Leg Day: - squats --> narrowed-squats -->side-staggered squats --> assisted pistol squats --> pistol squats --> dragon squats --> pistol + dragon squats. 3 sets of 10 done perfectly before you transition into the next level of squats. If you have trouble improving your form, you can do isometric holds of the squat instead for a few weeks until the transition gets easier. - Lunges 3 x 12 each leg. If this feels too easy, then do Hip thrusts exercises. If back hurts then some careful Romanian Deadlifts can be a nice substitute. - Calf Raises 3 x 15. Do them off a ledge to get full optimal stretch. If you wanna optimize then transition to one-leg each. -Tibialis Raises 3 x 15. Just do them while leaning on a wall -Feet sickling 3x15. This is not a stretch, don't bend your ankles too much. MovementbyDavid explains this better.

having 1 comment as a 100k sub youtuber is kinda saddening, but was here since day 1 and never lost hope in you!

For those squats you were talking about, I had the same issue at some point, the range of motion was really uncomfortable. For reference I'm 6'3. This worked for me, it may not for you of course: it seems extremely obvious and simple I wouldn't be surprised if you're already doing it, lead in by bending your knees first and then squat. Obviously don't bend your knees first by itself, but in one fluid motion, bend your knees first before squatting down and then come back up as normal. It made a huge difference for me

Squats, Lunges and Romanian deadlifts are the best basic leg exercises, pair those with some Bulgarian split squats, leg extensions, leg curls and some calf raises with high incline walking and you will be good to go for leg day!

im 6'2, and for squats, putting a plate and resting your heels on it giving you a little lift helps immensely with depth! also if you dont like squats, bulgarians are a good alternative, and then just go heavy on leg press to simulate squatting a bit more. you got this, arms lookin big man

Yeah that helps me a lot too, I just do front squats though

there's this cool youtuber called Intellectual Meathead. he has a very comprehensive workout routine posted for free, so i just do that. it's based on the pyramid system (every set you raise the weight but do less reps). leg day consists of: 5 sets of weighted calf raises 7 sets of leg extensions 7 sets of leg curls 6 sets of smith machine hack squats it'd be hard to explain everything in a youtube comment so just look him up, it should be in the description of most of his vids

My leg day is 5 minutes warmup stair climber Weights Leg Press (do not lock your knees) , Smithing Machine for squat and cushion for back and neck, and deadlifts. Also 3 other machines that target the (1) main muscles on the top of your leg (2) and the muscles under your leg, (3) as well as a machine with calf raises, and i end with an ab workout. and thats my leg day xD also i highly recommend a weight belt for safety

for back squats try angling your feet on a 45 degree angle. It helped me at least get deeper in the movement because i don't have the greatest range of motion. Single leg exercises balloon your legs and help with compound movements

I find close stance helps me target the quads more too

It would look nicer if you ate with the pov on but that's just my preference. Nice video keep up the good work!

I’ve been lifting for 6 years now and I’m relatively tall (5’11”) and I’ve always preferred leg press over squats or front squats. It doesn’t hurt my back so I can lift heavy and not worry about form as much. For legs I typically do: Leg press Bulgarian split squats (or lunges) Leg curls Leg extensions Calf raises Leg

Yeah I'm sure it could be improved, I try to do those holds when you squat down and keep your feet as flat as you can and I've gotten pretty good at that. It's a lot more comfortable when I elevate my foot too, I think it's just part of having a long femur, makes squats harder.

I've been drinking protein shakes for over a year now consistently and honestly it does help guys, it's a pretty healthy habit

I think you could get a lot of great advice for your muscle gain problems, dieting, counting macros, leg exercises etc. etc. from a channel called Renaissance Periodization. I recently started watching them and they make very informative and helpful, but also very funny videos.

That channel is awesome I've only watched a little bit but I like what he says

Im pretty sure that olive oil doesn't turn harmful under normal cooking heat (around 160F to 145F) and I think it only turns bad for you when its heated at around 325F? It's also a bit more expensive then regular oil, so I don't know if its worth, but its something interesting to read up on tho

What camera do you use to record this? I also love your content btw

These videos are gas, just had eggs, tomatoes, blueberries, and a bagel for breakfast for the first time in years. Leg day for me: Barbell Squats are huge - tons of stimulation for quads, glutes, hamstrings, etc. The biggest thing that's gonna get you big legs however is eating more (assuming you're hitting legs at least 2x a week). But yeah squats are lowkey the best exercise for growing legs imo, and if you do them right they'll strengthen the shit outta your tendons, ligaments, etc

Okay actually finished the video now 😅, here's my thoughts on legs: (I've been lifting for about 10years now and do powerlifting) 1 - I'd recommend still trying with back squats, the amount of muscle they can build is insane. Maybe try widening your stance, squatting "lowbar" (where the bar is lower on your back), etc. My brother is 6'1" and it took him a while to figure it out, but now his legs are growing extremely well, since being taller actually puts more strain on the quads, growing them more. 2 - As far as intensity goes, I recommend keeping the intensity high, but definitely not to Tom Platz levels if you're just trying to get more muscular. Some good youtube resources are Renaissance Periodization, Sam Sulek, Alexander Bromley. I like to push my training hard, but that's a personal preference - from what I hear, you don't need to be puking/crying regularly to get jacked. 3 - The fact that you're tracking your lifts is a huge W. As you said, this allows you to periodically up the weight, which is known as "Progressive Overload" which is pretty much unanimously agreed on as the best way to get bigger and stronger. Definitely would recommend tracking your macros as well, since you probably get less protein/calories than you think (helped me gain weight in a healthier manner). Good luck with your training!!
