Thanks I like no I love leg day
Thank you for allowing me to bypass Jeff's super annoying over enunciating voice.
1 set of deadlift has to be the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard lol
That one comment everyone is waiting for
If you set the playback speed to 1.25x or 1.5x it sounds like ben shapiro
😂
Yo I’m dead lmaoooo
Tren Shapiro
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 so true yo! Hahaha
So it makes it unlistenable 😂
If you're an exercise scientist all you have to do is watch these videos and wait till Jeff says he's waiting to see a high-quality study covering X topic lol
**Frantically writes grant proposal** Yes sir, Jeff, go on
I think that's the nice thing about exercise science though.
I can't get into all that planning with numbers and percentages. Goddamn my brain just glazes over when he starts talking about programming. Lift heavy rock, do many times, rock get light, find bigger rock.
@@alastor8091 made my day bro 😂👍
Get the full program! Worth every penny and has expanded my gains to new heights over the past year. Thank you for all the effort and another amazing video.

@@seanc77339 no problem bro
This seems like a ridiculous amount of volume. Is this a 1 day leg workout per week?
@@ch-yq5ynI think you could do It once or twice a week
Or three if you're masochist lol
At 50 years old I’ve neglected my legs for many years as I fooled myself into thinking cycling was enough because I hated leg workouts. Over the past couple of years though I’ve made a concerted effort to work my legs in the gym. I wish I’d started a long time ago. Another excellent vid, thanks Jeff.
It's great that you started. Keep going!
I was just watching your older videos when this pop up. Quality work as always!
Of course this has half the views as the push/pull videos lol. People really gotta stop skipping legs
People? *Guys, & girls gotta stop skipping upper body workouts 😂
Chest is sexy
FR, legs are GOATED🎉🐐🔥
Just tried this workout and I can definitely say it was tremendous.
The six pack shortcuts joke CRUSHED. Great video brother. Thank you 🙏
Quality content as usual. Thanks for an in depth lesson on leg training. 🤙
Your workout videos are amazing Jeff, so well thought out and articulated and purposeful. Thanks my friend. 💪💪💪
his approach to things is really good!!!
Nice and informative, as always Jeff.
Dude! Love this! Similar to what I'm doing - superset hip thrust with regular deadlift, superset leg extension with leg press, then leg curl, toe press and ab crunch!
7:20 - I find captain chair quite easy (I'm light) so what I do is first 10 reps with a dumbell between my feet then drop it and do 10 reps without a dumbell. The other 2 days a week I hit lower abs I do hanging leg raises but haven't found a good way to add weight to them (I think TIB bar would work but gym doesn't have one).
Hey Jeff I feel amazing stretch with donkey calf raises. I am doing standing and donkey instead of sitting calf raises. I’ll see how I feel after some time. Cheers great video and playlist !!
Hi, Jeff! First of all, I love your content. You're already the best on TH-cam yet you're constantly improving. We love it.
I'm just wondering if you could clarify something for me regarding rep ranges? It seems to me that every fitness influencer/educator, yourself included, incorporates a variety of rep ranges into their routines. I understand it from a practicality standpoint (probably wouldn't make timely sense to take every set to 30 reps), but I still can't understand why nearly everyone workouts their calves, mid delts, etc. at higher rep ranges--closer to 15 reps--when the literature suggests that this wouldn't have any noticeable effect on muscle growth (for these muscles groups or any others). I haven't found a single video by anybody whereby they can reasonably/scientifically explain why they choose to go with higher reps when focusing on these muscles. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated!
Again, a huge fan coming from Victoria, BC!
@alexandercline1004 well slow twitch dominant muscles such as side delts, forearm,neck etc don't respond well to low rep ranges. If you try to lift super heavy on exercise like lateral raises your form might loosen and other big muscle group like traps jump in to handle the weight reducing the amount of stimulus on target muscle. On exercise like lateral raises where progressive overload is very difficult high rep ranges make sense. Don't believe me try to hit 5 rep max on lateral raises
This was an extremely helpful comment, I really appreciate it!@@CraftyStones
Hey Jeff, if we're concerned about power, how much plyo should you / can you do in a given weekly cycle?
nice work Jeff, 5 videos in the past month after what felt like 1 video every 5 months. You're gonna gain back subs this way!
I find it crazy that after watching Jeff I realized I’ve had too much volume and were doing exercises that overlapped . Bout to change up the split
Thanks for this. For some reason I’ve never thought about alternating hams and quads. I used to do quads first then hams, lately it has felt better to reverse this. I like this approach 👍
Ur physic is so uncredible, I was afraid to be trick by this but damn ! Ur giving good advices and talking according to science. So I can say it, I'm in love with the physic u have, I can see the genetics (u seem to have short limbs that helps to hypertrophy) but I can definitly see the training too and it's esthetic and well balanced ! Ur now my body goal
Always that “according to science” to make your video more credible to watch…. Jeff always at the top. 😘
Jeff is a the best. His form is immaculate. Love the content ❤
Hi Jeff! Would you please do a video on the nuclei overload technique?
There’s a lot of debate surrounding the topic and I’d love to hear your stance on it.
Love your videos. Would love to see your thoughts on the best exercises for people who can't load their spines due to common injuries.
Great workout.
Regarding the rectus femoris and the leg extension.
As you said, the rectus femoris crosses the hip joint and the knee joint. As for the hip, it works as a hip flexor.
When you do leg extension, you have to sit and when you sit, your hips are flexed.
In this position, the rectus femoris is shortened and therefore can develop less force.
So it doesnt make any sense that you said that you are doing the leg extension for the rectus femoris.
Please elaborate.
What would you recommend for forearms and what day should I do them?
Loved the jab at 6 pack shortcuts
Interesting choice of exercises. Thanks!
I have never seen RDLs where the weight is put to the ground. Whats the reason? Why didn't you choose an ab exercise where progressive overload is possible?
Im glad i found this channel.Thank you buddy.Keep it up.
Trying this out than my normal leg routine. This is very fun.
for those who don't like or are too strong for leg raises: try reverse squats, not ATG style, but with a full, deep stretch pulling you apart and crunching from both ends at the top, if you have acces a cable in your hands and on your feet is even better for the abs and cable crossbody chrunches are amazng to also hit the serratus
Hello Jeff, I just bought your program because I really wish to get in shape but I’m kind of nervous to get started even thought I’ve bought the body recomposition program. What’s the best way I could use it without forgetting any previous information that I read? I mean it’s a lot of information do I just follow it as I read or do I just read the whole thing first? And should I combine it with another program such as the hypertrophy program even though you have a training chapter in there? I would love it if you could help me out.
Would love videos on: caffeine addiction and body dysmorphia!
For anyone who wants to do straight leg calf raises but doesn't have access to a standing calf raise machine, you can do them on the leg press machine.
When would you not recommend doing the leg extension exercise Jeff ?
I LOVE YOUR WORK!
What do you think of the total gym leg curl?
They seem to hinge at both the knee and the hip.
Apparently you can load it with extra weight via the weight bar attachment.
Any good??
Jeff, one thing that strikes me about your knowledge, approach, and philosophy is that you remind me of Jim Cordova -- that guy was mesmerizing and inspiring with his knowledge of the field!
Quite similar to my legs workout,but i will note it thank you Jeff
I’ve been working on building a new leg day routine, and I was worried that I wasn’t really hitting everything the way I should, but as it turns out, my leg days are pretty damn similar to this
You don’t need a lot if you take the right choices!👌😀
I don't know what's going on (but firstly let me detail my leg workout, sorry for boring anyone out there).
Saturdays is my leg day, so one day a week.
-First thing I do is stretch my calves, with the front of my feet stepping on the round tubes of the plate tree, I strecth my calves, followed by hamstring stretches, both standing and raising the feet high, and finalized by quad and glute stretches.
-After all the stretching I go get a mat, fold it up and place it in front of a machine I use it's part to do copenhagens for my inner thigh endurance training, followed by nordic curls for hamstrings, just one set is enough, I'm a big guy so I do assist my self with my hands a bit while doing the nordic curls.
-Next I move to the seated leg press, and do one sef, full stack with feet mid height and joined together in the middle of the plate to hit the outer quad sweep, like said one full on set.
-Next is hamstrings, although there is a lying hamstring machine, I use the seated leg extension and do standing unilateral hamstring curls, I do 3 sets per side, I love getting a huge bow in my hams.
-Again with the same leg extension machine this time I do leg extensions for the quads, with toes pointing in, again for the outer section, again one full out set with full stack, I get the burn I get off.
-Next, I'm at the soleus machine, I do one set with neutral feet position, that is both feet parallel to each other.
-Followed by a standing calve raise with toes pointing in, full stack full burn, one set.
-Next I get to work the inner things on the abductor/adductor machine, I only do one set full stack on it for the inner thighs, because 2.5 times a week I do hip trusts with a very very heavy loop band around my knees, so while hip thrusting I open my knees apart against the resistance of the band, which give me plenty of outer thigh workout during the week prior to leg day saturday.
-And to finish off the exercises I go get my self 33lbs kettlebell, sit down on a stool have the kettlebell gripped by my toes, feet extended and I curl my toes/feet up working the tibialis anterior, one set, to about 18-20 reps depending on how tired I may be, I got tibialis like half bowling pins to complement the huge calves.
All followed by more stretching of the lower body and I'm out of the gym.
Why is this giving me amazing leg growth ? my daily protein intake is merely 1gram per kg o lean body weight, not more, I don't even use creatine let alone anything else, why doesn't my rear delts grow so fast with so little effort? :)))
@@KenanTurkiyebro wrote a novel 💀😭
@@p3drozroom ...and I tried so hard to summarize! lol
Hey Jeff, can you help me out? I did a lot of heavy squads and deadlifts and my nerve (sciatic) from bottom back to leg went ballistic. I've stopped training and when the pain moved away I just did walking + slow ass rowing. Got any tips for nerve inflamation due to training?
You should do a legday with RP love their style for these movements
Instead of nordic leg curl i use a flat bench where i lay and place a dumbbell between feet, feel really similar but more relatable and scalable
I do that too. Apparently laying flat isn't optimal though
I tried this workout, and was super strict with my form and rpe. Doing the leg press with maintaining the slight knee bend and light rest might have by one of the most challenging workouts mentally I’ve ever done. To push through that level of pain was crazy
Love that there's no squats as my knee doesn't like them anymore, trying this tomorrow morning!
What do you reccomend for training after finishes a powerlift peakint program?
do you think calf raise would be perfect to apply partials with stretch the calf at the bottom and go up to parallel only
Hey Jeff thanks for all the great content! A problem I have been facing is that a lot of the time during workouts, I feel like my body can handle more exercises, but my mind gets very fatigued (feelings of nausea, needing to throw up etc.) For example I can do 3 sets of Leg Curls, Leg Press, RDLs before feeling completely drained mentally, but physically my legs feel like they can do more. Is this a problem with my sleep, diet, or something else? Or am I going too intense in my sets? I’m 17 and have been training for one year (though not as consistently as I’d like but still at least 1-4 times/week)
Are you drinking Gatorade or eating some other form of carbs during the workout? Found that helps a lot for me, you may also want to time your rests so you don't get drained with all the waiting involved
Jeff, I do legs twice week. Where do squats go into the mix? Do i swapp out with deadlift or seated leg press?
Has there been a video comparing different variations of leg press and machine squat??
hey Jeff, I'm not sure if you've already covered the topic but I see there's a lot of talk around Ozempic recently and I wonder if you maybe let us know your thoughts on the compound? it looks interesting and you're my go to guy for science-based fitness.
Hi Jeff, when will you publicize your new training program?
Dr. Mike and Jeffy Nipples both hittin legs today, its like the protein video double feature all over again. I ❤ Nipraetel days!
😂
Their couple name is Lambokiwi.
Dr. Israel and Jeffy Nipples 🙏
I have access to seated calf raise, but not the standing calf raise, is the seated calf raise good enough for calves or should I find another exercise to do?
With the calves, does doing sets pointing your toes inwards and then sets with them outwards make sense in addition to this to target other parts of your calves?
Jeff, please give us a high intensity training routing
Is the back extension an okay sub for the ghr? I dont have the glute ham raise machine at my gym
Jump rope has been amazing for my calves. Been lifting for years and could never grow my calves. Granted I never paid attention to them. Not until I started jump rope. They inflated once I got good and kept at it.
Yay, I do pretty much all of these. Only thing is I do hack squat instead of barbell squat.
Can i use the same aproach in bench press as in deadlift ? (decreasing the reps each week for power gain)
hi @jeffnippard, how do you incorporate rest days into push pull leg split? great videos, thanks for that.
You can rest whenever u want. This is why PPL is so great, you don’t have to rest…
I purchased your latest workout and just completed legs #2 and wow. I don't think my legs ever felt so much like jell-o... 😂 Insane and I never got such a focused pump to my quads. Thank you! I'm on the second week and feeling small changes already.
Hey Jeff, what deadlift shoes are those? I like that design!
What about if you’re using a seated calf raise for injury prevention rather than hypertrophy?
Hi jeff can you do video about knee sleeves? What are their pros and cons?
0:01 - dude looks like the turn of the century bodybuilder
You are one of my biggest inspirations for becoming a personal trainer 🎉
is this new PPL series also viable for beginers, for people who have lifted but only irregularly for couple month?
Hey Jeff I was wondering I have been watching your videos for quite some time now and thoroughly enjoy your content have had a question about reps so to build strength rep rang is 1-8 and body building range is 9-14 and insurance/working is 15+ has there been any studies that look at the density of comparison to former power lifters that transition to bodybuilding I want to dive deeper into how muscles and ligaments develop and how they grow/strengthen
There is no bodybuilding rep range, the number of sets determines muscle growth, not the number of reps. As far as strength athletes having thicker tendons and bones that is true. Go watch Brian Shaw's dexa scan videos
Any new programs on the horizon? This is my 3rd time through the ultimate PPL program and it’s been amazing.
Ready for something new though
lol, didn't expect Jeff to half rep that leg Press, I think Mike needs to cue him in on how to open up and get depth. at the beginning I couldn't get deeper, over a couple of sessions with either no or minimal weight I figured out how to get in position, let my knees clear my torso, now I get at leas 60% calf and hamstring coverage at the bottom and need 2 blocks and 4 mats to set up since the leg press at my gym doesn't go low enough. don't worry if at first you feel it more in your adductors, oncegettin' full depth is comfortable you'll figure out how to get mostly quads.
PS: I think it's important this workout is for powerbuilding, at least in the demonstrated form, neither pure bodybuilding nor powerlifting. also at 50% of your conventional deadlift the SLDLs will be glute focused, there's no way your able to fully expose your hamstrings at that load(they'll still get hit but to really get that nasty eccentric into a painful stretch you need lighter weights or your nervous system won't allow you to expose your hams cause they would robably tear if put in a vulnerable, yet very stimulative position, with your lower bach bein' much less of a limiting factor due to the lighter weight.
Content request: A hybrid training program in which progressive overload is attained via some combination of both body weight(or calisthenics) and free weight training. I strongly appreciate your empirical approach to all your programs, but I am concerned with not doing enough body weight training in the programs you currently offer.
Hey Jeff! Do the macros, macros matter? There are Proteins, Carbs and fats. But what about the total sugars, Trans fats, saturated fats etc. Are those important to track as well?
Do this type of series for bro split and each muscle
can you do a experiment about static holds/holding the weight.
3:41 The way my anxiety is set up, I’d rather leave some gains on the table then perform this variation 💀
too many eyes would look
What exercises should I do as an absolute beginner.
Does glute ham raise replace leg curl?
Hey, I'm interested in powerbuilding programs. I've recently completed a 4 week period of Layne Norton's PHAT program and found it lacked the strength components I appreciate as a former mostly strength-based lifter. So I created my own version using aspects of the 5/3/1 applied to all the compounds on the two power days (this isn't a new approach, I think it goes back a decade on reddit. I'm a bit concerned about the volume i've given myself and to be honest I'm not sure if some of the movements have enough volume. This video sort kind of looks like my current combined program. Perhaps I'm on the right track.
Plz keep doing these!
If I am doing Bulgarian split squat instead of the Deadlift then how many sets and reps should I do
Thanks for the vid Jeff
Are leg curls good in general?
any ideas for alternatives for leg extension maschine?
[WARM-UP]
- 5M Treadmill
- Leg Switches: Back/Forth-Sides
- Barbell Hip Thrust
- Bulgarian Split Squat
- Leg Extension (slow eccentric)
- Srated Calf Raises
- Upp calf raises
- Leg raises
(Weird to put in place: glut harm raises ; for later)
- Leg Press
- Glute Ham Raise
Can you make a workout split for people who only have dumbbells?
Glute ham raiise alternative??
Can you show us around the facility that makes your protein powder and supplements?
How it's made and processed from start to being packed in container.
Unless it's made in China or somewhere in the US that receives it from china/India
Where’d you get the sweater?
If i only train 3 days a week, are the three videos (push, pull, legs according to science) good to repeat every week or do i have to switch things up. I am a beginner at the gym.
Hi Jeff! I am just getting into weight training now and I was wondering if you could please make a similar video for at-home workouts (dumbbells primarily)? It would be a huge help! TIA
On that note, would leg raises lying down achieve the same thing as on the Roman chair?
I don't feel much tension on the ham glute raise. Does anybody else experience this? I feel like I'd get more of a contraction on the hamstring and glutes from a lying leg curl
