I like the message of this video and confirms the benefits to less volume per session more frequency per week. After years of going back and forth with push, pull, legs or split once a week per muscle group, low volume, high volume...etc, I'm finally doing some of that but also a very simple upper body (2 times a week) lower body (2 times a week) all lower volume higher intensity. The frequency and ease of less reps heavier weights is just working better for me & making the gym more fun as it's not wearing me down with the volume.
Wether or not you go till failure is also an important variable for nattys. I've gotten more gains by increasing volume of both heavy and light by not going to failure, a few studies say it's not neccesary and can lead to worse recovery. I've found this isn't the case for arms though for what ever reason. I can blast my arms and they still recover quick.
I noticed I respond both ways with less volume and more volume. 2 weeks ago I increased more exercises ( including Tom Platz hack squats style and walking leg lunges) and my quads responded and got bigger BUT last week I did basically the same thing with less response. So every now and then would probably work cause it causes the muscle shocking principle into new growth but the muscles are instantly and incredibly adaptive.
@@zeno4538 I don't think training them every day would be optimal, maybe with 48 hours of rest between workouts it could be done but it really depends on the person and how you eat, sleep, and how much volume you did in that training day. If you ate well (enough for recovery), slept at least 8 hours and did moderate volume, i think recovery can be fast enough for you to be able to work it out again. But again, it depends largely on the person, some people, even eating and sleeping enough won't be able to recover that fast, while someone else might be able to.
Nick perfect leg training, I have to work the thigh to exceed my 30" measurement, for a better symmetrical balance, good motivation, more pump, more food, HD zone,,,, Spartans Walker Nation,👊💪
Lookin' good, Nick! Not over doing it with cals and staying lean. Always ready if a guest posing should arise and look fantastic. Im 5 wks post cuff surgery and can finally get back into gym again to start cardio and minimal strength/rehab training. Nick is a great substitute to watch training as i did watching Jay years ago.
We definitely know by now just because you “feel” it in an area doesn’t necessarily mean it’s working that area lol. People refuse to let go of outdated knowledge
Nick I love you like a brother. I'm a self-proclaimed specialist when it comes to knee pain, and I have found on leg days warming up with stationary bike is second to none when it's comes to strengthening the knee before load bearing them. Absolutely amazing results. Can't wait to see you achieve your goal.
The extra commentary is awesome. People like to know your mindset with your training philosophy so they can help determine if they should do the same. Thanks Nick!
Curious if your lower back gets really pumped on those leg presses.. I have that problem when I try to get a full ROM, my lower back wants to arch and it’s very uncomfortable
Unless you're using that particular leg press you will struggle to get "full ROM" notice how he gets full knee flexion but has almost no dorsiflexion in the ankles. Beauty of a well designed machine.
You look sooo much better keeping your weight in check during your offseason- you carry a ton of muscle anyway- refinement will work for you- always liked your TUT training approach- always checking for new Mutant content
I like the video as always you keep pushing, and the people who follows you also keep pushing can you please tell me the name of the app that you’re using?
Your spine moving under load isn't bad for it. Obviously the magnitude of loading has to be appropriate as it does with every body part but there's nothing special about the spine in that regard. However, if your back is moving so much that it becomes fatigued to the point of being the limiting factor, that can make the exercise less efficiently stimulative for the legs.
@@ConTuber1 Would you personally recommed it? I would never. People always goes very heavy with a lot of weight on the leg press. If you search on YT or google they tell your not to lower the weight so much that your butt lifts. I personally did hurt my self doing it because I wanted full range of motion. This is just one video; th-cam.com/users/shortsahaJTts1f3s But I could easily find 10 links more who tell your not to do this. I know Nick Walker is a top bodybuilder but Ronnie Coleman fucked his back up too. Be careful man :D
@@ConTuber1 Video of Ronnie Coleman; He did not lift his butt on leg pres but I get it with Coleman - it properly wasn't bad technique - more the constant stress and load of heavy weights. Bodybuilding is a bit crazy I guess Nick Walker has a proper weight - but it hurts my spine looking at him lifting his butt th-cam.com/video/ue92z73K_TA/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=jackspartaco
@@rasmusmortensen4756 I wouldn't tell someone to do it but I wouldn't consider it a bit of spinal flexion a significant concern either. Just use an appropriate load for a given technique like literally every exercise. If you get hurt, you were unprepared for the load that you used - it's not the movement itself that's injurious. My concern would be how it affects the stimulus to fatigue ratio of the exercise in relation to it's assigned purpose like I explained in my last comment briefly - if your back is fatigueing and limiting the proximity to failure of your quads, reduce the spinal flexion more.
@@ConTuber1 I quickly watched 4 videos on leg press @ youtube. They all say the same thing: Do not lift your butt - it will put too much pressure on your lower back (spine concern) An appropriate load in that case would be by doing light weights which won't make your legs grow. Now I don't if you have an education in fitness - I dont. If just wonder why Nick Walker is doing it this way but from my experience by watching/reading/doing it my self - its a 'no go'. Thanks for the debate

I hope that microphone doesn't bother you that much because this was some of the best audio. Anyways, great pump and awesome information. I forking love leg days ❤
Also, whatever idiots told you the "science shows that going wider and deep hits your inner leg and glute more and doesn't hit the rest of the quad" isn't very well versed on what the science actually says lol. It hits the entire quad BETTER to go as deep as you can. You're kicking ass my man. Keep it up.

Nick.....try some Old School Kung Fu shoes......1/4 inch Flat Souls.....Should remove your knee pain. I always trained legs without shoes for the same reason.....Kills the knees........As People....we really are not suppose to be wearing shoes......its an interesting topic to dig into if you every have the time. You look Great by the way....whats your weight ? ....looking about 257 from my couch, lol.
GREAT explanation on volume and frequency, Nick!!!!
Walker is doing it right !💪👍🏻🦵💰🔑

@@zeno4538 Exactly right ! Arms recover about faster than any other muscle and the biceps are usually the fastest.
@@whitecrane542 yeah i wonder if training bicepts every day would actually work

I love the way Nick trains
Was looking at my legs this morning and was like wow theyre really coming along and then i watched this video 😂😂😂 theres work to be done
A good way to start my day. Watching my favorite BB. Thanks for bringing another video so quickly.
nick❤❤❤❤ this man looks incredible the whole year
Thank god he's putting out content often again 🎉
Damn this gym's equipment for leg day is just top notch
Nick perfect leg training, I have to work the thigh to exceed my 30" measurement, for a better symmetrical balance, good motivation, more pump, more food, HD zone,,,, Spartans Walker Nation,👊💪
What an awsome training video. Quality sound and all. Onr of the best video to this day
No pro at this moment talks that much about the ins and outs of the workout.
Thanks Nick !!! You're a great coach !!!
Nick's got a sinewy look to his arms most bodybuilders don't have
Setting yourself up for success in prep
One set, goes and does 5 of each.
we need day in the life
Lookin' good, Nick! Not over doing it with cals and staying lean. Always ready if a guest posing should arise and look fantastic.
Im 5 wks post cuff surgery and can finally get back into gym again to start cardio and minimal strength/rehab training. Nick is a great substitute to watch training as i did watching Jay years ago.
21:21 bulgarians are very good to isolate the quads, the hamstrings and the glutes XD, dude isolates whole body
Bruh them vains are unreal! What a set of wheels Senoir!
Champ are you sick, what's with the voice?!
Walker should definitely open his own gym one day.💯💰
👍👊
We definitely know by now just because you “feel” it in an area doesn’t necessarily mean it’s working that area lol. People refuse to let go of outdated knowledge
Holy Time under tension, Batman!
High intensity workouts is what you are going to see from the CHAMP 💪 uk Awsome

Dude same
@@aidanmaster45 it really sucks. I guess I lack the ankle mobility, so my back bends

Place form roller behind your lower back it will keep your lower back in more neutral position
@@tydupont8084 dude I even do the tomplatz tip of stretching ankle on the standing calf press, It still is unbearable.
ALRIGHT ! Let’s get it done !
Awesome information Nick !! You are looking awesome for the off season!!💪🏻
Big fan The Mutant🎉🎉
I wish i had crazy body builders at my gym yelling and groaing on leg machines it would pump me up big time
Future Mr O!
Great session with near textbook form for almost every set. Putting in that work 🔥
One set? Okay
This too shall pass

Love the content Nick. I really enjoyed the commentary during and especially after the workout.
Great conclusions about legs. Keep up with the hard work!
Good session as always !
What is the name of the app he uses to track his workout?
intro goes hard, post intro be going calm THE MUTANT :D
Good Shit Bro!! 🚨👊🏻👊🏻
Keep it coming.
👍🏽🏋🏻💪🏽💯🔥
The videos are better tha ever. Thanks for sharing mates
Make a video on full day of eating 🙏😊
Nick was trainer barking on the leg press 😭🤣
I like the video as always you keep pushing, and the people who follows you also keep pushing can you please tell me the name of the app that you’re using?
Why do Jansens athletes all get a husky voice? Dallas, Brett and now Nick. It's worrying man.
Grunting until hoarse every workout might answer your question. Listen to Wilkin grunting thru every rep like a grizzly bear.
Drugs r bad what if all bodybuilders agreed not to use them omg gentleman’s agreement
They all take the same voice lower drugs. Maybe they are gonna be vocal artist one day and Jansen wants to capitalize? Maybe
These mfs all sound like they're sick 24/7.
2:08 bro that will never happen😂 too many financial incentives.. plus egos
Without barbell squats there is no leg day

Why does he go extra slow on the negative? Serious question
One question; When you lift your butt doing leg press - aint that bad for lower back? Its like bending over too much doing squat? No?
Your spine moving under load isn't bad for it. Obviously the magnitude of loading has to be appropriate as it does with every body part but there's nothing special about the spine in that regard.

Good shit nick
💪👍 great training video.
Hi

keeping it honest, biggest fan!
Music?

Please do a workout session with The Dorian Yates

I hope that microphone doesn't bother you that much because this was some of the best audio. Anyways, great pump and awesome information. I forking love leg days ❤
I think he would be better off clipping the box to his pocket inner layer, then attaching a lavaliere. Would make the sound a bit clearer too 💪
🇧🇷💪👏👏mutante Nick 🥇🏆
But what happened to Nick's voice, it sounds differenti 🤔
It's worrying - Same thing happened with Dallas & Brett Wilkin when they started working with Matt Jansen
@@TheCeiteach Really?, but Nick this I hope is realizing it, his strings sound bad and it's not good!
damn guys ,its the mic...
Mr O! 🎉
Always working hard, great for the sport, off topic are you still with Maria
Something elevates in my pants after seeing this video
Nick is still working that paper thin skin 👀
We want the gold old video where you kill the workout ,no music like the old channel
Sound quality took a hit recently with that mic 🎤
👍
I hope to see you get sessions in with Dorian Yates
Nick we love you even though we know you wouldn't be using the app you won't stop talking about if it wasn't for youtube lol
Wow frequency over volume...I was kind of gravitating that way but I wasn't sure....
