I pace untill I fall over or slump on to a wall. I hate not moving after sets( I used to run track) I don't need warm ups, but I Require cool downs. I idea of still rest after a set scares me
True, doesn't mean it's easier though 😅. But once you had a ton of systemic fatigue so that you became an empty shell for a few weeks you know it's worth it. For me the most important thing was to just stop thinking about the weight and just make sure I'm at or close to failure in the right rep range, do that for a few months and then once you mastered that technique you can start to program progression in weight again, in the meantime just work with sets and RIR
Lol their reps take like 8 seconds to complete...so for his 20 rep sets. It'll take minutes for 1 set. Which is now an endurance movement not a muscle.building movement
I used to always watch interesting videos about the target I had for the next day. I keep flexible workouts so I could always try new stuff getting worked in.
Truth be told, when I want info on lower body workouts, I tend to listen to the ladies more because they're definitely more invested in building great legs 😂
good advice! Most guys ive trained with tend to neglect glutes, hams and stabiliser hip muscles. One even said «I only train quads because thats what you see in the mirror» and even his deadlift was sumo stance to target quads💀
@@susannemoseidbryhni9898 I used to only do hack squats because I hadn't figured out to match my deadlift stance for squats. I'd rather get all the back I can use than just show off in shorts from the front.
Same. For the guys I go for upper body work and for Lower body work I definitely go to the women for advice. Each group most of the time are more invested in one section and go light on the other.
So many excellent tips, new ideas and LOLs as always, but the personal highlights were elevated front foot lunges, Dr Mike's "I don't even workout" and Kayla's tears of 'joy' followed immediately by such a beautifully infectious smile. These ladies are clearly in incredible shape because they're not afraid to completely empty the tank and flog themselves which is also so cool to watch.
@@domepiece11 Yep & they had her performing them on an elevated platform. Her functional hamstring strength is so amazing, I don’t think she could break form if she wanted to 😅
Keep in mind, the Five stars are based on my needs for this item th-cam.com/users/postUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS When I first bought the bike I was going to return it immediately. After trying it out for several days/weeks I came to realize it is actually perfect for WHY I bought it.This is not a workout, the resistance is, eh, it makes a bit of noise, not loud, and it isn’t very stable even with the mat. The mat certainly keeps the bike from sliding but nothing keeps the mat from sliding (if that makes any sense, lol). Mine is place on my hard wood floor. Maybe it would be better with a rug underneath??I sit for long hours for work and wanted something to keep my legs moving. This bike does exactly that! For the price it is amazing, it is compact, easy to use, light weight, keeps track of time, calories etc (not sure how accurate it is) but good little product. I am happy with it.
I was thinking 3 exercises, yeah ok. However, like the guy from the film Memento, we forget the basics, that quantity isn't king. Tempo control for hypertrophy has greater utility. The video of the girls writhing in pain, barely able to stand, is a reminder of the effectiveness. Great video.
This is what it takes, inspiring not just for leg training but whatever muscle. Too many people approach their sets like a walk in the park when really it should be a trip to hell. I absolutely hate SLDL and RDL's so usually pussy out and just use the seated leg curl. I have really tight/weak hamstrings so going to put my big boy pants on and start doing some RDLs and accept I am weak in this area and pain and discomfort is the only way I am going to improve.
Been using the Smith machine a lot more recently, thanks to you Mike. Starting doing front foot elevated Bulgarian split squats in the Smith machine not too long ago and they're absolutely brutal. I can get a crazy range of motion and I also pause at the bottom to exaggerate that stretch. I was sore for days first time I did, and I usually don't get that sore (Not because I don't train hard, but because I have a high work capacity)
Just now getting back into the gym after a 8-9 year pause due to health and injuries. Love seeing this type of effort. Very inspiring and makes me want to go harder than the last time. Dedication and drive like a Mac truck. Love it.
I just did this workout and I am f-ing blasted. It was awful. And beautiful. Loved it. Question: i couldnt get faikure on the body weight squats--cardio and potential for vomiting was the limiting factor for me. Thx Dr. Mike.
Watching this literally threw me into a sweat. I’ve done these at my personal extremes, so I could feel every muscle twitch these women experienced😵💫. That was a brutal 16 minute clip. I need to lie down. Phew!
Started strength training in April 23’ and coming now to a wall… seen great results so far just on my own knowledge.. but as a FEMALE, there’s hardly any vids like this…. Please more work out like a girl vids 😢😊 ❤❤❤
I’m most definitely going to try this on my next leg day thanks yall those girls are straight warriors thanks brothers for your technique and skills that you bring to the table
They looked like they were in true pain. Motivating AF! Today is my lunge day. Gonna give those smith lunges a try! EDIT: they were horrific in the best way possible :D
Remind me in a couple of days and I'll let you know. What I do know is that stairs are a problem for me right now. Edit: didn't need reminding, the pain was a big enough reminder. Day 1 after was tough but Day 2... oh my lord! I can barely walk.
It would be great if someone (and by someone I mean jacked guy with a phd) would make a video for leg workout for us with L4, L5, S1 problems ( I imagine there is a sea of such individuals out there)
Hey Mike. I know you teach slow eccentrics, but are there any negatives hypertrophy-wise to doing really slow eccentrics (3-4 seconds) since it drastically reduces the weight lifted (and thereby mechanical tension?)? I've programmed 3 second eccentrics on all lifts for my bulk training plan, since it helps with my technique and proprioception (which is kind of lacking). Great video as always.
Just discovering this channel. This makes so much sense. Now I don't feel pressured to put three 45s on each end, but at the same time, what does this mean? Do that many people (including me) have the wrong form? Really looking for an answer from anyone who has one! Thanks to the content creators.
Girl: low back hurts Guy: good that's part of the exercise Uhhhhh. No. That's bad advice. Please, no one do RDLs if your having back pain. 🙄 RDLs should not cause back pain. Form is either wrong or you have an abdominal weakness.
can just say what i do: i do like a 30 s pause only cause i barely use the rear leg and just need some fresh air. And for the case its pre fatiqued i see nothing wrong with this training wise. Maybe start with the weaker leg :) (personaly i do rpe of 8-10 and do the reps of the weaker legs on the stronger leg to keep it balanced. Disclaimer: I do some leg stuff for pk and climbing, so my target isnt becoming quadzilla ^^
Good quality reps, no cheating, perfect form, pushed to the n'th degree. Great way to showcase intensity and the limit you should set yourself. I'll set it just shy of what they went through 😂.
If I did this, I wouldn't be able to lift again for a week or ten days. How does this fit in with the "you don't need to train to failure to grow" philosophy? Is it just a matter of conditioning yourself to tolerate this kind of destruction, or is it intended as a "special occasion" workout, designed to break plateau or mix things up when feeling stagnant?
Ya..........I'd never go that deep on the leg press. I mean if you want to destroy your knees or find out what a hernia feels like, that's the way to do it. Maybe if you're still young but as you get older that's danger man.
Is that Smith machine basically straight up and down? The one at my gym is on a bit of an angle, not sure if it's as great for legs or if I should adjust anything for squats for example
I’m jealous of kaylas flexibility she’s there touching the floor on a box and I’m over here struggling to do rdl’s/sldl’s cause they keep giving me fucking sciatica!!! Damn you kayla!!!!
It’s essentially the equivalent of butt wink on a squat. You generally want to avoid it. Your low back is quickly going between extension and flexion under heavy loads. It can be a recipe for a disc injury. That’s why they had the woman with the massive quads reduce her depth on the SLDL.
A woman with legs like that failing a bodyweight squat shows how monstrous this workout really was.
@chrisdague5153😂😂😂
size = burst strength but not endurance. Doing it this slow isn't how most of us train. This is more taxing.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Too big tho. That ain't hot😢
@@MemeTeam6900okay but one doesn't train to be hot. One can have any legs they like. Aalso hot is subjective
You don't know the next sentence that will come out of Mike's mouth. In the moment, neither does he. We're all on this roller coaster together.
Last sentence is a Dr Mike normal quip
I doubt a more perfection description is possible
It’s a beautiful ride
I've never read such a perfect comment before 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would NEVER lie down after a workout! Not because I'm built different, I just don't train hard enough.
LOLLLLL - Dr. Mike
Once you pushed squats and deadlifts in the 10-20 rep range to failure you will know what it's like 😉

FUHCK YEAH !!!!!
That was insane, I don't think they will be fully recovered in the next 3 or 4 days. At least, as a natural,i think I would probably need a week...
ROFL when they were forced to stay in that bottom-of-squat position and bravely tried to get up but couldn't :D
Great workout! That's what training to failure looks like.
But how often one should train this hard?
Does the stimulus-to-fatigue ratio worth it?
Do it in the last week of a mesocycle of 4-8 weeks
Not every week of your mesocycle. You will die lol. Mike usually says last week before deload.

Uhhhhh. No. That's bad advice. Please, no one do RDLs if your having back pain. 🙄 RDLs should not cause back pain.
Form is either wrong or you have an abdominal weakness.
Correct. Your low back should not hurt during a deadlift of any sort.
On the lunges, do you do both legs directly after one another or do you take a 1-2 min break before doing the 2nd leg?

I know that feeling. She looks exactly how I feel after every one of those sets. We had a moment there.
How do we train like this at home without the equipment? That was amazing!!
Which way should you face if using an angled smith machine for the reverse lunges?
I know Kayla was thinking about creasing those shoes on the smith lol
Thoughts on a person’s lower back rounding at bottom of leg press?
Dr Mike did a video on this not too long ago. A pad under the butt helps 😊
I’m having this issue still too. Even like micro movements of my pelvis aggravate my SI joint issues. I’m thinking I need a lumbar support.
It’s essentially the equivalent of butt wink on a squat. You generally want to avoid it. Your low back is quickly going between extension and flexion under heavy loads. It can be a recipe for a disc injury. That’s why they had the woman with the massive quads reduce her depth on the SLDL.
13 minute mark is the best. Both ladies on the same machine but only one is putting in real work.
