The ONLY 3 Exercises You NEED to Grow Bigger Legs (Even If You HATE Training Legs) 

My top exercises for leg day: 1. Bench press 2. Bicep curls 3. Lateral raises 😂😂😂

This appeared 3 hrs before I hit legs... sign

I love leg day. Its the day after or two that I hate. 😭

0:28 (high bar squat), 3:31 (Romanian Deadlift), 6:27 (Hip Thrust), 8:24 (Calf Raise)

I love leg day but I almost always pass out after

Rock solid info! Like the vid and give my dude a boost!

Barbell squats Bulgarian split squats Dumbbell Romanian dead lift

Awesome workout like a true athletic bodybuilder

Thank you for the great videos man

your hair looks glorious dude .

Hack squat goated mate 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 👊 I actually like leg curls facing down 😂 for hamstring too. YOUhave helped confirm a lot of my suspicions so far u da best

Great demonstrations and explanations! Nevertheless, here's what's missing in case you're trying to *fully* develop two of the three leg muscles--the quads and hamstrings--targeted in this video: Quads: In order to hit ALL four muscles, you'll need something like a leg extension, sissy squat, or reverse Nordic curl. If the leg extension, preferably set it up with the seatback set as far back as comfortable for your body to maximize the stretch. Bonus: take at least one of your sets to (or near) complete failure by continuing at long-length partials when you can no longer perform a full extension. (To be fair, he did allude to the fact that the squat will not hit the rec-fem muscle but nevertheless did not include a solution in his list of these "only" exercises you need...) Hamstrings: In order to hit ALL three muscles, you'll need something that also flexes your hammie at the knee. For example, a Nordic curl or some kind of hamstring curl machine, either seated or lying. Seated may promote more hypertrophy because of the emphasis on the lengthened+stretched component. TylerPath has a rationale for choosing the hip thrust for direct glute work---I won't argue with it. In my opinion, however, hip thrusts for glute focus are better left for intermediate-to-advanced programs that require additional direct glute volume after having included/exhausted other options especially with a *lengthened* focus. (Going deep in the squat with good form as TylerPath demonstrates, btw, is a pretty decent glute growth stimulus when you're still a beginner-to-intermediate!) Better options to hit before going to the hip thrusts could include deep, far-reaching walking lunges with controlled eccentrics and momentary pauses in the deep stretch. Or front-foot-elevated stationary lunges (such as on a Smith Machine for stability). Rear-foot-elevated can work as well. Or else go very deep on a leg press with the seatback rather high and your feet placed higher up on the foot plate. Bonus: use exclusively long-length partials and don't bother locking out your knees to keep the emphasis on the glutes. TP also includes calves as the *secret* 4th needed exercise---I agree for both aesthetics and the overall health/stability of your leg musculature. So, overall, if I myself were to come up with a list of "the fewest number of exercises *needed*..." it would be 6, not 3... 1. Squat or leg press (quads without the rec-fem, and indirect work on many other muscles) 2. RDL/SLDL (Some of the hams as well as some glutes and others) 3. Lunges (walking, FFE, or RFE...for glutes and others) or, ...sure..., some hip thrusts... 4. Ham curl movement 5. Leg extensions, Sissy Squats, or Reverse Nordic Curls 6. Any kind of straight (or nearly straight) extension/raise movement for the calves

Strengthening your calves is SO IMPORTANT especially if you do any sport/activities that involve feet impact(i.e basketball, football, soccer, plyometrics, etc.)

This. Is. The. Best. DL. Advice. Ever.

Hey Tyler! Love the videos bro! Quick Question, how many minutes do you Personally spend on your Upper days & Lower days usually?

Replace deadlift with leg curl and you got a great leg day

Nice, I'm already doing this on my leg days. I also add in Leg extension just for that extra burn (and pain 😂)

(Hack/pendulum) squat (Single leg) Leg extension Seated leg curl Romanian deadlift Standing calf raises You're welcome

9:20 can we talk about the gym shoes though xD

One key point I would like to add @ 0:32 is to not stick your elbows out like that. Doing so will cause your torso to tilt forward. Pinch your shoulder blades together and bring them down and think about touching your triceps to your lats. This will provide for a more solid base to carry the weight.

Thoughts on just using isolation machines like quad extension machine, calve raise machine and hamstring curl?

Bro has an epic sleeper build 💪🏻 😅

And me start with sumo squats then smith machine squats, leg extension, leg curl and finish with both seated and standing calf raises as straight, pointed out and pointed in toe positions

I saw one of your video in which your finger broke. I had same injury. Please let me know when did you heal properly and was ready to go back to gym

Uh oh, Renaissance Periodization Dr.Mike might have something to say about the Hip Thrusts 🤣

What about using dumbell instead of barbell for squat, for beginners.

Squat, Hip Hinge, Lunge is all you need to train for functional legs

Squats deadlfts and lunges are my favorite.

Squat, deadlift and RDL

I do: Squat Lunge Deadlift Hip Extensions Bridge Calf Raises and tibialis raises

Squat and Deadlift, got it. Nobody needs to hip thrust

getting nattys on the map!

Calf raises, seated hamstring curls, leg extensions, and hip thrusts are my staples 🫡

I actually think the bulgarian split squat is the best overall leg exercise, and I'm kind of surprised you left that one out. Easier to setup than barbell (wont heavily load your spine either), and it absolutely murders your legs. Hits virtually every leg muscle group except maybe the calves. I love it just because I dont need a squat rack, just grab dummbells and off you go

I like 3 + forth. Doesn't seem like as much. FINE! I'll do legs not often... Thanks Tyler!

I’m lucky to have a pendulum squat at my gym so that’s usually my go-to

I love training legs in fact i do upper lower splits for 4 days a week and i can go heavy by giving proper rest in between to my body.

You can definitely go deeper on those RDL's without compromising your form. Also limiting your leg workout to only 3 movements and saying they're the only ones you need is silly. The RDL doesn't hit the entire hamstring, you need a knee flexion variation. And you even said it yourself, the squat doesn't hit the rec fem all that well. So a leg extension would be appropriate. Also although the squat can potentially stimulate the adductors, it's not enough to build bulk from the front view, a hip adduction isolation would be good to add. And to balance that, a hip abduction would compliment that. It's important to move in as many planes of motion & get strong in them as possible to avoid potential overuse injuries. And not only that, the leg development would be superior

What about using a hex bar for deadlift, is it roughly the same? I just feel more comfortable using the hex bar

now imagine if u ate more and lifted heavier or with more intensity on these great selection of excercises..

Any tips on how to stop foot pain when doing standing calf raises?

On Saturday I hit legs with high weight but, legs doesn't feel sourness

Watching before I go to the gym for Leg day 💀

Big advice for leg day haters, change your program up to not have a full leg day! My program (inspired by jeff nippards high volume full body program) has me doing 1 leg exercise each day. At some point the doms get less and it doesnt bother you anymore in the next training. So i train backsquat on day 1, hack squat on day 2, rdls on day 3, leg extentions on day 4 and hamstring curls on day 5

What I usually do in leg day Weight Squats, lunges, leg press, leg curl, hamstring curl, calf raise. Man I hate lunges.

Is it a good idea to do squats and dl's on the same day?

I hate squats so so much

Needed bigger intention preciously going into the sky..

What's a comfortable exercise for a beginner doing upper body like a upside-down dorito?

@tylerpath study shown there is basicly no benefit of doing bent knee calf raises as the sraigth one grow the soleus just as much.

I actually like leg day, but i always puke during or after to. So i need to tone down the intensity.

Like to see a video of you and Chao

My personal recommendation: mountain biking, ice hockey and calf raises. Those three (hockey in particular) got me pretty decent legs with minimal thought about building legs.

mario rios would be proud.

Hi Tyler I seen you Jubilee you where the cutest one there 🥰 Nice legs btw when do they open ☺

Squat without the buttwink, protect your lower spine

Is it comfortable wearing NB 550s during leg days?

❤

I literally feel nothing in my glutes when doing hip thrusts. I feel it in my quads intensely. Clearly, I am doing something wrong, but no one has been able to explain to me what.

The only 3 exercises if you hate legs. Proceeds to do the exercises I hate most

mate i want smaller legs T-T how do i slim my legs down?

No face day ?

How about the sus machines? (adductors & abductors)

i have no traps =(

My legs are nice but as much as i love my glutes i wish i didn’t have that much cake lol

Bro didn't even gave f about beginners💀

Always skip leg day

4 sec ago is crazy

No wonder you forgot the calves 🤣

Always fun to see a 20 year old kid saying this is what you need😂

I have not watched the video and I bet is Squat, RDL, hip trust

And don't forget to buy my merch and my workout programs!!

What about the calves 😭 Just finished the video 😌

He’s not very annoying, is he…

i saw this guy at the gym lately. bruh fcking freak upper body. but when you look at his legs. you get second hand embarrassment.

So basically this video is promoting another video with the actual in depth info, and a double ad, nice

❤
