Same here...

The science/biology behind his words is that there are two types of muscle fibers, Fast twitch and slow twitch, fast twitch generate stronger and more rapid contractions than the slow twitch, but they get tired quickly because they use anaerobic respiration which releases lactic acid. These fast twitch muscles are generally more common in the upper body, and they’re used for short but heavy exercises, like lifting a heavy dumbbell for example. Slow twitch on the other hand contract slower and weaker but they can work for way longer and take much longer to fail because they use aerobic respiration, which produces more energy and uses more oxygen than the anaerobic. This makes slow twitch better for longer exercises like walking or jogging if ure on the treadmill, or generally any exercise where you’re doing lots of repetitions. Slow twitch muscle fibers are found more in the lower body.. If you came this far thanks for reading😄

One thing about your body.......and that is, it will never hurt when you are working it out. Even when you're doing whatever intense choice workout, as that is its food. No different than when one eats to fuel their body. I never understood why people would put themselves through pain with the belief that they're benefitting in the long run. Being youthful, structured and well defined with healthy muscles, really just require discipline. As your body is pretty much developing as you age. Most folk don't see their errors or hype that they've subscribed to, until they're older and can't change what they've already done for decades. You really have to know your body and *fully understand what it is capable of and needs. In return, responsibly using the tools that you've been given to care for it.

The main goal of that is to not build muscles but rather be more functional to not be tired easily fast and do difficult tasks continuosly for a long record of time. For real life application; if you train with this method consistently, you'd be able to climb the stairs 5 stories on a normal speed walk without getting tired.

To mention; at the end of my workout, I pump out as many normal speed squats as I can without rest, I don't count them but until I cry and my legs give out. It works out my endurance that way, allowing me to push time longer from physical stress. If I were to count my repetition, last time I did was 43 and my legs literally felt like a burning sting all over. The reason why that's the only amount of rep I can push is because I already finished speed, plyometrics, strength and muscle building training for legs beforehand 😅 then endurance training is my last workout.

To add to this, this works for any part of the body, its just most people do workouts in ways for the arms so differently and focus on the big muscle groups instead of strengthening muscles that are not as noticeable (big arms focus over functional strength all around leads to imbalance of muscles within the arm itself, which is why people get tendon problems so much because they got weak tendons under extra stress due to larger muscles putting to much strain on them because the smaller muscles that connect to a lot of the tendons and connective tissue are weaker, think tug of rope.) Don’t overtrain it but doing high reps on arms is very doable (50lb curls per arm vs 70 at increased reps of 20-30 per arm.)

High rep leg workouts will give you soreness like you've never experienced. I once did 200 bodyweight squats in one set and could barely walk for 5 days

david goggins preaches this too. lost all his weight doing 1 set and a 100 reps per exercise

I can tell you right now I do low weight high reps on legs and I’ve noticed massive gains, I have hip problems so I had no choice to drop the weight, so I’m happy seeing this video 😊

Time under Tension is a Huge reason to grow...

He makes so much sense! We don’t walk on hands but we do thousands of steps every single day for thousands of days. The picture of me you see was taken 8 years ago when I weighed 240 lbs at 5’8” and now I’m 175, and I started not even with workouts but with walking 10,000 steps a day and when I lost 65 pounds I noticed that my legs were already bulky. Now I only train legs once a week, 3-4 sets of zercher squats and 3-4 sets of Romanians and that’s enough to keep them big😂 so, a cheat code to bulky legs is to get morbidly obese, live like that for at least 5-6 years and then lose weight 😂😂😂

People should incorporate this technique it works

I took this man's calf routine advise, crippled for a week, this man talks sense, happy training all💪

I've always done lighter weight high reps & it's served me incredibly well. It also throws people off when they talk shyt before you pickup the real weight. Light weight produces good form, good form produces proper strength & growth. If you can do 100 reps with 100% proper form, you can do atleast or almost half that with 2 to 3 times that weight.

Tell you right now you're always need to start off with a really lower weight and stretch your muscles in your ligaments because if you don't you're really going to miss so much more potential that your muscles can really have

@@conflict7269 Yea its definitely good to start off with light weight for warming up & stretching. Most people just don't realize & underestimate the power of light weight high reps. Slowly upping the weight in order to get that flawless form & strength is the way to go compared to just quickly upping the weight once u can do 10 to 12 iffy reps. Atleast for me personally.. It's all around ideal cuz it's more cardio based so you get stamina, muscle mass, proper form, real strength & it's very sleeper build depending on how high up on the weight scale you go.

@@conflict7269 More prone to injuries & problems after a while of powerlifting with incorrect form/knowledge, most definitely. Powerlifters that do it with proper form are more prone to it injuries, it happens all the time to even the greats. I was that kid too for a couple yrs i started lifting around 11 or 12 & I eventually started hangin around bodybuilders powerlifters & all sorts of different fitness heads. I kept an open mind & took in a lot of info/advice & done tons of research & it's been incredibly helpful. Because I kept an open mind, I'm smaller than a large portion of people but I'm much stronger than that large portion & have always been stronger. It's never a dull moment when someone sees a 6ft tall "skinny" dude rollup to ridiculously heavy weight & lift it like it's a few feathers.

Old microphones ...

My current routine is something like: Warmup: 1 x 10-15 reps Heavy sets: Reps until failure, when failure is less than 7 reps, drop the weight Set 4-10 (depending on overall fatigue): Drop sets until failure or until I can pump out 15-20 reps of next current weight Focusing on slow ecentric and explosively concentric, controlled the whole time. Then moving onto next exercise/machine. Next day is rough for legs, 2nd day is the worst, then Ill usually be able to walk again properly on the 3rd day. Stretching and sauna can reduce these recovery times dramatically.

That's why he said to work up to it until you're doing 50 each leg or 100 total on both legs. Think, alternate, breathe, take short, and I do mean short breaks. Don't hurt yourself but he's simply using big numbers to get his point across that you need a LOT of repetitions

My teardrop on my legs would never become sore. I would fatigue the muscles using squats, leg extensions, and lunges. Only the outside of my lower thigh and the part of my thigh closest to my groin would become sore. I finally followed this advice and decided to do the 45 lb bar 100 times. My God! Every fiber of my thighs was sore like no other ever. I was sore for 5 days.

True! I remember doing body weight squats 40x5 3x wk. Big thighs.

Makes sense. We are built to walk and run for a long time. I have noticed also that higher weight less reps for legs I never feel as sore. Even if I use alot more weight than normal. But if I use less weight and do a longer workout or more reps and sets than I feel way more sore the next day. I think a mix of both is the way to go though. I usually do lots of reps with lower weights and than at the end of my workout I increase the weight as much as I can do and go until absolute failure.

Did this in my morning session this morning. He's right, it is painful...but it hurts SOOOOO GOOOOOOODDD 😏😆💯💯💯

My legs doing 100th squat with just my bodyweight: "Wtf you mean add weight?!??"

Hes right. I did similar method for my legs and they got bigger and shredded

50 is to much, the muscle fibers you are after can't go that long. 15-20 is perfect

One of the greatest minds in the business

He's right. 3 x week, I used to do heavy squats (4 x bodyweight) for 5-6 reps. Then, I reduced the load to my bodyweight and tried 5 sets x 15. BRUTAL! Legs day became 1 day/ week. 1 set of 100 reps would be a killer.

Yessss!

Such a valuable information and nobody mentions it.

When you fill up the leg press with plates and do it for 20+ reps is the biggest flex. Been doing high reps for legs for years and its honestly the best way to develop them

Endurance is a byproduct of STRENGTH!!! If your one rep max is increased then a corresponding increase in multiple reps, with less load goes up!!!

If you do barbell squat to failure 10 reps. Vs lets say bench press to failure 10 reps. You can clearly feel the difference. Your chest might be burning and full of blood pumping after thos 10 reps to failure. But your legs after 10 reps of failure? They don't feel very pumped. After i walk down the stairs after 10 reps to failure (2 sets) with a barbell squat, i can still walk down the stairs. If i do 20 reps to failure with barbell squat? Bro i have to focus to not fail because my legs feel so weak. 20 reps just FEELS like it damages your legs a lot more then 10 reps. With 10 reps it just feels like its to heavy and you body already had to stop early because there is just a shitload of weight on your back. Doing 20 reps to failure is harder also because you suffer longer lol.
