This just shows how complicated the fitness industry is right now. Ryan has papers and studies backing him up about stretching the muscles to get best growth and not doing the same exercises everytime for more growth, and yet there are other fitness instructors who also have papers and studies that say the exact opposite. Maybe everyone's right or everyone's wrong I have no clue
thats right bud and ive been trying to apply his routine and a constant one just to know which routine makes the most effect to my body. anyways, it is all in the form and almost mostly in diet.
Garage Style, Drop Set, Legs… probably the most BRUTAL leg workout, it finished ME! Ryan’s programs are the best $40 I’ve spent on myself. His YT videos are a bonus.
As a PT with many years of experience I can say this guy knows his stuff and provides facts. Everything in this video I have used for years, especially with athletes after an ACL tear and works great. I like using the last 30def before TKE to target the VMO.
God bless you. PT students were my lab assistance in gross anatomy. You guys are phenomenal and i would argue you guys know anatomy better than the med students
The details that make your videos extraordinary. The ones that explain how and why, but then the ones that make me laugh throughout the whole video 😂 As always, good one 👏

This man saved my entire life, applied his workouts on my workouts and I grew a lot in 5-6 weeks. (With a lot i mean what I find a lot, I can clearly see a difference)
Yes!!! Thank you for this. I've been saying some of this for years, just must less elegantly. I'm 6'5", and have disproportionately long legs. The way I load my legs changes depending not just on the type of movement, but the angle/rotation of the various axis points of my legs.

Love your videos. Always informative and full of high capacity gym humor. Been working out for about 10 years and It's awesome to learning from your content! Much appreciated my man!
Ryan has caused me INTENSE leg pain for two plus years now. I used to hate leg day. Now I hate it more. But I love it more too. I work legs now with such “connection” that at the end of my sesh (ya…I’m 64 and I just said Sesh…haha) I need my wife to get my cane so we can walk out of the gym. My F-250 doesn’t have a running board and it sometimes takes me two attempts to hop in after leg day. So. Yeah. Ryan. You are a real pain in my glutes. But I love you man.
all facts. I was involved in a motorcycle accident that left me with a full pcl tear on my left knee. My biokineticist said i need strong quads now more than ever to support the knee. Naturally obsessed over that and she told me when doing leg extensions to point my foot outward to hit the tear drop and point my foot inward tto hit the outtersweep. works like a charm.
I'm turning on all notifications!!! Nothing like a comedic approach when teaching. Reminds me of that chill as all hell 7th Grade science teacher who made his class the highlight of my day. Now you're the highlight of my UA-cam.
Awesome Video as always. The medial part of the Quads works especially the last 30° of knee extension. So: if you just explode out of the flexion, you will build more of the other 3 parts. Because by that you accelerate the weight and than skip the working-radius of the medial head. Especially in the simple Leg Extension you should go up slow (3-4 sec) till FULL ROM (weight has to be light enough so you can reach the same maximum extension like you would without weight) !!! Do it, and you will feel your medial part much much more. It also keeps your knee "healthier" because the medial head is the only one that centers your patella to the inside - which is very Importen.
Thanks so much!!? Everything I got came from a physical therapy perspective for people who had weak Quads overall. Ive been dealing with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome as my Vastus Lateralis has grown notlicibly but mot so much the VMO. Tweaking my leg workout in this manner has really helped a lot.
your stuff is without a doubt THE best on YT. straight to the point, funny as hell and CORRECT. when I'm telling people about how they should learn real deal bodybuilding I point them to your channel
This is the best training presentational video I have watch in a long time. Amusing, interesting, engaging and informative all at the same. Excellent. 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for explaining this. I've actually been doing the toe pointing thing doing hamstring curl and leg extension for years and didn't know what was happening. Just knew one was harder.
Ryan, you probably won’t see this because you get so Many comments on your videos but I have a few good things to say. I love your take on your videos. Muscle connection is sooo important when lifting. And it’s so easy to get distracted in the gym. I’ve been lifting 5x/week for 11 years, have competed in many powerlifting competitions and done a number of programs. But yours is so much different than the rest and actually produces results. I’ve gained about 15lbs since listening to your words and program. I might of have looked really fucking weird doing it but who gives a shit what other people think. Highly recommend any advanced lifter try out Ryans programs
Not smart enough to call bs on what you say but your humor in ur vids indicates passion for what you do. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned in work in any field is pay attention to the guy who is most passionate About his art, not necessarily the one who’s most “qualified”
Did martial arts before I got into lifting. Spent a lot of time in 'horse stance' with the knees pushed over the toes (shins parallel not ^ shaped) my lateral head are still huge. Once I started lifting and a lot of squats did the tear drop start coming in. So they absolutely respond to different stimulus.
Even though these are a killer exercises for your legs, a workout alone wouldn't make any noticeable results if isn't combined with a structured diet aligned with your goals. You need quality nutrients in exact portions to make sure your body will regenerate all these damaged muscle tissues and not store unnecessary fat in the process. I'm following Next Level Diet fat loss meal plan for 6 weeks and Im more than happy with the results so far. I feel that Im getting stronger and I have more energy.
Love everything you say, subscribing now! When lying hamstring curling, I get into full contraction, then shake off my foot loosening up my gastroc, I do this every 3-4 reps, my gastrocs are super over active from my skater years.
Dude! I laughed my ASS off during this entire, very educational video. Bought your full 30-day workout, did all the exercises in this video, can barely sit. Almost threw up on the Hack Squat and feel like you’re who content creators wish to be when they grow up. Fucking amazing work 🎉
That plantar and dorsiflexion talk about the gastrocnemius affecting your ability to generate force is super interesting. I've started doing Jiu Jitsu recently and they advised us not to point our toes when we have someone in a triangle choke and I wondered why until now. Super cool video I don't think I've seen more informative and well explained exercise videos.
Ryan is out here not only doing graduate-level work, but making it entertaining and available to the masses. Somebody please just give him a doctorate degree! Good Lord. Academia is so damn arrogant.
Just wanna leave my two cents (gratitude more so) here for you Ryan, I’ve been bingeing your videos and building workouts using your techniques and dieting advice for the past 3 months. Started at 200.1lbs at 5’10” and peeled all the way to 177lbs and am slowly adding muscle back up. I’m up about 5lbs this month in mass and have added an inch to my arms, 2” to chest and legs have been the slowest. Just found this video, so if it’s like anything else you’ve made, results can be expected. Thank you for the effort you put into these videos
I just RANDOMLY came across your video and it's BY far THE BEST!! VERY INFORMATIVE and the humor is spot on! I won't even fast forward through any of your videos.. it's just th@ GOOD! Keep it up RH!
Could you plz make a video about the difference between Natural vs steroids athletes training session sets, reps, lenght how heavy should natural go. Thnk u for your awsome videos
How about leaning forward at the hips on your knee extension machine to put the rectus femoris on slack and further isolate the vastus medialis/lateralis? Same principal as the plantar flexion during hamstring curls
It’s all about how it feels. I can definitely feel my quads shift in area tension depending on how I angle my legs during leg extensions. Proper form, lighter weight(build up to heavier weight of course), and high volume. No doubt this is true. You can feel it if you workout 😂
Something you didn't mentionned with hamstrings is that by externaly rotating the foot you engage the biceps femoris (outer hamstring) more and with internal rotation you inhibit the biceps femoris therefore working the semimembranosus and the semitendinosus (inner hamstring) more.
Plantarflexion during leg curls is gold. I agree, by taking the stretch out of gastroc, it cannot assist in knee flexion. Muscles are strongest from a stretched position (but not too stretched) and definitely not from a contracted position. Makes perfect sense!
I seriously hope Ryan makes more workout programs cause I’d keep buying them. All great programs. Ryan pretty much explained this like a religious person that would throw the Bible at a non believer head 😂
I’ve subscribed to this recently and was probably one of the best ideas I’ve had in a long time. It is so good to hear someone say what needs to be said. You have really changed my way of looking at gym work. And I’ve been doing this (now I know really shitty) long time. So cheers dude. Much appreciated and keep up the brilliant work you do. P.s. it’s easier to take these shitty, shit my pants workouts with some classic humour! Cheers. P.p.s that is the correct way to spell humour 😬
Thank you so much for all these videos bro. I'm buying anything you put out even if I don't follow it to a T, I support 100 percent what you're doing 💪 I aspire to be more like you brother 👍
You are absolutely right I used to work out and turn my legs in a different I will have more pain the next day on one side of my leg the next week I would do the opposite and have more pain on the other side of my leg. I applied this squats working my calves working my shoulders and my arms. Trust me my workout with much-improved.
This is actually one of Ryan's "longer" videos and it's not even long at all lol. This dude broke down the factual science, why he doesn't agree, a solid workout, and funny nutsack jokes all in a matter of 11 minutes. Ryan Humiston is GOATed. 🐐
your jokes got better and tigthened up the language just a bit from earlier ones i'd seen of you. still gritty and manly and funny, but a better quality these days in my opinion. great job.
I was doing leg curls 2 days ago with my feet in every different position possible because my hamstrings are garbage. pointing my toes away killed me and also included calves a ton more
I promise you could make a 30 mins video and I’ll sit and watch the whole thing. However, I love how you ALWAYS give so much with little time. I tried the leg curls and ouch the burn feels like gains 😊
I love that you use actual research. I also love how you taped them to the wall and threw the rest of the papers at it 🤣🤣🤣 the best. Thank you for the office joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I do physiotherapy for my knee where I do a half wall sit meaning my depth is not all the way down to 90° and this strengthens the inside muscle above the knee so basically he’s right lol
Just finished my first week of Ryan’s full gym program. I’m thoroughly enjoying it so far even though I have never been so sore in my life! Great stuff Ryan!
Bro, that is some next-level storytelling. I have never seen anyone making fitness educational videos so engaging and easy to understand. Well done man!
Can we appreciate the fact that he went through actual pain to give us gym advice?
Ah, NA!
He did it cos he loves it.. its not pain to him...
He done it for himself just let us join him
Fr
Are you new here? Things have always been this way
I do this on a Monday. Why? Becasue if anyone is going to ruin my week, its me.... So miserable.
Now That’s pretty good
That’s the spirit.
Same here been doing legs on Mondays for over a decade!
A man of culture.
This is the way

thats right bud and ive been trying to apply his routine and a constant one just to know which routine makes the most effect to my body. anyways, it is all in the form and almost mostly in diet.
And also depends on the methodology, if the reasoning is invalid or not, etc.
honestly don’t think it matters a lot. just getting in the gym everyday will have the biggest gains
@@benwells3416 yup. But with proper form to prevent injury. I dont even have someone to teach me just yt itself. Hahaha.
Garage Style, Drop Set, Legs… probably the most BRUTAL leg workout, it finished ME!
Ryan’s programs are the best $40 I’ve spent on myself. His YT videos are a bonus.
@@hamburger1 Or you can just squat and get stronger than doing leg extensions for that long lmao
Just wait until you do the gym program..
Hacksquat routine that will take your soul….
Oh god, that one had me walking like a freaking duck for a week afterwards. This man has helped me build muscle like no other.
Agree 100% Never felt soreness like that in my life!!!
These comments feel like bots posting them but soreness and having muscle pain for week is not efficient way to build muscle
you have honestly become one of my fav ppl to come watch on youtube. your humor reminds me of how the world. used to be. i thank you good sir.
Damn Dude you can dump so much info effortlessly!

I didn't realize what was in the bag until the second time I watched the video. These gifts keep giving. LOL

I love that you use actual research. I also love how you taped them to the wall and threw the rest of the papers at it 🤣🤣🤣 the best.
Thank you for the office joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bro I laughed off my couch when you talked about the calf’s near the end. Do the outer, do the inner, then fuck em both 😂😂😂
I do physiotherapy for my knee where I do a half wall sit meaning my depth is not all the way down to 90° and this strengthens the inside muscle above the knee so basically he’s right lol

Just finished my first week of Ryan’s full gym program. I’m thoroughly enjoying it so far even though I have never been so sore in my life! Great stuff Ryan!

I've been following you for year and this is the best video you've ever posted.
Bro you're hilarious every of the times.
Love your programs and they way you explain
