This man has single handedly changed how I train and I am forever grateful for it. Not to discredit other fitness TH-camrs I like but his advice has worked so well for me.
you obviously are not paying attention to how quickly this thing blew up.... the algorithm is in his favor... Thibarmy on the ither hand, IS GETTING NO LOVE FROM TH-cam/GOOGLE
So you're saying that I shouldn't load up the sled with every plate in the gym, make sure everyone is looking, do a 1/8 rep, and then get up and scream how strong I am? Ok.
@@vikingslayer34 either you're trolling or you never seen their leg press videos. I agree you shouldn't lock out, but pushing range of motion past 90° doesn't add to muscle tension and can be devastating on your lower back depending on your genetics.
Ok, I'm like a 135lb, 38-year-old suburban mom who has no business in these videos...but trying to up my strength-training game and am I the only one who finds this guys' sarcasm just next-level brilliant?
Ryan’s a bodybuilding comedian! He knows his stuff and this video was particularly useful to me because I use a 60 degree leg press for my core leg routine. This guy is great at what he does!
Ryan ive never felt like a trainer knew what he was talking about until i followed your direction, you are an amazing director, your exercises work, ive learned to connect to my muscles through your guidance, i have gotten so much more out of my workouts, and your humor is of the hook, i love it, you would fit in our family dinner table!! Thank yiu so much
Yeah I got have 3 disc issue now I just work leg press like wild, and do calfs and legs are looking good, and the issue is I would do squats if I could withstand the pain.
I would just like to Testify to the fact that this guy knows what he's talking about. I've been training for quite some time, have even trained a lot of people, and gotten pretty good results. Today though I did some of these variations, and holy cow, I don't think I've ever felt a pump like that in my legs! You known you've done something right when you have to pull yourself up the staircase with the railing. Thank you Ryan!
One thing that's really helped me has been rocking. There's a TH-cam channel called original strength that discusses it. I've hurt my adductors and SI joint in the past doing heavy squats, but after rocking, I've not had any issues. Hope this helps! Also do dynamic stretching (legs swings, walking leg kicks, walking knee highs, etc.) before a workout and static stretching after.
Just a quick thought, have you heard of the 90/90 stretch? Its great for before lifting legs but should be performed daily for the best results! If youre looking for similar content I actually made a video on this very subject could be useful!
Been doing a lot of the chest workouts you have been recommending as I am new to weight lifting. Seeing awesome results! Went up 15lbs on my bench PR after about 30 days! Keep it up Ryan!
Lateral Head triceps focus mid Back Lateral Head shoulders V Shape focus Calves and lower back thanks! other thing overhead press behind de neck you do ? Or do other variation!
I read on multiple places/seen on videos people saying to NOT do behind the back pull/press because of how sholder is designed on The inside. (Joints or nerves i guess) Sorry for my english
Nice one. Been avoiding the leg press after learning about how it can be hurtful if done wrong. This video makes me confident to get back on it and doing it right.
Not sure which I enjoyed more after doing this one..the knowledge gained/my neighbor asking if I was drunk, after I waddled to my front door. Definitely keep the feet/knee/other placement tips coming..I've connected so well, with every variation. Thanks again!
This is exactly th-cam.com/users/postUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS what I needed to get some exercise while I'm stuck at my desk all day. It's just the right size. Only downsides are that the right oeddale unscrews itself while I use it and increasing the tension causes it to squeak while in use. Both are minor issues that aren't that important to me. So I give it 5 stars.
After watching a shit ton of your videos and learning what are true rest pause and widowmakers I finally completely understand tour philosophy. Thank you for teaching me how to kick my ass..
I’ve been looking to get those Popeye legs & calves. I really felt my muscles working this routine. Get back to me in a few days & see if I’m still walking. Always love your videos Ryan. Keep it up 💪🏼
Ryan, you're a beast... I love Jeff Cavaliere and Jeff Nippard because of the science, but you make me want to actually get out there, and I've been lacking the motivation since the Holidays. Keep it cranking :)
Just found this channel. Coolest dude ever, and these tips are super helpful. This guy is a BEAST. I have no idea how in the world anyone can get this big. I've been lifting for almost 2 decades and if I slack for a month or two, I look like a weakling. I'm hoping this helps.
Leg Press or Leg Sled that allows Foot Plate Angle and BackPad Angle adjustment... plus a hip hinge movement like Rack Pull type movement... along with Leg ext and Leg Curl and you can have awesome legs... no squats needed. The squat works my Posterior chain more because I have short torso and long femur. Barely works my quads.
Would love to see some more lower chest focused exercises, maybe some dip alternatives because dips always wreck my shoulders. Thanks for all the great content!
@@zenco1611Virtue signaling? Shaming? For a joke? You're taking this wayyy too seriously. Btw Ryan's a big boy he doesn't need you white knighting for him.
Natural Hypertrophy You just completely attacked him for his comment. I don’t think Ryan would want you to bully us Teenagers online. Try to have some class 🙄
@@TeddyIvyLeague You don't get to initiate an attack then retreat and play victim when it backfires. If you are actually a teenager that's a lesson you should take to heart. Humor is the salt of life; taking yourself too seriously will not lead to anything positive. That's a second lesson that will serve you as you age.
Natural Hypertrophy omg you literally don’t see how hurtful your comment was and that’s the downfall of society…can’t wait until Bernie becomes president
Bro, @52, I thought I knew quite a bit. I've seen many of your videos' and take a little from each. However, this one proved to be legit 100%. I haven't had a leg pump like this in like... forever! followed your lead, and I can barely get up the stairs. Let's see what the next two days bring for pain :) Thanks for teachin' this old dog a new trick or two.
If you let your knees go over your toes expect a lot of shear force on the knees. If you have had multiple knee surgeries with complications like I did, don't let your knees go over your toes.
Hey Ryan can u do a video on how u dealt or deal w imbalances. I feel my right side is doing most of the work on some exercises :/ thanks for the awesome content
Don't try anything if you didn't heal your low back yet. Ask for professional assist by your chiropractic my friend. If you had in the past injury and your lower back is fine, lower back extension with extra weight is perfect for your lower back muscles. Good luck.
Subbed !!! loved the sumo one on the machine , i didnt know(thinkabout) that you could do that. learning something new again. going for my second time of legday this week today
I am lactose intolerant, ibs survivor and have a slim genetic. Even if i workout hard and consistent, i wouldnt get to have a body and thunder thighs like Ryan. Hopefully i get to have a body like this in the next life.
I found this one to be very applicable. I tried it and got the worst quad burn I've ever experienced. This is NOT for someone with a low pain threshold!
Awesome videos and instructions Ryan! Would like to know whether would you encourage a single leg movement for the leg press for strength balancing or keep to both legs on the machine for stability? I've fractured my right ankle before, and ever since i've always had lesser flexibility in the right ankle. How would you do it if given my situation? Thanks in advance mate! Cheers!
Hi Ryan, how is it possible that I can do more weight on the press than a squat. Also I find it difficult doing a bar squat compared to doing kettle bell or dumbbell squats?
I think cause on a press every thing is fixed.. So you only have to concentrate all your power on the legs and glutes to press the thing.. On the squat you have to stabilize everything
What about hamstrings and lats when all you have is a squat rack, bench and some rage bands. These are two workouts I know I am wasting my time. 35 to 40 sets. Not sore. My hands get blown up but I can't seem to push burn into hams and lats.
I do leg presses regularly, but there's an upper limit on reps for an odd reason: my knees heat up. I go slow and deliberate, but much more than 15 reps puts a fire in my knees. I'm also limited with foot placement - I have to stay fairly high or I get knee pain. That said, they still give me damn good all around leg pump and fatigue, including quads. I'm doing them 2nd on my trap-bar dead based workout right now, followed by leg extensions.
This man has single handedly changed how I train and I am forever grateful for it. Not to discredit other fitness TH-camrs I like but his advice has worked so well for me.
The purpose of this comment is to tell TH-cam's algorithm that Ryan's channel n̶e̶e̶d̶s̶ deserves to be watched by as many viewers as possible.
Yeah well its obviously working considering how fast his channel is growing

So you're saying that I shouldn't load up the sled with every plate in the gym, make sure everyone is looking, do a 1/8 rep, and then get up and scream how strong I am? Ok.
No NO YOUR LYING THIS CANT BE😰😰
Nah that can't be true because my ego says otherwise 😠😡
Like Eddie Hall and Ronnie Colman... those damn ego lifters don't even know how to workout 😒
@@GregRosolowski Yeah no. They actually go calf to ass and dont lock out. But I bet you already knew that?
@@vikingslayer34 either you're trolling or you never seen their leg press videos.
I agree you shouldn't lock out, but pushing range of motion past 90° doesn't add to muscle tension and can be devastating on your lower back depending on your genetics.

Thats super rough, curious what kind of things have you done to work around that issue?
Hi Ryan, how is it possible that I can do more weight on the press than a squat. Also I find it difficult doing a bar squat compared to doing kettle bell or dumbbell squats?
I think cause on a press every thing is fixed.. So you only have to concentrate all your power on the legs and glutes to press the thing.. On the squat you have to stabilize everything
I would imagine everyone is stronger on leg press than squat.
Many reasons, one not mentioned yet is you aren’t moving your own body weight in the leg press but are in the squat.
