As a calisthenics guy, i would superset pistol squats with nordic curls(4 sets each) and do calf raise for 3 sets. And done there's my leg workout. I only do this twice a week. Doesn't take more than 25 minutes. Simple but effective.
I do something similar, I start m leg workout with calf raises and Tibial raises super seted, and I follow super setting squat variations with nordic curls
@@ProjetoF-k6p I am talking about people who are busy with work and studies. Anyone would get in a varieties of exercise with 1 hour 30 minutes leg training. I am condensing everything as much as possible here.

168cm 68kg here. I do calisthenics but once a week i do one set for legs. I usually max out with 60kg and thats it. Yesterday i tried 80kg x5 at the gym and it went pretty well. My legs look trained and they perform very well at jumping and sprinting so there you go. You dont need to blast your legs like a gym bro but please keep them functional and decent looking. Its very easy
Bigger legs simply burn more calories as you use them even when just walking around. As someone who loves good food and also enjoys having a drink with friends, this is such a great reason to train legs. They simply help with not putting on weight.
Great video, Daniel. Last year, I put some real work on my lower body following your advice and saw results beyond my expectations, although I didn't go for failure every workout. Happy New Year. We appreciate your work.
I started going to the gym cause my knees were going bad, so everyday was leg day. But since I was there anyways, started doing upper body too, and 4 years later, focusing on legs is still a joy
2:58 This statement should literally echo across the entire fitness industry as I cannot stress this enough. Everyone that never cares about the whole leg prefers bigger or more toned arms and torso, sometimes quads too. But otherwise calves, soleus, and shins are easily frowned upon. I see competitions where they stand with twigs but have remarkable upper body presentation, and the question that comes in mind is “why?”
This is why I do full body workouts. If every day is leg day, there's no temptation to skip leg day. Nor will you accumulate as much fatigue as you would from a dedicated leg day because of all the volume you have to do in one workout to progress.
Yes, full body workout is the way to go. I do it 3 days a weeks and it only costs me 90 minutes in total. Easy to maintain that, because not much time needed.
@@alexanderammerl2404 you mean 90 mins each workout or 30 mins each workout? Because I have no idea how you could fit entire body workout in under 1 hour, let alone 30 mins. Personally, it takes me like 80 mins to hit all the compound movements and 1 isolation.
@@MrHadane no, i mean 30 min per workout. I talk about pure Calisthenics here. I only do 4 exercises, one for each main body part, then 2 min break and repeat this 3 more times.
When it comes to legs I only train calves. Unless you wear short-shorts like the 70s, nobody will ever see your upper legs in public - not even on the beach. Unless you are trying to be a professional body-builder (or your upper legs are freakishly small) upper leg training isn't worth how grueling it is imo.
I really appreciate your fitness advice, which you deliver in a no-nonsense way, in such a calm and relaxed voice. It's so refreshing, compared to some well-known YTers who basically scream and hype everything they say.
Focus on weighted pull ups but have began to train my legs harder than ever before by a significant margin roughly 3 weeks ago. It could just be a coincidence but I had a bit of an upper body strength breakthrough the other day. Would like to think that the leg training had at least a small part in it. Thinking that perhaps the effort and determination I put into the leg training spilled over to other parts of my training. Also, though I assume the effect is overstated, maybe my body produced slightly more growth hormon and testosterone as a result of the much tougher leg training. Started doing 7 sets of heavy belt squats 12-15 reps ( 5 min rest between sets) on my leg day followed by isolation exercises. Have a lower back issue and don't want to load my spine so belt squats is a good exercise. Aiming to do 20 reps per set. I'm using a weight that is very heavy for me so I have to pause at the top for the reps. So each set is more like continuous 1 reps. Hell lol. Toughens you up that's for sure. Previously I did a lot of stuff for my legs but never squats because of the spine issue. Never considered belt squat machine before.
I had a similar story. I always trained legs (never skipped), but I never trained them EQUALLY. I would hon on runs, do some body weight lunges and squats, but never loaded up any of those with more weight. When I DID start programming my legs similarly to my upper body, I broke through an upper body plateau I was experiencing. I don’t have as many leg days in my weekly plan as I do upper body, but I train my legs with equal intensity now and it’s incredible the difference it’s made.
@@Spidey_Ethan Yeah it changes you thats for sure. I honestly never understood how truly grueling leg days actually can be. Upper body is childsplay in comparison. Im actually sick as a dog atm. Did legday yesterday pushing myself the furthest I have ever done in the gym. Crashed when I got home, slept for 12 hours straight and running a fever now. Did 7 sets of 12 reps on the belt squat machine, so 84 reps total. 180, 187, 190, 190, 192, 195, 200 kg. Feels fucking insane lol. Stupid as hell to train when feeling sick but at least I learned something about how hard I can push myself. Its belt squat machine so not the same as barbell in regards to weight. Still think that workout is pretty impressive. Started out using 140 kg so crazy progression.
I enjoy leg training but I've never done it consistently or really cared since all my goals are upper body skills and at 190cm many are already not possible for me without getting heavier on top of that. Looking at the rare exceptions who can perform those skills despite being heavy isn't very compelling since I'm unlikely to be on that level. I'm running out of time to make progress as it is so making it slower for no reason just doesn't seem worth it.
I don't think I'd ever consider myself someone who's overly concerned with having massive or super strong legs, but I do train them for symmetry and balance.
I never skip legs, I'm gaining mass throught my body equally, so even if planches and pullups are harder, I'll ultimately be stronger because of my weight to strength ratio, and, why would you skip legs anyways, they're the base of your body, they should be strong and resilient
I don't have any goals for my leggs beside flexibility, beeing able to jump high, run fast and endurance. I do sprints, strenghening flexibility work, jumping exercices and i go running. Thats al i need my leggs for. No need for super massive gym leggs (which actualy also reduce the relativ strengh of your leggs)
Especially for taller guy strong legs and glutes are important for calisthenics skills, nordic curls really helped me to do a L Sit and I can see an improvement in my front lever as well.
Grease the Grove (5x5) reps for deadlifts or squats really boosts testosterone, morale, optimism, and positive motivation in life with virtually no sweat. It’s a form of strength training with higher weight and long rests up to 15 minutes between sets. It can be added into daily life such as while housecleaning, working at a computer etc.
This is the reasonable point of view I was looking for so long. If I find something horrid to see, it is a guy with disproportional legs that is proud on his huge hips. So so often, it just does not look aesthetic at all. Recently I started lifting again and am also thinking about whether I should train them, as my legs are naturally already strong to the point of having a much stronger lower body than upper body. The internet would tell me to 'not skip leg day', but why should I not?
In the spirit of the video's view of respecting each other's views, I respect your view xd however, I think legs that are much stronger than the upper body in theory should naturally look the best. It reflects bipedal humans by default, our legs are supposed to be much stronger than our arms, that's how we stand on them every day.
I do bodyweight sissy squats and bulgarian single leg squats, 15-30 reps for 3-5 sets, two or three times a week as my leg workout because I don't really have access to high enough weights for my legs(I don't have a gym membership or high weights at home, just a small dumb bell and a pull up bar). I tried the gym once to see my leg strength and warmed up on leg press with a plate a side for 20 reps, and worked up to 4 plates a side for 8 reps before my messed up knees started to feel off(osgood schlatter). Nothing crazy but for someone that doesn't work his legs with weights I'm pretty happy with that.
I love training legs. Some people look at me like I am crazy when I say this but its true. I just love to go heavy, break prs and grow stubborn muscle groups of mine. I still love to train upper body and calisthenics. But calisthenics has ended up being a side thought for me. No offend to anybody btw this is just my opinion.
I dedicate 1-2 days a week to legs. i really don't want big legs, i want strong legs. Also, just like I train skills stuff for calisthenics, I train legs for being able to jump, my leg workouts are based around being able to jump higher lol.
There's too much worrying-about-what-other-people-think in this video's audio monologue. However, the regressions sprinkled throughout the visual are worth the ten-minute time investment. Good one, Daniel.
I don't like training legs cause I am stiff and thus can't move proper. 😂 But since starting kickboxing I've scaled back my goals and working on that lack of mobility. Don't need huge legs for martial arts. As long as they aren't twigs I am fine 😊 But they do need to be good in size in relation to my upper body 😅
It's a shame that you don't have the ability to put automatically translated subtitles for the general public who don't necessarily understand all of English.
honest question, i have a bulging disc l5-s1, cannot dead lift or squat with weight, are air squats, lunges and hamstring bridges with volume optimal for stronger legs?
Perfect timing I was looking the whole day today for a leg routine to grow my chicken legs and I was scared cause I got weak, stiff and small legs and don't want injury. before I start on compounds I want routine to make my legs stronger improve my joint flexibility, mobility and stability also I want to strengthen mind muscular connection. Any idea were to start there is too much information overload and im paralysed by analysis
I caved to peer pressure and trained squats for years despite having discomfort and hating it, now I have two torn labrums and a torn meniscus so I can barely train legs even if I want to 😂
There is no point in training legs. Nobody looks at a man's legs. Most of the time one wears pants. And with certain clothes, muscular legs look very bad. And developed legs make the upper part of the body look smaller.
depends on your goal, if you just want to be nice to look at then sure skip leg day if you rarely wear shorts. if you want to be a overall physically strong person then don't skip leg day
Dan, is there anything right now that makes you feel insecure or you wish you could do better? You're flexible, lean, strong, skillful, charismatic lol
Because it does not have to amount to a) weakness and, more importantly b) many guys with 'strong legs' just look horrid. The average guy already got decent legs, but to turn them into a pair of huge hams does not turn on girls mate.
@@Elucidator- You are wrong about everything. The legs dont have to be huge hams and wont look like that unless you use sorcery which only makes satans possess you or kill you.
That's a narrow minded way of seeing it. Having lighter legs increases massively increases efficiency in calisthenics. Also, legs are barely used in calisthenics and the added weight just increases the difficulty without adding anything in return on a great number of exercises.
@@JohnsonSmithson Sure, but why should a fit guy not strive to be able to do more pull ups instead of being able to push more with his legs? Not to mention the aesthetic part which you skip over: do you like the sight of legs that have completely ballooned?
@Elucidator- Bro the average guy has small legs and neither legs nor arms are the most aesthetic muscles . By thatclogic you might as well give up on training biceps .
"Never skip leg day" - is body shaming. Those who skip leg days never will go to any fitness contest anyway. We are talking advance athletes or just regular folks in the gym?
👍🏼 Focus on Lower or Upper? >>> Interesting Question❓ A: if given only one choice I would focus on Lower by “SPRINTING” in order stimulate myokine throughout the the entire body & brain 🧠 Aloha 🤙🏼 P.S. can you research “MYOKINE” and its implications on fitness. 🙏🏼 (BRAIN 🧠 and EYES 👀).

Every bit of increased metabolic rate by default helps ;)
The thing with skipping leg day, which I recently realized is that it creates imbalances which may result in injuries or chronic pain.
Excellent video as usual with a lot of various aspects to think about, all delivered in a calm and respectful way. Well Done Daniel!

Thank you for this. The internet always has to be black or white on every single issue its tiring and obnoxious
Can you do a video on RDL technique? That would be awesome!
Weighted bulgarian split squats are so damn hard! RDL feels easy compared to that demon!
Is too much weight (in squats or deadlifts) a myth? How do you know, the weight doesn‘t compromise joint health or longevity?
Never skip leg day
Every day is leg day when you set the resistance high on the elliptical.
Anyone else ever tear or sprain an LCL?
Legs take so much from recovery...
What’s the exercise called in 07:35 ? Motion looks like air jump squats but weighted? It’s not hack squat, looks like a quad-targeted exercise
Looks like a machine good morning

They are everywhere on TheyTube now. Millions of fake accounts and comments made by Zion AI.
Schedule for knock knee correction??😢
Not ok
I skip all my body parts!
Too much leg exercises will cause muscle build up. Who wants that.
As a human, we just want to crouch like a normal human does. That's all.
I smash pistols ... sprints, high jump and cycling
Perfect timing I was looking the whole day today for a leg routine to grow my chicken legs and I was scared cause I got weak, stiff and small legs and don't want injury. before I start on compounds I want routine to make my legs stronger improve my joint flexibility, mobility and stability also I want to strengthen mind muscular connection. Any idea were to start there is too much information overload and im paralysed by analysis
you can probably just start with mostly compound exercises. you can just start light and pile on 5lbs per workout.
Dude I don’t do legs because I don’t want to buy new suits just yet.
But seriously don't skip feet day
Your supposed to train legs!
Would cycling be a good way to do leg day?
Yeah train the way you like
You can get very respectable legs with cycling alone yes.
I caved to peer pressure and trained squats for years despite having discomfort and hating it, now I have two torn labrums and a torn meniscus so I can barely train legs even if I want to 😂
Lucky boy😂
Finally,what's up?
Tldr; no
No one wants to be Johnny Bravo...
look at joe biden, when deciding to skip leg day or not.
What’s leg day?
There is no point in training legs. Nobody looks at a man's legs. Most of the time one wears pants. And with certain clothes, muscular legs look very bad. And developed legs make the upper part of the body look smaller.
