    Hey Guys, we hope you like the video. Don't forget: You do every exercise until you reach fatigue, before you continue with the next one.
    After you finished all 6 exercices you completed 1 GIANT SET. If you want to do more than 1 Set, rest about 3 Minutes before you start with the next one.
    We recommend anything between 1-3 GAINT SETS.

    Giant set - no rest every exercise until fatigue then onto the next, in order of hardest to easiest.
    1- pistol squat (preferably on ground, stable knee and controlled, use object for support if necessary)
    2- archer squat - side lunge (good distance not too narrow, keep heel of bent leg on the ground)
    3- hip raises with one straight leg
    4- jumping/normal lunges
    5 - deep squat - hold as long as possible, aim for near vertical position, straight spine, heel on ground, even knee distribution don't let knees collapse, hold object if necessary, hold active squat
    6 - single leg elevated calf raises - slowly and controlled, knees slightly bent, elevated for better range of motion

    • @amyfoster470
      @amyfoster470 5 років тому +14

      @@aleksandarpetrovic2463 fatigue is when muscles start to shake, ie. When the lactic acid starts building up and you feel the burning sensation. Obviously push through the burn until the shaking comes, then you are fatigued. In a way it is tired but make sure this is tired from your muscle perspective not mental perspective. Therefore I say it is better to wait for muscle shaking.

    I'm not one to skip legs day and thought I was in pretty good shape leg-wise. But, I did two sets of this today and then made the mistake of trying to walk down five flights of steps at the end of the day at office - had to hold the railing to keep from falling! What a smoker that good form and bodyweight can be!!
    I've added this to my weekly routine along with a weighted legs day. I still can't do a full pistol on either side, but I'm holding weights bags for all the rest of the exercises. Still smokes me for the remainder of the day. Love it.

    Hi guys, I think this is one of your best. I had been getting a bit fixated on resting between all my exercises so I gave this a try. I did 2 sets (slightly adapted to suit my goals & abilities) with a 4 minute rest between sets. Felt fine next day but day after that was stiff and sore in that painfully satisfying way. Feels good now and am looking forward to next workout. I do a bit of hillwalking and this type of single leg exercise is extremely useful training for big days in the mountains. Thank you for continuing to offer such great output.

    I can say I'm an intermediate level. I tried these workouts for 3 sets. First I thought that these would be easy for me while I had leg workout in the gym 2 days a week before the quarantine. But in the third set, I saw my coffin in front of my eyes!!!!! The workout was really fantastic. It explodes the leg's muscles. Very good for these days: #stayhome. The cons is that the squad workout with the smith machine in the gym also grew back muscles too, but of course, this work out does not focus on the back. This is calisthenic anyway.

    One question I'd love to see you guys answer is:
    I've heard numerous times that, when squatting, you're not supposed to let your knees track past your toes.
    When you guys do squats, however, your knees do end up beyond the toes. Is there some newer science telling us there are particular exceptions to the conventional rule, or is there a more advanced understanding that explains when and why the knees can track past the toes of a foot flat on the ground?
    Thanks guys, love the channel!

I do 3 sets of 4-6 pistol squats for example plus the rest of the workout and after that cant walk for 2 days.

      @@879macio GHR and Nordic Curl aren't the same exercise. GHR provide more knee assistance and in original version is done with arch-up. Nordic Curl is pure curl from the kness and the only thing that it require is some kind of ankle stability. Every park has it, people who train in home might use door pull up bar.
      But lets assume you got that equipment argument right, still how could they forget about bridges? Glute Bridge and Hip Thrust are cool, but not as progressive as the exercises i've mention.

      knee pain occurs usually when there is imbalance between hamstring muscle and quadriceps femoris muscle ( just google to find where are they) , in simple words when the back muscle and front muscle are in imbalance there is pressure on the knee tendons.
      Unfortunately the following exercise given in this video are only for quadriceps thus doing ONLY them will hurt your knees even more.
      Ofc there many more reasons for knee pain such as weak immune system , calceum problems and even thyroid problems, for best solution and trainnings seek for professional trainer / doctor ,
      UA-camrs or other random comments usually wont give you the best answer.

    Great video, Alex.
    Serious question I've been pondering as of lately. Long story short, I've been training for the Nijmegen march(this July) that consist of 50km for four days; total will be 200km.
    Is it best to train and build up the walking distance for my leg endurance and strength with my intended gear on (weight 15-20 lbs) or do weight training leg exercises at the gym with high reps? I'm leaning towards that I should aim for endurance type of work outs and high reps and avoid 10-12 reps of weight / rep ratios. I would love to know your thoughts and advice on this. 🙏

    • @danielprest5887
      @danielprest5887 5 років тому +1

      Jimmy Lim hey, if you have till July what I would do is use weight training now while it's early with some shorter distance marching unweighted and as weeks progress increase the distance walked per session/week and reduce the volume with weights while adding weight in your pack, then by the end of June take a dell ad to prepare for the March.

    Short answer: YES ABSOLUTELY
    Long answer: Kind of. Not really. I mean, a little....but, listen..you're out there getting stronger and that's what counts. I am dating this girl who calls me chicken legs. We went to the gym together to fix this problem. I hit the squat rack, and she reverse cowgirled three men in the parking lot by the dumpster. I know about the reverse cowgirl because I watched from the car. I couldn't get out of the car because my legs were too sore after going too hard in the gym. When she got back in the car she just looked at me and said.."pussy". Then she spit in my face and snored all the way home. I am in my car still because I cant move....from the soreness, you understand? I just watched my neighbor, Tom, and the mailman go in the house. I think we know where that is going....
    From now on, I'll do bodyweight exercises.
