge is a squat just with legs splited on the ground diffrently.
Bulgarian split squats 3x12 each leg, Front squats to back squats super set 1x8 front squat and after 5-10 seconds back squats to fail( heels elevated), lying dumbbell leg curls 5x10, Dead lifts superset with dumbbell step ups 1x10, heel elevated dumbbell squats 4x10 and for last set go until failure, walking lunges 2x12, standing calf raises 1x30 every ten raises hold at the top for 10 seconds and elevate the front of your foot by 2 inches to get the best stretch and you can also do this one leg at a time with dumbbells.
How do I set my reps? I just started lifting weights, I weight about 150 can seem to go below this number...my legs are firm but don't have that muscular look like yours ..yet and that's my goal this year. Plus I started watching what I eat.
Great workout Mike. To switch up leg routine, I have decided to focus on quads on one day and hamstrings on another as there are many exercises for each. Will this be a good idea or is it recommended to workout quads and hamstrings on the same day? anyone?
I do this. It is much more effective as I can dedicate Monday to focusing on Quads, and Thurday to focusing on Hams and Glutes. It is also less time consuming, better recovery and MORE GAINS!!!
I'm 51 and fit for my age ... I have degenerated lumbar discs which is ok when I do sitting down leg press as most of the weight bares down on my hip area and not pressing down on the spine.. for this reason I avoid the weight over my shoulders standing squats. However flexing my hips on sitting press does start my sciatica so can you advise on best exercise for maximum all over thighs workouts.. will the avoidance of standing bar squats slow my rate of leg growth . Cheers Daz
The lying dumbbell leg curl... I have tried six ways from Sunday to do this. I can’t do it to save my life. I haven’t even gotten the dumbbell off the ground yet. :-)
First of all; nice workout and respects! But as a 4 years experienced fitness guy i must say much of these exercises are so hard to fully appicable in terms of keeping the proper form. So to me, it's way out to be a routine and the video emphasises "time under tension prinsiple" in every aspect, thanks #fitmedia
+Mike Thurston I didn't think of using straps for my front squat. I usually placed the bar on my shoulder and cross my arms to keep it up. It usually left my front Deltoids sore. Thanks for that tip man. I have 27 inch thighs but I want to shrink them to 22. What kind of leg workout can I try?
This is very good form and information. (side note: I've had those pro combat "shorts" since launch, they are underwear/undergarments, not outer shorts...still have 2 pairs.)
Hi Mike, great video. Just one thing... on romenian dead lift, you really should keep your head aligned looking down, this way you prevent a dorsal injury
