I projectile vomited outside my gym after this. Definitely the best leg workout I've ever done. And no I'm not lying, I literally was sick to my stomach. Might have pushed myself a bit too hard but hey, no pain no gain right?
modify this workout. Instead of doing the machines for each body part add them towards the middle to end of your workout. For me at least, I find machines to fatigue me quicker than free weights.
You guys need to change your editing style or get a new editor. It's always terrible. Stop putting so much B rolls and close ups before we could actually see the movement done in full range of motion. Damn it
I was sold when he showed how he stretched out in between exercises. A lot of guys don’t care for mobility or flexibility, they just care about building muscle. Steve really knows what he’s doing and how to look after his body, very impressed
"Go through this pain and the rest of the day everything it all seems easy" xD dude, after that intense workout, the only body part you'd move is your head!
Tried several programmes for legs but yours is the best programme adapted for me - can see the results after 3 weeks but the first week I could not even walk and perform my other exercices
Straight leg dead lift puts more emphasis on your hamstrings. Having your knees give a slight bend and pushing your hips back as you lower the weight, it gives some nice work in the hammies. Be sure to keep the weight on the heels.
3:03 - "Never sacrifice your form". Best advice ever. I have paid the price a number of times in the past for not heeding these words in bills paid to my physio and set backs in my fitness training due to injury. :P
I see why you won so many times. You don't look stiff and robotic like 90% of these guys youtube. Also, too many have a generic body-in-a-box look. Your look is very natural, full, and flexible.
A few things. You should be doing squats(front or back) first, because this is the most taxing leg lift. Second, when do a standing or lying leg curl, what is the purpose of then doing a seated leg curl? The leg extension/jump squat superset is not bad idea, but doing walking lunges with weights would be far more effective. Also you should finish the leg workout with calf raises, either standing or seated. While your calf's are being utilized in some of these other exercises, the calf raise is essential if you really want them to look big and developed. A good workout nonetheless, but I believe this is designed more for beginners.
I love how they couldn't just stick to the same camera angle throughout even one of his seated leg curl reps so we could get a good perspective of his rom
true,but if you too down you might bulk up your ass and might injure your lower back,if you parallel they might hit your quads but wont give some skinny guys a defined glutes,its on your bodytypes,same goes for leg press,there's no point in following the plan exactly,we should learn to modify it as per our preferences
I like these old videos more than the ones from swoldier nation. You look more serious and go over details that you skip on more recent videos. Maybe it's about the gums you are now eating compulsively ;P.
Thats the point. He is getting paid here to be detailed about the workout. In his own channel he is basically giving highlights with most of the detail being saved for those that follow him
someone pls help I watch these video once a day for my workout sometimes i even watch 2 in one day (arm video in morning and legs video at night) but I still don't see any results I am still overweight and not strong like Steve Cook. Pls help
Dude you need to watch once in the afternoon too and maybe consider hitting the gym but that just maybe a waste of time. Research shows that watching workout videos 3 times daily greatly enhances muscle growth. This is further supported by testimonies from Mr. Universes where during the last month leading to their competition they just binge watch RU-vid workout videos. Now you can't get anymore conclusive evidence than that so I suggest you get very comfortable with these videos.
Doing dl's / squats with running shoes, static streching between the sets, "always keeping the belt on" lol. You should change the title to "How not to work out legs" lol.
daaamn :O good workouts in this vid but don't have the most equipment in the gym :/ finished with traps,biceps,chest etc..i gotta do this :/ ..but how with no most of the equipment
at first i really don't like doing the front squats because im not yet comfortable doing it. but as i practiced it with lightweights, i already got the hang of it. i can go heavy with it. doing it, is not like up and down. there's some kind of angle you have to imagine in your mind when doing it, it's like when you go down, and up, you launch 90 degrees. i don't know how to explain it very thoroughly, but im sure you already know what im saying for those who doing front squats
Jasper Falsario What I mean.. is that you cant hide muscular imbalances/weaknesses with the front squat, if your back gives... leg/glute /core/ most times you can muscle it out in the back squat, but the front squat, if you usually will end up bailing the weight? do you know what I mean? There's more upper body activation I guess, if shits messed.. Chances are you wont make the lift.
I have a lower lumbar injury and I've been told to not do deadliest or heavy back squats (I know this workout has front squats, just saying.) Is there an alternative I can do to straight leg deadlifts? I don't want to aggravate my lower back.
Nate Shoemaker Nice! Well, just a suggestion, state that in the video to clarify that to avoid in confusion. Being not only a primary muscle of the legs, but of the body being it's used a lot on a daily basis. Actually because of that, it can even be trained several times a week, just like abs. Also, I don't see calves being incorporated in other videos... There's many ways to do them and some key points from such a pro as Steve could sure help. Just my humble 2 cents! But again, great video, thanks!
Okay i finish it today,im fckng tired and sweat,i can't fckng walk straight im on the floor and i cant stand up,you know whats awesome? I can't attend to my cousins birthday im fcking dead right now,i've been sitting here for 40 minutes in the gym almost an hour,im late what the heck am i thingking and im hungry wtf.
