Dumbbell Only Leg Workout For SIZE (This is No Joke)
Спорт
We had such a great response to all the other dumbbell only workouts that we had to do legs. In this video I will show you a 5 exercise leg workout only using dumbbells. If you do this right you can grow some very nice legs in no time. I know that you might not have heavy dumbbells at home so if that's the case you will just have to do more reps and sets. I explain that all in the video.

Great series sir. I think most guys who only train with a barbell would be surprised by how much progress they can kickstart by focusing on Bulgarian Split Squats and Single Leg Romanian Deadlifts on their second leg day of the week.

I love the Bulgarian Split Squat, incorporated it 1,5 years ago into leg workouts thanks to a lower back injury. Always did them with 2 dumbbells, 1 in each hand. It also resulted in me being able to do pistol squats :D. But since holding 1 dumbbell can be focussed more on teardrop or vastus lateralis, how would holding 2 dumbells work into this?

No hate John, love all your videos in this series but do you have a more difficult set of exercises that I could do, because I only have 20 pound dumbbells and I don’t want an extremely high rep range

@@carloslewis1283 You could do slower reps and pause at the bottom perhaps. During quarantine, I did the same and I bought some resistance bands eventually to add some extra resistance. But I bet John knows more about all of this so who knows maybe he has some golden eggs left to throw at us :P

Totally insane. A really impressive young man.
When John says an exercise "feels really good", what he actually means to the rest of us is that it feels like your muscles are being dipped in vats of melting oil, then lit on fire.

Check out Sean Newalnyj, he has addressed this issue. Another KZreadr also talked abt how Humiston didnt build his physique via the method that he preached. The reason why ppl like Humiston is due to his short videos.

Man, it's rough watching Meadow's son doing the yoyo trick in this and knowing that his Dad is gone now; poor kid.
I miss this guy's content so much, honest content and keeps the routines accessible for the average gym bro like me. Such a shame. Big man, big heart. Hope one day to spot you in the gym upstairs big guy ❤
Thats so cool that John added his sons yoyo tricks into the video, and the tricks are REAAAAALY dope
Mother of God, that yo-yo trick was sick!
I started my garage gym in 2017. I had a few dumbbells and a bench. I’d perform the Bulgarian split with 30, 35, and 45 lbs dumbbells. As soon as I bought a squat rack and barbell set, I gave up dumbbell leg exercises. I didn’t want these exercises to detract from my squatting numbers. It was a huge mistake. No squats have ever had the same affect as Bulgarian split squats. It feels as though there is broken glass interwoven in the fibers of your butt cheeks muscles the following day. Another great and informative vid John. Thanks!

There’s a lockdown currently and I’m a powerlifter and can’t squat, I squat 4 plate but just doing the Bulgarian split squat with 50-60s dumbbell each make me couldn’t walk for 5 days straight seriously 😂
Man I just found out John Passed. I thought people we trolling. He loved one of my comments one time, very humble guy. I appreciate his content.
3:45 Holly molly, what kind of wizardly is that?!!! that was REALLY complex Nice instruction as always John, looking forward to incorporate these moves into my leg workout given my university GYM is finally opening next week.
Man, every time I watch your videos for training purposes I just can't stop crying, always have tears in my eyes, you were a really humble awesome human being 😥
Have been loving all these videos. I live in a small farm town and there's one gym, always swamped with people, so I made a setup in my garage. Dumbbells have been a core to my routines. Over the last few weeks I've definitely felt more from my workouts just by mixing these workouts in. Thanks for posting these for us!
I'm actually putting together a new split so this is pure gold. Thank you man. You're awesome. All the best for you and your family

Same man. I’m working on creating a home based routine with DB’s, adjustable bench & bands since I have a feeling gyms will close again by fall. These videos as well as Ryan Humistons have been a great resource for exercise selection
John: "You know what's coming for the next exercise, it's the bulgarian...". Me: "Oh, it's the bulgarian wrist mount tech combo from the world champion?" John: "... split squat." Oh, right.
R.I.P John, such a great cruisey laid back guy, love his videos, I'll miss him for sure...
Love these types of videos! Anything that makes us grow in a simpler way with 2nd lockdowns looming again is spot on!!! Thanks John
So I just started doing all of your "dumbbell only" workouts and my muscles are sore af. Been workin' out with dumbbells since I started getting active and this sensation feels new. I'm so thankful I found your channel and videos! 🥰 AND I'M WAITIN' FOR THIS LEG WORKOUT. HAHAHAH. Really, thanks you very much 🥰
As someone who lost his dad early in life I just want to fucking cry every time I see his boy in a video. His family has my prayers
Love the simplicity of your workouts and the way you explain doing it tomorrow 🦵🏿
Dumbbells for legs is such a useful addition, these are all very informative explanations of these variations, thanks again for the great content.
I'm an Aussie in lock down , just ordered some dumbbells and a bench, waiting for them to arrive. Of course I'm gonna watch a mountain dog dumbbell training video as tribute to the great man. Not gonna lie though, when Alexander came on with the yo yo trick I almost choked up. RIP mate
Thank you, John! Appreciate the information. This video hit the mark. Love your approach on these. Quite refreshing not having someone scream their points across or use profanity in their videos. Makes it kid friendly when teaching your own kids about lifting.
Awesome leg workout alternatives. I broke my leg when I was a teen and I’m close to your age now John and traditional squats on my hip side of the injury just isn’t working anymore because of the stress it causes...The vertical leg press and these exercises will be my go to from now on.
As someone who lives in New York, thank you so much for this series! It has been super helpful since I only have access to dumbbells and some bands. ❤️
I really appreciate these videos as I am stuck at home with some dumbbells, a bench and a pull up bar. Thank you.
Been working out 20+ years, no matter what I did , I just wasn't getting bang for buck on squats. Hips are wonky, legs didn't bend that way. Tried going back to basics, tried free form, even watched platz and glass tutorials.....nothing. Finally started reverse lunges with dumbbells......bingo, goldmine. Legs blew up. Squats aren't for everyone

Gyms shut down and I’m on last “legs”s for a dumbbell leg workout. And boom John meadows still helping me. Very knowledgeable 👊

Always come back to johns videos to put me in the right direction with different workout techniques. RIP JOHN
Love the yo yo videos!!! Yay 😁 and great leg dumbbell routine! With covid and no gyms, dumbbells are really central to our home workouts, thank you!
Thanks for this video John . Was mighty helpful
Keep up the good work John, love the vids 👍
Thanks man 💪💓 Waited for this
Another great video John, many thanks
Wow Alexander is really killing it. I am going to make my next workout a combination or barbell squats and dumbbell work, time to change up and add to the programming.
I was waiting for this one.😊 With every video you look more healthy.👍
Getting ready to get this workout in for you my man
Thank couch for the amazing info 💪🏋️
Awesome video!! Awesome yo yo moves too bro!!
I just bought a set of adjustable dumbells due to the lockdown. This is perfect thank you!
Alexander has some moves! I don't think i could even keep a yoyo going that long. Love that you include your sun! Your the MAN!!! all around amazing person.
Best leg workouts for sure 🔥
John your videos are awesome but We are all here for Alex because he’s so talented 🥰 what a great kid!
I tried the behind the back cables for rear delts and found the right angle . Thanks bro . I’m in Canfield Ohio and will try this . Hope all is well and appreciate the advice from a pro . You seem like a really nice fella who knows his trade well. I use a Bungie strap for squats , step on it and hands next to shoulders works great too . Them straps are great for pumps I ve found out . Most wont admit it but them straps are as good as dumbbells imo .
been waiting for this dawg
Crazy skills on the yo-yo. The DB exercises are a great tools when equipment is limited to get a solid workout.
Alexander is amazing. just like his dad!
This will be good workout for my progress! Thanks
Me: *Looks at yoyo trick* Me: *can't yoyo* "Well damn. There goes all my leg gains."
As always nice and clear. Surprised not to see anything on calves or single leg squats.
Your boy nailed it since the livestream John!
Great stuff! I like to add a bodyweight exercise that isolates the quads and hams like the Nordic curls and reverse Nordics.
Wow 👏😮 YO YO tricks are awesome and also the leg tips lol .Both you guys keep up the great work 💪
John put the passion and positivity back into Fitness
Thanks John great leg dumbbell workout👍🏽
Perfect timing! Training legs today 💪🦵

Dude, insane yoyo tricks. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 great job Alexander.
I do almost all of these and I always start with Jen Hewards..with your back on the yoga ball against the wall & dumbells in hand & 4 sets of varied squats like on an invisible leg machine. It’s killer and I haven’t lost any leg muscle mass from the gym closing.
No joke your son has been putting alot of hard work on his craft..thats some serious skill..
Awesome! Not only do I get a good leg training alternative but a brilliant yo yo video too.
Me at home thinking 🤔 about how I’m gonna work my legs with some dumbbells. Then MD comes through!!! Thanks man!
Gonna do this tonight John I do all the exercises but have never done Bulgarian split squats so tonight will be interesting lol
If your son puts that much effort into his everyday life routine you no as well as I do that boy is going to be successful like his father 💪
Awesome dumbbell only leg workout M Dog it's just what you need and Alexander is a master with that yo-yo👏👏😎
Great video John! Is there much difference between a reverse lunge and a walking forward lunge?
Dumbbells barbell and bench is all you need to do homeworkout, please do more videos about it!
It would be really interesting to see how good Alex's muscle building genetics are in the future 💪 the kid is gonna be huge like his dad
