Hey bro. As you're a beginner, I feel obligated to tell you that you're training is poor. All experienced trainers KNOW that the first part of a muscular exercise to fatigue is peak contraction. So you train peak contraction FIRST. So quad extensions go first, then MOST LIKELY would be calves. FOLLOWED by squats. You're welcome. You can now train to intermediate status.
Defo covered all the best, except for reverse nordics. I think they’re a callisthenics staple replacement for leg extensions. I also noticed i bend my legs a lot less than you during Romanian deadlifts, but im only 5’10 and im guessing you’re 6ft+? I guess thats maybe why.
@MOE13576 check out squat university firstly, great advice for bad knees. A summary of what he would tell you is start with single leg touch downs, progress the depth over time whilst also doing Spanish Squats etc. Game changer for me
@@abceckswhyzee7169tibs are great to train for general health but not for hypertrophy. It’s junk volume for a muscle that never gets seen. I do think everyone should be doing them but bodybuilding has never been and will never be about health.
1. Back Squats 4x10 2. Leg Extensions 4x10 Superset with Hamstring Curl 4x10-12 3. Calf Raises 4x12-15 4. Leg press 3x12 Plus a 10min run for warm up to get the blood flowing and heart rate up a little for all my workouts is my way to go.
@@liamlifts in my case yes because it has more benefits than simple squats and it works way better that way around. Do some sets of squats and try pistols after.. To hard 😄 for squats I just need to adjust the weight But don't get me wrong, if it's about building muscles mainly I would concentrate on normal squats and not concentrate on pistols But I prefer having balance and stability factors as well so Pistol > normal squats
Lads try a Kickstand squat in place of a pistol when it comes to hypertrophy. Even a small plat under the heel to bias the quads. The extra stability allows you to really control and push to failure
I work-out outside in a field using logs and other heavy things. The benefits are amazing. For anyone who is interested, here's a squat variant I do that greatly increased my leg gains: Using a log that's only about 30-40 lbs, place it on your back, just like you're gonna do regular barbell squats. Do reps deep af with abs braced as tight as possible, going knee over toes, and trying to touch calves to hamstrings. On the last rep, drive the legs up hard, but controlled, and throw the log as far forward as possible. Walk to the log, squat down, lift it back up over your head, and repeat. Do this for 50 yards or so down the field, then turn around and do it back down the field until you return to the starting point. To overload, increase reps and/or distance down the field. It's also great to follow those up with a nice set of deadlifts or kettle bell swings. With the last rep of KB swings drive up and throw the KB behind you, going down and back on the field again.
Taking this knowledge, its easy for me now if i have bad knees or pain in my knees on a certain day to just go towards leg extensions and flexions. No knee pain and i still get the work it
I removed deadlifts and conventional squats from my routine, I’ve been doing hack squat, hamstring curls, pistols and other replacements and I’ve been doing better than ever, deadlifts and squats just fry my nervous system and make me feel stiff
Last time I tried a pistol squat I spent three days unable to descend any kind of stairs: Train at your level and slowly progress. Don't skip to harder exercises just because they seem fun or cool😂😂.
Handstand push ups, other than that you can’t really expect much from no equipment tbh. Even with handstand push ups you’ll need to elevate your handstand for a better rom over time.
Lunges aren't strictly lower back friendly if you want to use them as a heavier movement, higher reps on lunges can be pretty taxing on cardio since you have to do both legs, unless you do one leg for a set, rest, and do the other leg after.
You forgot Kick-Stand Squats. Best calisthenics that targets most of the leg 🦵 muscle targets. It’s like a squat and a leg extension together. But not an exercise to focus on back Hamstring.

Super hard
Since becoming proficient at (elevated) pistol squats, not only my leg strength has improved but my hip mobility as well. Truly recommended!
How would you recommend starting off with bad knees ? 😂

@@MOE13576 Not the OP, but try just doing some normal bodyweight squats and some streaching.
@@LS-Gaming101 cool thanks
I love pistols too. If you really want to work hip mobility, try cossack squats
RIP Calves and Tibs 😢 You are officially not even considered “legs” anymore 😂
What’s that?
@@paradise5534 Calves and tibialis.

His voice is soothing to hear😅.
Has a tone that would be great for mediation
@@jcjayrock Exactly
Shshs shh.. Sh... 🤫
leg curls are also bicep curls because one of the hamstring muscles is called bicep femoris
Bulgarian split squats are another great single leg variation. Probably the best exercise for building glutes as well
Your glutes are already pretty much set by doing a squat and dl variation. No need for that torture 😅
💯 agree with you, sprinting also helped me in developing the mid quad ( vastus intermedius).
Love sprinting.
Cycling 15kms everyday helped me build the whole leg section. I put like 5kgs more
Best short leg video on TH-cam!

How to train with calisthenics and proceeds to tell you to use machines. Okay then 😂
Watch it again
A back extension chair isn’t a machine though.
He did say calisthenics and weights… so he demonstrated both…
1. Pistol Squats 2. Squats 3. Sissys/Hackensmith 4. RDL 5. Cossacks 6. Calve Raise is my choice
1. Back Squats 4x10
2. Leg Extensions 4x10 Superset with Hamstring Curl 4x10-12
3. Calf Raises 4x12-15
4. Leg press 3x12
Plus a 10min run for warm up to get the blood flowing and heart rate up a little for all my workouts is my way to go.
pistol being rated higher than a standard squat?

Bulgarian split squats with weights are my choice

Hack squats are the king of quads bro.
Great examples Dan. We are spoilt for choice. I’ve got no excuses now!!😅
Nice one all the best

I'll start with these leg exercises directly next year right after I finished my McDonalds meals.

Pistol squat is challenging is ..quite an understatement... 😂😂
I basically see almost pure weights lol, but yeah I get the video, great advice btw :)

The best workout for injured leg ligament damage, spinal cord and stretch.

Riding bicycle every day for 30 minutes to one hour makes your legs strong, you don’t need any fancy exercises

I work-out outside in a field using logs and other heavy things. The benefits are amazing. For anyone who is interested, here's a squat variant I do that greatly increased my leg gains:
Using a log that's only about 30-40 lbs, place it on your back, just like you're gonna do regular barbell squats. Do reps deep af with abs braced as tight as possible, going knee over toes, and trying to touch calves to hamstrings. On the last rep, drive the legs up hard, but controlled, and throw the log as far forward as possible. Walk to the log, squat down, lift it back up over your head, and repeat. Do this for 50 yards or so down the field, then turn around and do it back down the field until you return to the starting point. To overload, increase reps and/or distance down the field. It's also great to follow those up with a nice set of deadlifts or kettle bell swings. With the last rep of KB swings drive up and throw the KB behind you, going down and back on the field again.
For me Weighted Walking lunges works best for me
