It's duchon, back with another one. Big fan of this guy's simple routines. It takes the guesswork and complexities out of the equation.
thanks man, no need to overcomplicate things 💪🏼
@@richard_duchon 9:56 Can you share with us a leg workout at home for those persons who can’t afford a gym membership?
The one and the only legend. We say hi from Africa where bodybuilding is literally challenging and hard. I’ve been following you for a while. You are my motivation 🔥🔥
This makes me feel seen. i do all these and not a barbell squats because i have shit ankle mobility from old breaks and even with good form it puts pressure on my curved spine so all these variations truly help and its good to see someone post about it.
As a tall lifter with most of my height coming from my femur length, ive found doing squats extremely difficult, so seeing this video knowing you can still build huge legs without squats makes me feel much better,
Same boat bud, 6'3 over here and my torso is like a foot long😂
Have you tried elevating your heels while squatting? Helped me out
Tried gear like this guy is on?
There is a reason you don't see many tall men with big wide quads even if they work out. The muscle is longer so it doesn't appear as wide
@@helios4425 just have to work harder
This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks man!
Those type of exercices suit me very well , according to my hip issue ...
thanks for sharing 👍👍👍💪🏼
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.
This one’s great! 🙌🏼 Gonna do this workout on Friday. 🔥
Came in to the gym 5am saying god i hate squats...that first exercise my god thats harder then it looks..love it alteady feel every single rep! Thanks for this, been looking for something diff than squats🇨🇦🏋🏻♂️💪🏼
This is awesome. My next month Leg session, no squats/a break .Following this routine. Thanks @Duchon
How was it? Do you feel it works?
Always giving the best tips man 🙌🏻👏🏻 #KeepItSimple
Since I got to forty years old and just started back in the gym after two-three years out . I have used the smith machine for squats and calve raises . My legs are far from massive , but in two months I have seen the muscle shape and develop and had no lower back problems and find my form is loads better
Grande Richard ! 💪💪 Great video
THanks for showing us your way Richard , i learn alot!
No one can motivate me more than you bro
I wish I could to these exercises like you but I am still fat and unfit. I am trying so hard though. I train everyday. I got the best meal plan from NextLevel Diet. I hope I will get in shape fast so I can start with some calisthenic then. Wish me some luck boys and girls!!
Good luck, just train hard
Fat = 80% diet. Every time I've lost weight, I did on diet alone and zero exercise.
You'll get there. Consistency is key
@@chidipablo624 I hope so
Yep same here my legs are growing just fine with out squats since they cause me to much pain from injuries they are not needed at all simple leg press variations close and wide stance high slow control reps everything is super set as well you don’t even need to go to heavy as well if it’s slow and controlled makes it hard
Very nice workout!! I'll use this leg training for now on. Thank you!
This is great because squats and deadlifts actually cause me a lot of pain, especially in my lower back/hip, even had someone look me over for technique, change of position etc and nothing helps, so it's nice to see they're not mandatory.
How are you doing with the pain now? Has this helped and have you seen improvement in side and strength?
I just finished a leg day. I tried that step back lunge on the smith machine. Wow! Best pump I've ever gotten with just a plate a side! Thank you!!
Such badass training dude!!!🤘🏻🔥
thanx bro nog meer geleerd van jouw 💪ben zelf geen squat fun. hoop nog meer video’s te zien well done 👍🏻
v creative alternative movements on the machines, I’ll be sure to try these, thank you !
I'm glad to see another of your videos 😍it's been a while 👍
Great content man! Just implemented some exercises from this video into my routine :)
I like that you can tell you're an avid body builder and still recommend machines, most people I talk to cringe at the thought of using a machine and said you wont get gains unless you use freeweights.
Just did this today. My new favorite leg day when I need a break from squatting
Great video thanks Richard ❤️
This will be my new go to leg workout, thank you
I like your video cause it's simple, straight to the point on working out your legs.
Thank you! I want to train my legs without doing squats!! You are an example to get beautiful trained legs without squats! Gives me hope to get some nice legs too!! 😬
Squats suck ass, totally. But make no mistake, they benefit not just your legs but whole body and make a more anabolic environment within the body (if done properly with good form). I trained first 4-5 years without doing squats and everything but. I had decent legs too, but when I started squatting and squatting heavy. My legs exploded and whole body got bigger and better.
this guy does not miss any workouts
Hey Richard, glad you didn't try to get in a locker, since it is leg day. I remember that from one of your prior videos....LOL. I to, have to put insoles in all of my shoes due to foot pain.....they do help a lot. I have never done reverse lunges and will try them today. Thanks for sharing and have a great week.
Good advice. I do different squat-variations because it has worked the best for me. But for people who hate or can't do barbell squats I'd highly recommend hack squats. It enables you to get a below 90 degrees range of motion and you can put on more weight since your back is supported. One of the best leg-exercises in my opinion!
Completely agree, and pendulum squats. My gym I go to has just got a pendulum squat machine and wow what a killer.
@@ESKATEUK That's nice I wish my gym had one, it seems like a great exercise as well!
That’s what I also do hack squats
No doubt. I recently starting using the hack squat machine and have seen good results. I had spine surgery and, as a result, I have lumbar hardware.
@@mrtheorogelio do you do the regular hawk squat or reverse ?
Thank you so much for sharing brother!
Awesome video !!! Perfect !!
Fabulous stuff mate
Really liked it awesome. Thanks alot!!
definitely giving this a go today!
Amazing workout variations.. 🔥
I was looking for this because I had back surgery last september. It wasnt a major surgery, but i have been getting back into legs and only doing certain things so im looking to branch outmore. Thanks for the vid!
Love the reverse lunge, can't wait to try it !
Thank you that was amazing it’s great to know that there’s other ways to build your legs thank you
the leg king
Just worked out. Adding this tomorrow
Wea you been brothaa ..good to see you back!!
I like the routine, looks so good I will start doing it tomorrow, I also used to live in Heerlen, actually in Maastricht I pretty like the gym options I find in the Netherlands, specially from Basic fIt, thanks for your videos.
Thanks soo! much for this workout routine 🥰💋
Thanks for sharing Richard
Excellent teacher
Thank you for the most uncomplicated leg workout 💪
Bro i seriously love you
You just earned a subscription from me. Your legs are amazing 👏 I hope to achieve that as well. I will try that thus week!
Great vid. Thanks!!
I love squats, I'll always do them as long as my body allows. With that said, you got good results, keep up the great work amigo.
Agreed I’ll never stop squatting !
Love this💪🏼
this gonna be my next set plan
LOVE THIS VIDEO 💪🏿
Those reverse lunges are more effective and complete than squats. That is why he do not need squats. If he eliminate those lunges ( and gear , of course)will not have legs.
I like using the idea of using the leg extension for a standing hamstring curl. I can never get the settings right on the other machines and dont feel like I'm getting the the best out of the exercise. Will defo give it a go
My quads hurt just looking at this video. Great work out line up. Trying next leg day.
This dude naturally has a good build for lifting and gaining muscle.
Nice leg program! I know it will work well. Here’s my experience - for years, My legs would not grow significantly until…..I started doing Bulgarian squats. Haha! You mentioned you weren’t looking forward to them. I
Must admit, they are so painful and make me gulp for air, but so damn effective for muscle growth.
It took me a while (weeks) to get the balance, control and fluidity of this exercise to maximize growth. Once, I mastered that, my legs grew like a weed and are separated with good shape. I don’t have to pile on heavy weights like traditional squats or leg presses. Just some light dumbbells are more than enough. At first, I used just bodyweight. One thing though, they are hard to do keeping tempo and squeezing at top. Burn is fiery intense and very unpleasant but rewarding. Major soreness for days post. However, the growth was so satisfying!!
Great content!! I’ve been always trying to vary my workout to confuse my muscle without sacrificing strength and growth. I totally agree with your workout today and will definitely do this on my next leg day.
I usually set an alarm for a random time during the night. I keep a loaded barbell right next to my bed, and when that alarm is set off I do 20 reps RPE 9 ATG squats, to maximally confuse the muscles.
this is your problem. always trying to vary...
bad idea...
He's still doing squats. You could not figure out that squat on your own??
@@SnowboredK 🤣
@peace why are you replying to me? and what do you mean?
That's great, keeping it simple
Thank You!
Thanks for sharing, I love it. Great legs muscle 💪
Very nice video thank you this will really help me on my skinny chicken leg bulk
Loved it bro
Thanks bro !
Deadly topic
Very strong Richard greets fron germany 🤙💯💪
Looks like a great leg routine. I’ll try it in on my next leg day thx!
Amazing quality content Richard!
Just in all curiousity but what is the main reason you prefer reverse lunges instead of forward lunges?
My favorites are 1) Hack Squat, 2) Romanian Deads with the Hex/trap Bar (with heels elevated) and 3) Dumbbell Front Squat!
reverse lunges are easier because you’re balancing on the foot that stays in place, with forward lunges you’re balancing on the foot that you’re taking a step forward with and that’s a lot harder. Hope that makes sense, you can also only do reverse lunges when using the smith machine
@@richard_duchon
Makes completely sense!! That's a huge benefit I have never thought about!
Good form, I’m a fan of the smith machine I use it for many exercises especially for my back and chest but never for legs, which I’m going to try
Holy shit your form is amazing!
Ty , I have a hip issue so squats are out for me. I will add these exercises on my next leg day.
Great Leg workout 🙏
I have bad knees and squatting even in good form, hurts my knees. Thank you so much for this
Thank you nice work from Afghanistan
Great video, obviously it works
Because of a shoulder injury I can’t hold up the barbell on normal back squats with out having a ton of pain and it just makes it so unfun for me. It’s definitely giving me hope that I don’t have to do squats to get big legs. Im just starting out but am only using machines for now and I definitely feel sore and work hard on my sets so I hope to see some good progress. Thanks for the video
THANK YOU !!!
Thank you, Bro ~
thanks from sweden,great legs👍🇸🇪
Will try these exercices for a change 🙂
Excellent.
I thought I was alone but I have noticed better results using less weight performing lunges than squats!!
Try all stars hi-tops for leg day. They're sweet for stability!
Very good thanks .
Been squatting for 33 years no problem whatsoever nothing wrong with squats being a lazy Ass is the real issue for most people who gripe about the exercise !
Bingo. When I go to the gym, I go to push my limits and embrace the pain of progress.
Love the approach! Impressive results! Have a comment on the RDL though - mostly because of beginners watching your routine. You are not hinging at the hips - looking at the video your hips are essentially motionless and all the movement comes from your upper body (bending at the waist). It still does the trick as you are very strong and maintain straight back. But in reality your back is exposed and you could find ways to further improve form.
🔥🔥🔥
He's doing a stiff legged deadlift. You can do them with the knees slightly bent, as he is doing in this video, or with the legs straight, which emphasizes the stretch in the hamstrings. His form is very good, it's just that he got the name of the exercise wrong in the video.
Great routine. Certainly will try it since I personally do not incorporate squatting into my routine. However, technically, the majority of the compound movements were single leg squats 😆
Nice my dude take for the tips I’ll do that tomorrow it’s leg day for me aging
This is essentially my leg day routine, but i do squat from time to time to build core endurance and lower back strength
cool man, varying excersises, had something out of a couple of these
Best leg workout in a Long time🦵crazy pump😍🔥
It’s encouraging to see your leg development without squats. Did you ever do a lot of squats in the beginning to build them?
Lunges and Bulgarian splits are squat variations like one legged squats
I mainly appreciate yr aesthetic calves profile
I have a struggle with balance when I do reverse lunges and Bulgarian split squats. The Smith is a good idea. I've never done squats and have focused on lunge varieties over the years.
