While lots of people may think reverse Nordics are useless, I believe they actually demonstrate very resilient quad tendons But feel free to debate otherwise in the comments, I’m all for it How I see it is during a reverse Nordic, you’re loading your quad tendon with your full body weight - which is no easy feat There was a point in my life where I never squatted below 90 degrees, only wore knee sleeves, and I’d wonder why I had a massive amount of quad tendinitis At that time something like a reverse Nordic would break me. But by training these extreme motions, and full knee bend in squats, my knees feel more protected than ever. It all comes down to patient, pain free progression - and I hope this video can be proof that you can do it too Tendons CAN be progressively overloaded too! Practice reverse Nordics once a week, at the level you’re up to, for 3-4 sets of 10 reps. Always control your eccentrics! If you’re only up to the stretches, these can be done twice a week

I did these for fun in elementary school

This is actually great info and not just “do these because they’re popular right now” lol

I do these for four weeks now. I was looking for a leg extension alternative in my home gym. And those are perfect. They also correspond nicely with the science that prefers training in longer muscle length. There is no longer muscle length than in the reverse nordic curls. And you are right, despite many thoughts, it's awesome for knee health.

Same with Nordics

it took me about 1.5 years to go from an inflexible fuck, to being able to hit my first reverse Nordic. It's cool to see that my body can do something like this at 31, while all of my piers complain that they are stiff and their body doesn't work like it used to.

Amazing progression you demonstrate how to go from beginner to expert - and important you point out not to jump the gun. Nicely done!💥

Omg, I've always wanted those Dunks you're wearing!

Thank you! This is so helpful ❤

Bros calf muscles are insane 🫠🤯

Thanks, dude!

Thank you for all the amazing info ❤️

Good stuff.

Thanks!

This used to be my favorite stretch when I got on the ice for hockey. I can no longer go all the way back on the count of getting older and fatter but I used to be able to do this shit lol 😂.

Please make sure the band is fastened correctly 😂😂

Bren doing these for a whole not sure if it's good or not but I do this with 60lbs on a BB

How often do you do reverse nordics per week?

Idk what i m doing wrong but I can't feel my quads when doing this exercise even if I go full rom

Do I need to actively flex my tibialis during the reverse Nordics to prevent myself from toppling over?

The pain point with with movement is my feet. I feel my legs are flexible enough to get there but there is so much pressure on the front of my ankle I can’t go down.

That’s the biggest stumbling block for most people. My abs, quads, and hip flexors have average strength and flexibility. But my lower legs and knees are highly mobile and flexible. I can do reverse Nordics.

Are those Nike Sneakers that you're wearing ?

Reverse nordics are actually very easy for me idk why, I'm not a strong squatter at all. Now nordic curls, impossible

I need extensive surgery(maybe even a full knee replacement.. before i can do this.. is it worth doing just to your max range flexion at about 125 degrees??

You don’t need surgery, just start slow
