- If you ever wondered whether you could cut it as an NFL player, you first have to see if you can make it through an NFL football workout. In this video, I take former Green Bay Packers Super Bowl Champion Greg Jennings through a dynamic leg workout to help him build explosive strength and athleticism. See if you can keep up as you follow along this complete leg workout.

To start, we have to make sure we warmup. Most of the time, people turn their warmups into workouts by making them too long. The only goal of your warmup should be to prepare your body to be capable of performing the exercises of the workout without form compromise or injury. The leg swings and hurdle unders are two of the fastest ways to mobilize the hips and muscles of the legs to prepare you for the work to come.
First exercise up is the banded box squat. As part of a lower body dynamic workout, the goal for this training is not strength. Instead, you want to focus on speed of movement and overall athleticism and power. This means that the overall system load you want to subject yourself to is about 60 to 75 percent of your 1RM in combined resistance (from both bands and the weight on the bar). Ideally, you will put about 20-30% of this in the form of bands.
Realize, in the case of this example, Greg is being represented as a 300 pound squatter. Sixty percent of this would be 180lbs. With one hundred and thirty five pounds on the bar and fifty pounds in band resistance, we are able to reach the goal system weight total. Keep in mind, this resistance is only realized at the top of the movement where the bands are fully stretched. At lower depths, the bands are more slack and there is less tension being contributed to the bar.
This does help to match up the strength curve of the added resistance to the natural resistance of the squat as an exercise however.
Next, we perform a combination of a front side loaded bulgarian front squat with a backside loaded version. The difference is simply the position of the body in space. When standing upright, the load is going to be borne by the quads primarily. When leaning forward, the hamstrings and glutes will take the lion’s share of the workload. The key in either environment is not to place your front foot up on a box if your back foot stays on the floor. This either limits range of motion of the working leg or completely eliminates the tension on this leg at the top of the rep.
To finish up the workout, you have to add more to this banded exercises and unilateral leg exercise. It’s important to include a dynamic jumping or sprinting exercise. In both cases, you can either do a straight vertical exercise, horizontal exercise or change of direction movement. Here we do twisting box jumps for that athletic change of direction.
The reps should be kept precise and at high energy. If you find that you are fatiguing and that the quality of the jump is declining then you need to stop your set and regroup before continuing.
Finally, the hip hinge is a critical component that needs to be trained. We choose the cable pull through as a great option to get this done. Just like the upper body equivalent, the face pull, it is key that you fire up the right muscles here to perform this exercise correctly. Make sure that the often underactive glutes are what does the work here by keying on their firing and sequencing on every rep you perform.
This is just a sample of one type of lower body workout that an NFL player might do. Of course, you want to be sure that you are working on your max effort strength levels as well.

i ordered one of Jeff's shirts online
when it arrived, the box was empty
The box was for box squats, not for shirts
Lol
@@JmgStrength lmao
Don't be greedy, if you got an Athlean X box, just take it and be happy.
Now that was funny lol
When jeff drives, he doesnt let go of the gas pedal till he feels his calf contract
lmfaoo
true story.
😂😆😂😆
I don’t normally browse the comments on this channel expecting laughs but
That was funny
Lol
Jeff should definitely post more athletic videos like this one and the AB one
abhivideos101 Fax 📠❗️❗️
Especially with different kinds of athletes, soccer, basketball etc
Yes! This is functional training right?
Fabian A Definitely this is the point of the athletic approach seen in this video
Athletes don't want to be all up in people's TH-cam videos....
Can we all appreciate how Jeff is a top caliber trainer who literally trains some of the best athletes in the world, and he gives us hundreds of hours of content for free?
Jeff once punched a guy with his shoulders externally rotated, the guy died
Hahaha
Akira Trolliyama 👏🏻🤣
🤣🙂🤣🤣🤣
Jeff took a lie detector test
Tha machine confessed every thing.
🤣🤣🤣
Machine: "I haven't been doing facepulls lately😔"
@@mojo6112 oh no..
Hilarious
Jennings is 5’11 and Jeff claimed he is 5’10.5 . I think he lied about that as seen on the video
4:20 warmup
6:20 box squat
11:36 / 14:25 2 versions of the BG split
17:40 twisting box jumps
20:00 hip hinge cable-pull
perform all as shown, explosively. see description for reps and sets
Thanks Man
Never thought I’d see them playing Xbox in the X-Box
Ken Alleyne 🤣💯
Searched the comment section for this comment. I'm not disappointed.
I tried to train like OJ Simpson but that workout was murder
lol
Hey Twitter world, it's ya man OJ.
My Mike vick workout had me dogged
OJ workout left me with a stabbing pain in my back
Colin kaepernick workout I never even broke a sweat just kneeling
Adrian Peterson had me beat, no KIDding
The Ray rice workout really knocked out my wife
"If you ever wondered whether you could cut it as an NFL player..." No, Jeff. I have never wondered that.
Shit was made clear in 8th grade.
@@BigstickNick I felt that
@@BigstickNick loool
When I'm paid like a pro athlete, I'll train like one.
I'm good with not straining a muscle getting up to pee in the middle of the night. 😀
I lost gains because I didn't see Jesse's intro
It kills brain cells, beware.
Why watching Jesse's intro is killing your gains
Next video
Edwin Cristobal yeh, bring back the intro!! 💯
Can you do a ”Train like a UFC fighter” next?
I second this
Featuring Firas Zahabi
Yeah
just watch Nadi Agular's channel and do the exact opposite
mma fighter*
Jeff can you train Gurley so he gives me some damn fantasy points
Traded him for Saquads and im happy. Barkley playoff schedule easy
@@wwaazzaa100 just traded for Bell, pretty happy about it
Productive You no you aren’t
@@olgacantu4179 que?
I appreciate Greg talking about how the exercise feels, those comparisons, etc. It pairs well with Jeff explaining why he chose them. That's why I love this channel.
A year ago today exactly. I was 6’1 220 pounds and a freshman in college. I wasn’t exactly fat but I was getting chubby from not playing football anymore and the whole freshman 15 hit me pretty hard. I ate like shit. Didn’t do anything. Felt depressed about it. But then I swear to god I was on TH-cam being a lazy ass and saw your video on when to know if you’re training hard enough. That inspired me to start training every single day. 4-day program. Push. pull. legs. cardio & core. Repeat. I am now in absolutely amazing shape. Not bragging or anything but I’m jacked. I’ve been communicating with the coaches here at Texas A&M University and they seem to believe in me. They got me in contact with some of the schools personal trainers and next year I’m going to walk on. I know you probably will never see this but thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I'm excited for Athlean-X to become Jesse and Greg Jennings' let's play channel.
Best video yet. Greg was an excellent student. Love what he said to Jesse "To you this is a game, to me its my life" Thanks much Jeff. All the best.
TRAIN LIKE A FOOTBALL PLAYER
(starts of playing madden on xbox)
Madden: Vital to muscle Recovery!
@@tdh72 LMFAO
Cesar Garcia 😂💯
Gotta train the mind
“Greg Jennings, I put the team on my back though”. Haha I love that throw back reference to one of the most classic hilarious TH-cam videos of all time 😂
I've been working on my hamstrings for a while now and its tough.. I like them more in slices
Dude, I'm in 8th grade and have been following Jeffs workouts for about a year and have seen massive changes I bigger than the average junior football player and I'm coming in as a freshman lol Just found this and I am already sharing it with my friends at school thank you very much, sir!
Hey Jeff, since all muscles matter, can u do a video on the tibialis anterior, you haven't done in 1066 videos
Why though?
For real tho
Muscle markers please
Yeah when is shin day?
Jeff the people have spoken
Yooooo I was just asking about this like a week ago and here it is. Jeff coming through! Also I’m a huge Packers fan, thanks Jeff
Darren Sharper.. one of the most hardest hitting safeties in the leeeeeege.. he put the team on his back tho
shame about the rape lol
Wonder what Jeff would say bout him playing the whole game w a broken leg
Artie Bucco Iconic
Hi jeff my name is Leovigildo Mota im from the dominican republic and i watch your videos and i relly love them,to be honest i had learn o lot from your videos and i keep learning,i own a small gym here in D,R AND I HELP o lot of people using what i learned from your videos,you actually change the way i workout and train others,love your videos,i think you do a great job.
A “Train like a Basketball Player” video would be awesome! Thanks for all you do Jeff!
Didn’t think I could love this channel more & then you bring on Greg Mother F🤘cking Jennings!!!! I love the Packers & I love Greg💚💛💚 Go Pack Go!
What's the secret to explosiveness Jeff?
Jeff: FACE PULLS!
Jeff’s is the only channel that can draw my attention to watch a video for over 25 mins during the TNF game. He always demonstrates and clearly explains the rationale behind each movement that really helps a simpleton like me incorporate these lifts into my workouts. And major kudos to Greg Jennings for putting himself front and center for this workout. Keep up the outstanding work. Thanks guys!
Love to see pro atheletes come on the channel and still be amazed with Jeff's workouts
Greg seems like such a good listener. 16:46 - really thoughtful comment right there.
nike shoes with adidas pants, this guy must be a dad. I respect this man, he is real.
accidentally dislike this video but absolutely love how you prioritize the necessary body maintenance to keep your body functioning optimally.
I wouldn’t mind more videos about taking the necessary steps to prep your body for its best performance. I’m currently taking my kinesiology degree but your practical understanding is setting a standard for me to do so. I aim to make myself the best Athlete I can be, more aware of how my body works how to achieve my goals and how to stay healthy and injury free. Mean while I value your advice as The knowledge of training to fill in the gaps.
Training in the most effective and safe way for performance and long term health is very valuable to me. Thanks for all the tips.👍
"He put the weight on his back doe, greeeeg jenniiiings"
ON HIS BACK DOEEE!!!
I was like if no one says it I will!
All time Packers fan, right here. Born and bred in Wisconsin! I should win the contest right there! 😃
TH-cam should remove the dislike button from this channel.
I strongly agree 👍
Remove the haters hitting it
@Lethwei Mauithai haha!
Be a boss and stop giving a fuck about such things when you finish reading my comment.
@Jason Hammond ture 👌
You know typically people who can afford trainers and such get access to information like this but I'm so damn glad he puts it out there for everyone.
I thought he was gonna show a new exercise called the kettlebell-QB-Helmet-Smash🏈
David T brilliant! 🤣💯
I am getting one of these shirts! For this video alone, this guy is the real deal!
the internet needs you guys to collab with Dom Mazzetti (bro science life)
One of your best videos. I wish people did not ask meaningless size all the time, so that we could have your specialty: athletic results
17:43 this is what makes a distinction between jeff and others. waow what a perfect jump
That was not a jump, he threw and caught the earth with his feet.
Watching this, hearing what he's saying, getting goosebumps.
Jesse finally gets an intro at the actual into of the video 🙏🏼
The forward and backward push was a great explanation.
13:38 "How you position your body in space is going to have a distinct determination on what muscles are working."😄
-Jeff "the man cannon" Cavalier 🤔
... Haha I'll see myself out😣
17:43
20:30
Coach, please make a similar video for the upper body. Respect from South Italy, keep it athletic
VIDEO REQUEST: SAVE US ALL FROM "SHIN SPLINTS"
SINCERELY, ALL THE PEOPLE WHO RUN
Laly M. Great idea!
We all have something when we run too much, for me it’s my hip flexor, for some it’s their knee, for some their ankle, and for a lot shin splints. I think ur supposed to do a warmup before you run so like run a mile at regular pace, stretch after for 30 secs each muscle, but especially stretch the calf’s but only for 30 seconds, after the run maybe do some calf raises to strengthen the calfs, and stretch calfs after the run
Laly M. Sorru I mean stretch calfs after the run if your not gonna workout your calves or legs after your run, or stretch the cAlfs after your leg workoit
Greg is an OG and super humble
0:28 , Yeah athlean X people have to be gamers , i mean it is callled '' The X-Box'' after all :p
NO!
Cross body leg swings 30 secs
Back and forth leg swings 30 secs
Squat under limbo?
Barbell banded sit squat 6/8x3
Lifted Bulgarian split (hypertrophy)
Rear foot B-split tilted
90 box jump from knees up
Pull throughs for glutes
Any name fixes help, just kinda putting this here for myself
Legendary ass video 😤💯🤝
Lol only 6 likes must mean you have completely different fan base
No. Look up "twerking" and you will see some legendary ass videos
Jeff please make more Videos on SUPPLEMENTS like review on creatine,whey,soy,casein,pea and other sources of protein , Beta-alanine , arginine,BCAAs , EAAs, Glutamine and all...
YES ATHLETING TRAINING nfl conditioning this is AWESOME! YEah!!!
Jeff, I really like videos like this, where you ask the question "what do you want to do with those muscles?" It's not just about pure size gains or increasing a metric, but making us better at the sports we are a part of. Thank you for advocating a more thoughtful approach to hitting the gym!
I have a sport-specific request for a topic: endurance athletes. I'm primarily a cyclist, but do a few longer-distance running events too (marathon-type stuff). I'm particularly interested in trying to get stronger as a cycling sprinter so I can get better performance at criterium races in 2020. I don't want to gain too much weight, though, because every pound I gain is another pound I have to drag up a hill with me, so I fight to stay around 5'11" and 160lbs. It would be real cool if you could touch on the topic in a video sometime: explosive leg workouts tailored more for a person who keeps lean, low-weight musculature.
Thanks for doing what you do! Keep up the great work!
This video internally rotated my brain.
Going under that tube/rope...is an old school boxing drill. Punching at the same time. Rope at different heights. Great for mobility...
That was Jesse’s best intro!
MotoJP 💯😂
Two of my favorite people! Go Pack Go!
When Jeff hits someone he makes sure to go full ROM to completely contract his pecs.
Ive never seen someone more intelligent than Jeff wow ! I learn so much from your videos its like whenever I hear your voice I'm becoming smarter and smarter
If I did those single leg dips at my gym the lunk alarm would go off
Get out of PF. Its the worst gym
I know that feeling of fighting for ropes regarding face pulls.The gym I attend has had to order more.Long live the face pull.Absolutly love the videos that are like this where athletes are in the X Box for a workout.
Watching Jesse play Madden with Greg Jennings was worth the whole video
Jeff should have 24*7 live channel..can watch him all day long 🤘
When Jeff say the face pull workout I’m like
“Al shit here we go again”
Train like ufc/bjj fighter next pls
"This is just a game for you... this is MY LIFE!"
Im not an athlete anymore, but im joining the army, and I feel like training like an athlete is just as important now.
At this point I'm going to get gains before I win the giveaway
Hands down the best video you've ever made. So cool to see how far you've come. You're philosophy and experience is incredible

Jeff, you have the best content.
You give us the tools to be the best we can be. I really like the explanation of why you should or shouldn't perform an exercise.
Really good stuff mate👍🏽
So early I internally rotated my giveaway
Jeff can we have a followup on anterior pelvic tilt. What exercises to avoid and how to build abbs without falling back into anterior pelvic tilt
Seeing Jesse's face almost made me drop my phone in the toilet.
SAME BRO IM IN THE TOILET
The threat is real
Seeing Jesse's face makes me want to drop my phone in the toilet.
One of your best videos. More of these please
JESSE REALLY PUT ATHLEAN X ON HIS BACK DOE
I play a heavy full contact sport (not football) and I am definitely adding this to my arsenal.
Jeff shifting his load out to his glutes over here 🤣
Jeff you need to make videos like this for other sports too. It will be really helpful
I actually won the giveaway! Time to get a bod like Jesse!
I am confident in believing athletes that train with Jeff are less injury-prone & are achieving gain that translate onto the field better than simply gaining muscle mass.
Bless me father, for I have sinned. I forgot to do my face pulls last workout
Outstanding! Any other athlete from another sports discipline would be awesome!
*When you realize*
You don't look much different from Jesse in that first pic
Waoah a 25 mins video of jeff THAT's AWESOME we can never get enough of you this is the longest upload in so long
We need Shannon Sharpe on one of these
Athlean x nxt has some really good stuff football players could use as well I love it I’m on month 8
a legend says that jeff was born with a sixpack.
He was, just like everyone.
Normally im having 2 leg day/week: quads and hamstrings/glutes. Mostly strength training. So, yesterday decided to mix it up and try this workout. And it feels amazing today, muscles are sore all over and stronger than usual. Definitely something to try, guys. :) And thanks, Jeff, for sharing! :)
When’s Jeff gonna so a stretching routine
He has done videos on stretching
@@Adriana.Gabriela he meant dynamic stretching I suppose
@@l3n693 hm, might be
I would like to see that Incorporated in the ax programs.
Greatest video ever. Your explanation on glute activation might be the to darling gold In Tokyo for me at the Paralympic Games. Thank you, Jeff!
"Cut it as an NFL player?!" Um, super no. I've trained with a lot of guys. One of them was a D1 college running back - 2nd string. He was an order of magnitude stronger and more powerful than anyone I've every worked with. I presume an NFL play is another order of magnitude strong than that. Professional football players are on another level than the rest of us.
Well it's all specialized conditioning right? Any professional athlete will be a different cut but their "field" will require different training
These guys are an example of how far human body can go
