Considering the function of the big toe and how they get crushed by "normal" shoes, would you ever switch to barefoot shoes, even lifting shoes with a proper fit? More for closed chain exercises.
Really insightful video Ben, thanks for all the content Would you say the leg ext have any tension on the lenghtened position? I like to do some partials on them and i feel some stretch maybe its my bro acience
thanks for watching and for the support :) they will not fully stretch all of the quads, especially the rectus femoris (the one that also crosses the hip), but they get the single joint quads pretty close to fully stretched, especially if you have a leg extension that allows you a lot of clearance. the pendulum squat trains the single joint quads in their fully stretched position, which is why i also include those instead of 6 sets of just leg extension.
@@The_Modern_Meathead my quad day is pretty much pendulums and leg ext twice a week Its a muscle group i want to bring up! The ratio of sets would you say its more towards the squat pattern?
Would love to see a Video for every workout of the program ! At lest a different day every week. Great work.
This video style was incredible and definitely my favorite.
Thanks 🙏
Loving the new format. Thank you.
great to hear. thanks for watching!
@@The_Modern_Meathead my new gym has a plate loaded Strive Leg Extension Machine. Would you recommend loading the end, middle or top range? Thanks.
i'd load the top and middle pegs 50/50@@homeboy11153

what exactly do you mean by crushed? and why would that impair function?
Hi Ben, if Pendulum is a mix between a squat and a leg ext, wouldn't be redundant to do both leg ext and pendulum?
