modify this workout. Instead of doing the machines for each body part add them towards the middle to end of your workout. For me at least, I find machines to fatigue me quicker than free weights.
I was sold when he showed how he stretched out in between exercises. A lot of guys don’t care for mobility or flexibility, they just care about building muscle. Steve really knows what he’s doing and how to look after his body, very impressed
I projectile vomited outside my gym after this. Definitely the best leg workout I've ever done. And no I'm not lying, I literally was sick to my stomach. Might have pushed myself a bit too hard but hey, no pain no gain right?
Tried several programmes for legs but yours is the best programme adapted for me - can see the results after 3 weeks but the first week I could not even walk and perform my other exercices
"Go through this pain and the rest of the day everything it all seems easy" xD dude, after that intense workout, the only body part you'd move is your head!
You guys need to change your editing style or get a new editor. It's always terrible. Stop putting so much B rolls and close ups before we could actually see the movement done in full range of motion. Damn it
I see why you won so many times. You don't look stiff and robotic like 90% of these guys youtube. Also, too many have a generic body-in-a-box look. Your look is very natural, full, and flexible.
3:03 - "Never sacrifice your form". Best advice ever. I have paid the price a number of times in the past for not heeding these words in bills paid to my physio and set backs in my fitness training due to injury. :P
Straight leg dead lift puts more emphasis on your hamstrings. Having your knees give a slight bend and pushing your hips back as you lower the weight, it gives some nice work in the hammies. Be sure to keep the weight on the heels.
A few things. You should be doing squats(front or back) first, because this is the most taxing leg lift. Second, when do a standing or lying leg curl, what is the purpose of then doing a seated leg curl? The leg extension/jump squat superset is not bad idea, but doing walking lunges with weights would be far more effective. Also you should finish the leg workout with calf raises, either standing or seated. While your calf's are being utilized in some of these other exercises, the calf raise is essential if you really want them to look big and developed. A good workout nonetheless, but I believe this is designed more for beginners.
Peace be to you! Outstanding work young man! You're a very good instructor! I'm a middle-aged, marathon-running, ectomorph. Thus, I'll never get big. However, I find great value in these exercises for increasing running strength and efficiency ! I greatly appreciate the front squats. They're far more kind to my back than conventional behind-the-backs. Keep up the great work. BTW, what are your post-bachelor plans (MD, DO, PA, PT, PhD, etc)? I'm curious?🤔I wish you the VERY best of succes in your positive endeavors! Peace!
I love how they couldn't just stick to the same camera angle throughout even one of his seated leg curl reps so we could get a good perspective of his rom

Legend!
Thought he was gonna say "If you don't have this machine in your gym, find a new gym" lol
lol
it's true though, what waste gym doesn't have a leg press ahaha
You''ve better change the place if there are not such basic facilities.
That would be funny haha
whoever can finish this exercise in 45 minutes may god be with you
Hahaha Hilarious. May God be with you too bro
Cody Hendo seriously! I'd be on the squat rack for over an hour
IF and that's a big IF i finish in 45 min then i won't be walking for 3 days !

Are you idiot
I did this yesterday and every fiber of my being wanted to throw up, i gagged a few times walking back home ahhaha, man that was great
They probably didn't eat enough food post workout.

i mean, they put the activity in bold letters and explain it. you dont really need to see all 10 reps to know he's doing it.
I did 25 minutes of this and my Legs were on fire. 45 minutes is ideal but by 25 minutes my legs were already jello 🔥 loved it

The song at the end is Drive It Home by Dan Phillipson for those who were wondering
indeed, above paralell no hamstring/glute is involved, still u should do full front squats, so u can take out one hamstring isolation...
Thats a deep v

This is fucking intense
i love how this comment is 4 years old and youre saying its intense...my brother you made it ahaha
holy
watching this after 6 years :) Love ya Laid , fkin motivating and inspirating me !!
11:35 "your legs should be feeling a little bit rubbery" I'm only watching the video and I feel like my legs gave out half way through this vid.
Took me forever to scroll down on popular page for bodybuilding to find a leg workout
all that effort and not a bead of sweat. shennanigans!
I'd really like to see how deep you go and also I'd like to see your knees over feet, etc.. I have a hard time with the front squats
Thank you very much good exercises, tomorrow its legs day for me and I'll try those exercises
Its never to late to follow your passion
Just did this and tried to go pick up groceries after and had a hard time walking through the store let alone leaving the gym. Great workout
heading off to gym to try this routine now, god help me
Same here buddy :D
Also adding "Farmers Walks" is a very good exercise. It is good for your legs, and your traps.
jakethemuss3 not really good for traps unless you flex them not amazing for legs and mainly for forearms
Finished this whole workout! Left the gym like a newborn baby goat. Now I'm having difficulties sitting down to take a shit. Gret Workout!!
Leg day is my favourite day. Kidding a great bodybuilder loves working all his body parts the same but I really like leg day!
Love the workout. Going to try it on my next leg workout.
Hi Steve cook .... I hope you are doing good ..... Can you guide me for increasing the muscles. And give some schedule for every day workout
"If you go fast on legs, you're not getting the results that you could be" proceeds to do leg extensions at 100mph
Awesome legs. Building me some wheels tomorrow
yes you can the point of this workout is to progressively use more weight each work out
Could barely walk down the gym stairs after this workout haha love it
i can't wait to get over my sciatic nerve injury
Sir,
if you can add specific gym workout for 100M sprinters and diet it will be very helpful
this is my new leg routine and im loving it!
Im curious how the first exercise, the straight legged dead lift, works legs? Isn't that all core?
I'm going to follow this is awesome
Dude’s still a legend.
I like how everybody can critique his front squats even though Steve's Legs are probably bigger than all of there's.
That's the best exercises for leg day. Although I would also add inner and outer thigh machines at the end.

Heyyyy My name is Steve too !So can I get legs like you? Nice vid Big Man

in back of your shins and under your quads typically above your feet
I just want to ask body building.com or steve cook, why isnt there a 'abs' workout video in the "big man on campus" videos?
Awesome workout
he's a competitive bodybuilder...they keep clean shaves dawg
Killer leg workout..must try!!! 💪🙌❤🔥
Great motivation
Does this video have a link to all of the workouts performed in this video explained?
Lol at this video having the least amount of views compared to the rest of the workouts.
+Arjun Rai everyday is upper body day, apparently
it's actually funny because they wanna be manly by only working out upper body when they aren't manly enough to take the pain of leg day hahaha
You wouldn’t believe how many people in my gun alone noticeably ignores leg days.
I love how they couldn't just stick to the same camera angle throughout even one of his seated leg curl reps so we could get a good perspective of his rom
Mr Steve thank you for this routine ,i need to start doing front squats, i have a question where did you buy that beautiful brown belt thank you.
Okay I am definitely not doing this for my first leg day after having to take some time off I'll probably do half of it today
I swear I'm here to change my leg day routine but hot damn!
What's the point of the belt if you're only going a quarter of the way down?
May be late to reply but you'll feel the tension on the lower back
@@RENEINDmaybe more late to reply, but what he is pointing out is Steve Cook's wacky squat form
Sudhansh Khatri maybe even more than more later to reply but I think you have a solid point
Nice workout
excelent tutorial video. .
just done this workout and felt so pumped up but when I got home I've just realised that I've skipped the calf's arghhh 😤😭
are those track shorts?? hate wearing ball shorts to gym when I finally have that tear drop to show off
Does weight training stunts growth
Amazing video
U r great motivation...keep it up bro
All that exercise and his hair is still perfect
can a leg beginner can do this routine .....
so when are u supposed to train calfs
I like it boy💪
I have a leg press similar to the one in the video except it's at a 45 degree angle, will this work instead
Can i still do the squats and deadlifts with dumbbells? Would it still work?
I will only put on a belt when doing squats over 160 kg. In my opinion wearing a belt all the time only weakens the lower back.
Awesome
For howlong should i be performing this routine ? I mean in addition to cheat-triceps / shoulders-trapz workouts ?.
how long are you rest times? ten mins?
Too much jump cuts in the editing. Can't see full range of motion.
Anyone know what song is being played at 3:09? or is it just background fill music..
I wonder what gym machine manufacturer is that ?
Anyone got substitutes for seated leg curl and leg press?
+Fornavn Etternavn back squats and lunges
Jake Meades Working out in a gym now, but thank you anyway!
Okay stupid question time: is leg day strictly leg / core workouts?
Nice bro.
Do you stretch after every exercise?
14-16 reps on front squats is wild
I have a lower lumbar injury and I've been told to not do deadliest or heavy back squats (I know this workout has front squats, just saying.)
Is there an alternative I can do to straight leg deadlifts? I don't want to aggravate my lower back.
nice vido thx
the last song is from august burns red?
Most of my gym partners hate doing legs. I always end up alone while they go back on training the upper body. -_-
Get new partners
Exactly what ^ this guy is saying haha
I seen some africans in africa training legs in another video. Ever think about going home?
lmfao
Mats Eddy Jambon I would call them girls, but even girls do legs more than guys lol.....soooo idk what 2 say
good workout :)
I love leg day. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I feel more knackered than any other workout.
Any reason for doing both standing/lying leg curl AND seated leg curl? Are there different benefits?
BigTurs peak contaction in the mid-lower portion to the upper portion of the hamstrings
Oh wow, this looks painful. I can't wait to try this workout. Looking forward to not being able to walk!
he said specifically "today, we are hitting hamstrings & quads" at 00:53
This is for massive or cutting? How to get massive legs?
Did this, sat back in the shuttle to go back home and was unable to get up and get my legs straight!! killed my legs :(
I dont have a leg press machine. Can i just do squats?
Nice gym
beast mode
Super nice legs bro
if your not a powerlifter, or a competitive athlete, Front squats are a way more effective muscle builder
what about calfs?
