can't believe you guys still on the rodeo, I remember starting working out like 5-6 years ago and watching your videos specifically to understand why I wasn't gaining any muscle LOL I started with 128 pounds not reached 177 pounds going on and off but always trying. Proud to be subscribe since then.... TRYING this next leg day LOL
Actually, Arthur Jones, whose concepts Mike took off from, said that upper and lower body are made for different tasks, being lower's task endurance. High volume workouts for lower body are better and sow bigger gains, but surely, only PED's can go beyond certain loads of workout and keep the gains consistently
"Come on Brodin, get me through this" 🙏 wheymen. ...also god damn, that Ken Burns Civil War-esque fiddle playing over Brandon hobbling up to the camera lmao Great video!
Awesome video! Reminds me of your OG ones from years ago. One thing that would make it better is if the camera person would focus on an overall zoomed-out shot during your reps. Zooming in and focusing on your upper body, along with moving the camera up and down with each rep not only is dizzy-making, but doesn’t let us see the entire movement so we can’t learn the proper form, which is one thing we watch for. Thank you for all you do for us!
Very very very impressive! I also admire Platz’s dedication and unique approach towards building legs (esp quads) and have incorporated his techniques. I wasn’t aware of the amount of VOLUME associated with his workout routine. Def eye opening and goes against traditional practices I’ve been using so worth a try
Buff Dudes should go and train with Mike Israetel and Jared Feather. Would be a fun episode 🙂 Of course an Arnold impression show down would be a must 😁
It's really interesting to see you go from super low volume HIT training to something super high volume like this, though i imagine you could do your whole week's worth of HIT gym time in less time than it took to do this 1 workout. Which do you prefer and why? If you don't mind answering, obviously.
Many don’t know how to do sponsorship, but this was awesome! The VAST majority of the content was content not slinging sponsorship and the brief pitch was good and meaning because it was being EARNED by shlogging through a Tom Platz leg day. Well done buff dudes.
I really like that theres no ego when you train. You perform the squats with 1 plate and the hack squats without anny additional weights. And you know what? Thats absolutely fine! It gets the job done and it will make you grow. Sometimes it feels like today everythings about what weight you use. Its all ego
I'd say what you're doing on the hack squat is a beginner Tom Platz sissy squat, you've gotta bridge your hips up, brace with your abs to keep your spine straight, and go as far knees over toes as you can, also gotta have the duckbill feet, heels touching and toes as wide as possible,
The hack squat variation you did is how George Hackenschmidt (who hack squats were named after) did squats. Dumbbell held behind the back, feet together, toes out, raise the heels as you come down.
Talk about a leg workout from hell. 8 x 20 for squats??! Gosh damn. I did your P1D3 leg workout today from your 12 week plan, and I’m walking around like I crapped my pants trying not to get any caca on myself. Nice job Brandon. I hope I get work myself up to that one day.
Major props to you for doing this one Brandon, took MASSIVE huevos to even attempt this. Question regarding sequence though: Would it be better to alternate between quad exercises and the others? Ex, instead of going 1 Squat, 2 Hack Squat, 3 Leg Extension, 4 Lying Leg curl, 5 calf raise, would it be better to go Squat- Leg Curl- Hack Squat- Calf Raise- Leg extension? That way you give your quads a chance to rest, while you torch something else. Or would that take away from the pump?
Man your legs is pumping like hell in front of camera. They are changing in shape and volume. And this build alot muscle. Be ready for the next days it will Hurt several days, and you'll feel hungry like hell. The best training video, really, never see this. Thank you.
The studies that say 52 sets for quads with natural lifters, only did the study on new lifters and they don't get overtrained much at all so high volume works for newbies.
Love this video!! Get me really inspired to come back to the leg training. Im figthing now cancer, but i go to the gym anyway, cant give up, im only 57 yars old and wont to survive this and training till im 85😂.
Great workout. plaz did 2 types of hack squat. One for mass one for detailing. The ine you executed is the ine for detailing. Thus great great job and execution
Leg day and seated toilet time - thats where the battle begins..... Really impressive work again man, could really tell that workout session gave you the business!
Imagine walking in the gym at 6am and seeing this dude just destroying his quads at the squat rack and thinking “I’ll wait for that rack to open up” and bro just keeps on squatting the whole time you’re there.
My question is if he did mostly quads and ham curls how did he keep up with his glutes? And also as far as reps and sets what’s the ideal for someone starting without overloading?
In college I had something close to this during powerlifting season. I would do six ascending sets of squat + 4 heavy work sets on the same. Then I would do five sets each of leg curl, leg extension, hip abduction, and donkey calf raises. Then I would do five sets of hex bar deadlift. Add to cap that off, 10 sets of hamstring stretches and calf raise normal sets. Sometimes I would hit 40 sets total in about an hour and a half. It's also why other lifters called me crazy. The squat workouts were so intense that I had to stretch for 10 minutes before and after them, then go on a 2-mile slow jog afterwards to keep my legs from cramping up all night.
Thank you!! My quads aren't growing and haven't gotten sore in a month. Been trying different routines and nothing is working. I'm definitely giving this a shot
@rivahkillah I do honestly. In fact, I'll even ask random ppl to spot me or I'll cheat the last couple. I've come to the conclusion that I'm on my feet all day walking at a brisk pace for work. So my legs never really get rest
How many sets total? I am not sure if I missed that part. Awesome video, BTW. I wonder if you could apply this concept to the chest? I wonder what that puml would be like?
He went in the gym at twilight and finished up and left the next day at twilight 😂. Leg day is probably the hardest least enjoyable group to work but without a doubt gives the most rewarding feeling of the bunch when you're done knowing you left half your life in there.
The hardest pill that anyone has to swallow be them a bodybuilder or not is that whatever works for you may not work for somebody else. Everybody wants to believe they have the magic pill for success in anything from bodybuilding to breakdancing. You can get 100 people to train exactly the same way and you’ll get many different results so you have to find what works for you.
@@T-Vegas He didn’t do the full squat routine. 125 pounds x 10 reps 225 pounds x 20 reps 325 pounds x 50 reps. Can’t blame him, how could anyone do that. I challenge anyone to do 125 pounds for 50 reps. Good luck. 💪
You can’t spell legendary without leg day… That’s absolutely brilliant lol
I have a tank that says this while Super Saiyan Vegeta is squatting haha
@@willshelby6172 I want that tshirt's link lol
That’s the best takeaway from the vid.
I'm gonna say this every single leg day from now on lol
14 year old girls everywhere had to pick their jaws up off the floor after he said that
"How many sets you got left?"
"11"
"How many sets you got left?"
"UURRGH" 🗣
LOL
Imagine if Tom was there, right when you thought you were done with a set, he'd get 5 , to 10 more reps out of you.
He would've made sure I left in a body bag.
@@buffdudeshe'd be like "do 5! Do 10! Do 15!"
You gotta love in videos of his workouts where he’s literally screaming “kill me”
Tom was on serious juice to handle that workload. Not for the mere mortals.
Baby reps! give me baby reps!
Insane pump there Brandon, looked like you could not bend your legs anymore :D solid premium content, thanks!
I'm gonna name that second exercise the Hacksaw Squat 😊

That was extremely impressive. I don't remember seeing you with that level of leg pump before. Good luck with the DOMS... 😬
I've never had a leg pump like this before, and equally I've never had DOMS this bad.
@@buffdudesmy hamstrings felt doms after stiff leg deadlifts I can only imagine what you are going through right now 😂
what is DOMS?
@@hombresdehonorenespañol Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness
@@hombresdehonorenespañoldelayed onset muscle soreness
Basically getting sore a few days after working out.
One of the best nuggets of advice I ever hears was from Mike Mentzer saying these insanely high volume workouts only really work if you're on PED's
No wonder why I can't do or I don't like to do high volume since I'm not on PEDs
Actually, Arthur Jones, whose concepts Mike took off from, said that upper and lower body are made for different tasks, being lower's task endurance.
High volume workouts for lower body are better and sow bigger gains, but surely, only PED's can go beyond certain loads of workout and keep the gains consistently
That was awesome. Tom Platz is a huge inspiration of mine. Thank you for this!

Successfully attempted these this morning at 5am (first for me)
Absolutely killed me. Great motivation vid of the quad father's routine 🙏
3 days later. still cant sit on the toilet properly 😅
Doing this at 5AM is psychotic lol, how long did it take you?
@@RvP10s 2 minutes
I'm glad you included a next day section. All through that workout I was thinking 'He's going to be sore tomorrow'.
Buff Dudes should go and train with Mike Israetel and Jared Feather. Would be a fun episode 🙂
Of course an Arnold impression show down would be a must 😁
Oh yes definitely
Tom would then bike home after..... a legend
Very good. But, can Buff Dudes do an 8 hour Rich Piana style arm workout? 😅
You guys should try a John Meadows/Dave Tate workout (maybe one with the cattle prod). Or you could do the Rich Piana 8 hour arm workout for fun.
Becoming the QUAD FATHER ain't easy. 💪💪💪
Brandon I absolutely love this haircut of yours.
Me too.
I used to do his methodology on leg days. I changed pants size 2x in 6 months. It worked amazing for me. And yeah the doms lasted like 4-7 days.
What is odm
Maybe he meant DOMS as in delayed muscle soreness and it was typi
that's right thanks for the correction.. @@chawaphiri1196
Did you train legs once a week?
Video 9 of reminding you guys of how much of an inspiration you are to us all. Love love

Great video fellas. I listen to this during my leg days and Brandon moaning in pain gives me reason to keep pushing
“Quad Father” you nailed it
Hats off dude, that's brutal! I tend to do maybe 20 sets for a leg day total so that's insane. Where did your source this workout out of interest?
David Hoffmann did a training with Tom a view years ago for the Mr. Olympia here on YT.
Now, I love doing back squats, but my gods, there are limits. I could feel the burn through my screen!
Yeah Another legend after Mike got covered by Buff Dudes. It was delight watching it, u crushed it Brandon 🔥
Many don’t know how to do sponsorship, but this was awesome! The VAST majority of the content was content not slinging sponsorship and the brief pitch was good and meaning because it was being EARNED by shlogging through a Tom Platz leg day. Well done buff dudes.
Most inspirational workout I’ve seen in a while. Gonna try it out next time I train legs.
I did the workout when I was in my prime, and I’ll never forget the pain. Not of the workout, but the 3-4 days after.
I really like that theres no ego when you train. You perform the squats with 1 plate and the hack squats without anny additional weights. And you know what? Thats absolutely fine!

Loved your work and it shows so much respect for Mr universe Tom platz you did him proud doing this video.

Love this one! Love Tom Platz/Buff Dudes!
Love the Airforce 1’s High Tops for this insane leg workout 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽
Thanks for the work, enjoyed the video
you guys should give rich pianas 8-hr arm day a go
I enjoy that ... I learned something. I think a series of this would be awesome.....Arnold's chest. Dorian's back. Larry Scott's arms. So on...
Talk about a leg workout from hell. 8 x 20 for squats??! Gosh damn. I did your P1D3 leg workout today from your 12 week plan, and I’m walking around like I crapped my pants trying not to get any caca on myself. Nice job Brandon. I hope I get work myself up to that one day.
Bro the editting at the leg extensions was epic. In my mind I heared the Nazgul theme from LOTR, I felt those reps
happy Halloween Buff Dudes and family!
Major props to you for doing this one Brandon, took MASSIVE huevos to even attempt this.

Check out the YT video of Tom Platz putting John Meadows through Platz squats. Really great.
Great job and excellent effort! Search the leg workout Tom Platz took John Meadows through…also legendary.
Running this with the boys tomorrow
How was it, mate? 😁
The studies that say 52 sets for quads with natural lifters, only did the study on new lifters and they don't get overtrained much at all so high volume works for newbies.
I remember Tom Platz from the 80’s. Go for it 💪💪
Shoot man you survived, congratulations but I bet you felt that the next two days, I feel the pain just watching this rock on🤘🏼
I love the attention to 80s detail.
Man, this video is getting me PUMPED to go get a PUMP!
Great Pump progression! Aye Brandon did the dang thang. Shout out for doing a legendary workout from a Legendary man on some Legendary kicks AF1 W/W
Curious how long that routine took you, looked killer!!
Love the old school equipment. Glad you could walk the next day.
Few people can endure that.
Congratulations it was incredible.
Amazing craftsmanship, thank you for the insightful video.
That looked painful just watching, but wow your quads looked like they were about to explode at the end.
Bro. I did 10 sets of 10 with 225 lbs on squats and that KILLED me. Kudos to you for doing this!!! 🎉
Even after 40 years the best quads STILL belong to Tom Platz 🤘
Love this video!! Get me really inspired to come back to the leg training. Im figthing now cancer, but i go to the gym anyway, cant give up, im only 57 yars old and wont to survive this and training till im 85😂.
They don’t call Platz the Quadfather for nothing!
Bend, Oregon XCEL gym. Love that gym. I go there on Christmas leave. Makes me motivated to hit legs when I visit 💪🏽
Toilet squatting gonna be rough for a few days after this. 😂
Tom Platz was a madman!
Great workout. plaz did 2 types of hack squat. One for mass one for detailing. The ine you executed is the ine for detailing. Thus great great job and execution
HOW ARE YOU NOT SWEATING?

Never thought I’d be in a buff dudes video that’s crazy

One the best video in a while,more of this kind of grinding 💪💪💪😎😜
training hard is just one factor for success, the others being rest, food, supplements, genes to name a few.
We all know the rest
Idk what’s harder to watch, the intense leg pump or the creasing of beautiful all white Air Force ones during the back squats lol
Someone tell me what the soundtrack is during those squats!!
Nice quads dude!
Best form I’ve seen in a long time

I've done it a few times and this isn't for the weak of heart. hardest part is the squats after that everything else is smooth sailing.
I havent watched any other videos , is it normal for this guy not to sweat?
Wow this is a lot like my leg day. Not as extreme but it’s enough for me to get a pump. Gonna try harder and go for this one
You got this!😅
He’s working out in Air Force 1s I respect it
13:50 Sounds like the camera guy tapped a car tire. 😂
Thank you!! My quads aren't growing and haven't gotten sore in a month. Been trying different routines and nothing is working. I'm definitely giving this a shot
If you’re pushing to failure every workout, take a week to deload before trying this.
You should be trying to increase in weight per rep, or reps per set almost every time you work out.

twice per month. lots of time for recovery
