TOP 5 Quad training mistakes 

A must!

Yeah but if the training partners is not the same lv i am,how i gonna train with him,need a training partner with almost the same lv

MrKratosin ideally someone that trains harder!

Yeee

😂 thanks!

@@HypertrophyCoach :) but seriously, as a relatively early intermediate (3 yrs training intelligently), your info on biomechanics is super enlightening

Mark Stubbs yes. Or a safety bar squat

Hypertrophy Coach thanks mate. Appreciate your content and personal touch. Legend mate.

For calves the key is not to bounce on the Achilles tendon, it's very strong and can take over and you end up not using the muscle belt effectively. So just go slow into a good stretch at the bottom and really feel the calves do the work. I had stick thin calves until I slowed down and really squeezed the muscle at the top. work 3 times a week to bring up.

There was a video where he puts dana l bailey through a back workout with a ton of exercises. You can kind figure out which ones are for what. search dana and hypertrophy coach

Extending sets with clusters and drop sets can be a good option

Glad to hear that 👊

The only time I’m really for this is if someone has a very hard time feeling their quads on “big” lifts. Otherwise I think it just takes away from output

All depends on the goal as he said. If you want to bring up your legs, you are better off focussing on hypertrophy, but training for hypertrophy still means getting stronger, just that you gotta get stronger on the proper exercises/proper execution of exercises for your goal, and doing it in a 5-30rep range. For example I have really long femurs, so if I wanted to target quads with a squat I'd need to use a heel elevation to get more range of motion at my knees, and I'd do it with 6-12 reps mostly. But I would definitely try to get stronger in that rep range.

@@nielsottens8046 Trust me bro I understand. I guess I've been wanting to hit this goal of 500 lbs on back squat then focus on bringing up these twigs so I can be more proportioned to my upper body. Also, by improving my mobility it has made it 100x easier to hit more depth. Either way thanks man!

You can for sure train to failure alone, just need to be careful to do it safely (set up rack/safetys properly, etc). I moreso meant training past failure is impossible

What have you done??

Steve Plays 😂 someone always comes 🤷‍♂️

Nevermind at 8 minutes 50 seconds you brought it up LOL thanks I guess I should wait until the end of the video to comment

I always adhere to the concept of “as little as possible to produce maximal results. So it’s 100% individual. But being that training stimulus needs to be progressive at some point most “advanced” trainees need to train to failure. And they need to progress their recovery as stimulus progresses. It also depends on training volume. Some people can train to failure every session for weeks. Some less.

@@HypertrophyCoach awesome thanks man great channel. I suppose it also depends on the movement. Failing on leg extensions is far less systemically fatiguing than failing on back squats haha

10 degrees normally

Haha. That belongs to Terrence. He’s sponsored by them

Most people I actually prefer slightly wider. As most people can hip flexion better in that position. I do always want feet as low as possible on leg press and hacks. As long as heels don’t come up

@@HypertrophyCoach What's the concern with heels coming up? Been working on improving my flexibility down there but it hasn't improved much...

I’m not concerned about continuous TUT, just taking the time to ensure perfect reps, and let the load do the work.

@@HypertrophyCoach I get that the squat is not movement where one would look to squeeze and pump a specific muscle but it would seem like coming just shy of coming all the way to the top would be default keep more on the quads without really focusing on them. Or do you just like to complete the movement to get the glutes/hips through a full range or maybe you think its unsafe no completing the movement. By the way I'm referring to just the last part where the joints are stacked. It feels too much like a rest at the top to me. Many thanks for replying to all my questions.

@Thor Odinson I'm not sure what you mean. Do the negatives and the positives slowly, with a smooth turnaround and don't pause at the top of the positive portion of the rep. Move continuously through the whole repetition slowly, I'd say minimally 4 seconds for the negative and 4 seconds for the positive. And go to failure. You will have to lift less weight (a good thing), so it'll be safer for your joints/tendons etc. Makes complete sense.

Are you doing hack squats alongside regular squats? I’m wondering if I need to be doing both.... *edit: hack, not jack. Haha

@@scottend5239 nope. There are only so many variations one can do effectively. If you have 4 effective exercises in your arsenal and you use all 4 of them, then where do you go from there? Mostly my selection is 2 to 3 exercises for each muscle group depending on the resistance profile. Like for legs. Hacks can be paired with leg extensions, because they have the opposite profile.. hacks are easier as you go to the top and leg extensions where it's hardest at the top. And then maybe on second leg day of the week, I would pair up leg press with extensions or maybe use different stance on the leg press. And if I have a 3rd leg day. I will just add a band on the hack to make a even resistance profile and just leave it at that. Do that for 3-4 weeks and then maybe switch out the hacks for squats. Squats I keep it for shorter blocks. Because I have to focus a lot more to get the squeeze of out of the muscle. Doesn't work for me.

...and stuff

Do it and find out

@@edwardlawler9487 I'll try.

Who doesn't train their musclegroups at least 2 times a week?? xD

Absolutely you can. As long as you’re recovering well

YannickLB facts 😂

@@gtr0321994 ??

@Thor Odinson not so smart after all.. All the science of the last 10 years has been pointing towards frequency of training a muscle group, over volume of training a muscle group per session.

Sorry, I’m taken 😂🤷‍♂️

😂

Your legs will now be small.
