Work SMARTER: Build Bigger Quads With Lighter Weights! 

And "roar"

You forgot "big chest"

@@farhat5325I saw your comment a few seconds before he said “big chest” in the video 😂

@@metalguitar777 lol

body weight squats: rack

The most sane RU-vid enjoyer right here

Need video proof

Three legs?? My kinda gal... *Sean Connery purr* YOWZA😏

Sir this is a Denny's

no cock talk around here

It's the best thing I've learned on this channel. I've been doing deficit pushups then knee pushups to failure to finish chest days and I've seen immediate results

Actually, you’re not lifting air, you’re lifting like two thirds of your body weight when you body-weight squat, which in this guy’s case is still quite some weight.

Yep, it's a really "easy" (painful but easy on the joints) way to get in a lot more stimulus! - Dr. Mike

Light weight training has been amazing for my arthritis, and my chest and quads have never been better

How do you do these with shoulders?

I also loved that part.

**bites lip**

@@J90JAM hahahahhahahaha dedddd

@@FudgedrumsHe should be telling him he needs to work those calves 😅

As if another

Woooo! Godspeed! - Dr. Mike

I’m jealous of that atlas hack squat every time I see it

*Atlantis

@@RenaissancePeriodization Alright Mike and Jared-F YOU! As promised today was Leg Day- I RE-watched this on the way to the gym to get you both in my head for those motivational yells to push harder and SLOWER> Seated Hamstring Curl 25-20+5-20+5 as a myorep match set, 5 SECOND negatives Leg Extension 25-20+5-20+5 as a myorep match set, 5 SECOND negatives Hack Squats 50% of my usual weight for 10-12. I got 15-12+3-10+3+2 in Myo Rep match fashion. I literally shrunk 2 inches because I couldn't walk with straight legs, I was BAMBI.----YOU BASTARDS! RDL DBs- I have a SHIT connection here- tons of back pump but legs were shaking by the end. 15-13+2-13+2-End Range partials. Generally I'd like to say F YOU.... I'll look for RDL alternatives, I got a pump but not much tension or "feel" there. Maybe I should switch it out. Either way, joints feel like BUTTA, Legs like ballons. CNS pretty FRESH. KUDOS FELLAS. Love you.

Yep!!! Leg day for me tomorrow too!!! Hope these 46yr old knees can make it!!! Slow negatives are great when ya have older joints!!! Great vid!!

steroids

@@jamesbondisamonkey I’m not sure if you’re trolling, but I’ll concede pain tolerance. However, steroids do absolutely nothing for body awareness and exercise execution. Those things are acquired only through experience and consistency.

body awareness? What the fuck are you talking about?

@@doyourownresearch7297 Sorry. I used a very general and perhaps imprecise term that I assumed most would infer the meaning to encompass proprioception, kinesthesia, efferent neuron activation, and even response to nociception. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. I thought I was just making a quick, hopefully encouraging comment to help boost the algorithm. I should learn to be more careful, I suppose.

​@@philippicphilodox888 I was thinking the same actually judging by how solid his form was throughout

Wooo! My pleasure! - Dr. Mike

The workout was INTENSE! @@RenaissancePeriodization

😂

Slow and controlled, get the pump, feel the mind numbing burn and use full ROM.

same, found this channel a few weeks ago and implemented the techniques and really feel a change

Yes!! I can tell a difference already and I just started training this way two days ago. And my knees have been terrible but I feel the change

All the best on your recovery!

🎉

My legs have blown up doing full range of motion squats with slow eccentric on the Smith machine and I'm at.... A plate on each side, lol. 3/4 of the people in my gym do more weight and do half my range of motion. Just focus on yourself.

Squat everyday

I feel your pain, I feel exactly the same way about squats. I try to celebrate every little improvement I make in technique and performance. It's a challenging exercise, forcing yourself to do it week after week is a win by itself!

Don’t feel bad about where you are. You are further than some and further than you’ve been. I started at 95lbs and that weight can still humble me.

My squat lags, too, but I keep improving because I’m consistent. It will come.

Unfortunately they are a bit unstable for most people, and end up taxing your ability to stay upright a bit more than your legs. I'm not a huge fan of them for that reason, though if you like them and they give you a good stimulus to fatigue ratio, they can be great! - Dr. Mike

@@RenaissancePeriodizationbut Dr. Mike, what if all I have is a power rack to train legs? Are front squats a viable option for growing quads?

@@nickglorioso6123 It would be a better option to do front squats with some sort of bulgarian squats/lunges just to better target different parts, of course if there's positive quad stimulus and no joint pain

I do slant board front squats with the bar on my collarbone with crossed arms instead of an Olympic front rack. I like that it works the back. It’s like a core exercise for your back. I don’t need to go heavy though with the slant board and extreme ROM, so the back holds up fine. Keeping my back upright and neutral is essential because I have serious disc injuries from the Army.

I seen the late John Meadows promote these a few years ago. That’s probably where he got it from.

@@sedricrobinson9499Meadows was retired, but his knowledge bank was really well rounded and practical. He still espoused the strength side of bodybuilding for big lifts and smart stuff for body parts.

Pre fatigue has been around for a long time. The Bostonmass Jose Raymond was into it too. Lee Hainey as well.

That's the cool thing about training right... you don't have to be a pro to do it! - Dr. Mike

It's the pain I crave 😅 maybe I shed a few tears, but the end is worth it

@@deltasaves Yeah...I hide behind my RDLs with slightly more knee bend because they hurt less. Gonna focus on dropping the weight and really getting a good hamstring stretch (SLDL style). Them hams aren't going to grow themselves 🤣

Woooo! - Dr. Mike

Wtf bro
