When it comes to building your legs at home...Chances are you don't have a leg press or other fancy machines...Maybe not even a squat rack. But you don't need those to build strong legs...And in today's new video on the Live Anabolic UA-cam channel...Coach Gary will take you through 3 awesome leg exercises to build strength and muscularity with dumbbells!
Sooo with the tricon exercise how many sets, or just that one set of nine? I ask because you showed three exercises but n sets range, and if I’m going to get my over 50 sexy on then I want to do it right. Thanks in advance coach G!
So much content on here are from young trainers ,its nice to see one for an age group that knows the changes a person goes through as they get older. Every one of your series i have tried i have less joint pain and much faster recovery. Thanks for the great content ! You are awesome!
Thanks for the video sir! I had reconstructed hip surgery when I was younger so it's painful to do a lot of exercises. You talk about older men. I'm 42 and trying to get in the best shape of my life.... I think it's possible
Stay strong Ross. I had fai/cam repair/modified hip when I 32. Did a lot of reserve single leg lunges and hip bridges. I’m gonna concentrate on squats and deadlift this winter My glute secret last year. Single leg reverse lunge with a DB in opposite hand of leg working.
Thank you for this Great Leg Option. I am age 78, and built a home gym Squat rack, Cables, dip bars etc. But at 6ft 2in. I feel very insecure in lower back doing dead lifts and 100 pound bar squats. Now your technique gives me a safe way to confidently build legs with confidence. John K.
When I was younger I used to do front squats. I like goblets better now. I also do Zercher squats because it keeps the torso upright. In the future can you do a video on how you would do them safely. Thank you. You have excellent form on your movements
Gary, many thanks for this workout. I have just completed it. It smoked me! I thought I was reasonably fit, started with 47 lbs DBs, managed 3 rounds and had to reduce the weight to 36lbs. Even so! Holy Banana! My thighs were pumped, my mid back knew all about it (from the goblets) and it was a good cardio workout. I'll start with 36 lbs next time and focus on the form and making it to ten seconds on all the Tricon holds. This should be a time saver but it's going to take me ten minutes to get off this chair! Thanks again!
I was enjoying your video on the only 3 leg excercises you need. I understand the 9 reps for 1st excercise..but how many reps and sets for the other two...I'm 62 yes of age and I really believe that this could help me...thanks
Keep in mind, the Five stars are based on my needs for this item ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxUHHotQRjIQnfuxEeVotlkHVYWH0DXZoS When I first bought the bike I was going to return it immediately. After trying it out for several days/weeks I came to realize it is actually perfect for WHY I bought it.This is not a workout, the resistance is, eh, it makes a bit of noise, not loud, and it isn’t very stable even with the mat. The mat certainly keeps the bike from sliding but nothing keeps the mat from sliding (if that makes any sense, lol). Mine is place on my hard wood floor. Maybe it would be better with a rug underneath??I sit for long hours for work and wanted something to keep my legs moving. This bike does exactly that! For the price it is amazing, it is compact, easy to use, light weight, keeps track of time, calories etc (not sure how accurate it is) but good little product. I am happy with it.
Hi Gary, I want to thank you for these three Leg exercises. They undoubtedly work very well for me. I recently created my own "Micro Gym" (I call it). And I can say that it works well too. I can use it with clients and get quality training , as I am a certified trainer as well. Thank you !. And thank you for Live Anabolic. Stay Fit.. Never Quit. 🏋💪, Irwin
Thanks a lot for the video and all the tips. It would be great to see a similar approach on what exercises to do with DBs to hit the calves and the shin muscles. The lower part of the legs is what I've tried to develop better but haven't got good results.
I try your Tricon .Thank you it is great and coming from a Men training for 68 years and celebrating 88 year means a lot !!!! Thank you again for a great workout .K/A
I liked video great to see I can do these exercises with my dumbbells. Especially beneficial for those such as myself to tone up now that I am in my 50's
I'm 17 and my ankle mobility is mad awful, my ankles lift so much its unreal.. I believe they got so bad because my calves were so developed and my hamstrings, legs overall had just no muscle whatsoever.. Im now 85kg and slowly cutting my fat right now, this video should help a lot, thank you !
Hi Gary. Loved the video. If you are so kind to give us clarification on how many sets and reps ? Only Tricon for the first exercise right? As always. Thank you for wonderful content. Looking forward for your reply so I can incorporate this leg workout to my routine.
Great video and great form. I’m 61 and am squatting 220 and deal lifting 240 twice a week and progressing slowly. Do I need these dumbbell exercise? I guess I could do the barbell versions with much higher weight and maybe lighter dumbbells on off days for mobility?
This is excellent stuff. Great great explanations. Glad I came across this video. Coming from squatting 500 lbs in my 20s and 30s, these exercises are a great alternative because I no longer want to do squats but still would like to do alternative exercises. This is perfect.
I agree with this plan except I would trade out the heel-elevated squats for a unilateral exercise. DB lunges would be a great 3rd exercise (for single-leg strength).
Excellent video. So many former gym goers say you have to have a leg press and skip legs because they don't have one at home. Thanks for showing people how it's done
My stomach upper body etc all looks brilliant but my legs are taking forever I'm definitely going to take all the tips you've given here with the blocks etc and slow down I've been doing sets of fifty deadlifts and squats but the muscle isn't as prominent as I'd like , but considering my waist is tiny my legs were chunky so there taking longer 'plus ive lost 13kls but any tips are welcome 🙏🏻 xx
My pile of dumbbells are furniture in my living room, untouched, so this is exactly the motivation I needed to pick them up. I'm 75 do mat stretches every day and lost 30 pounds purposely (starting at 165, 5'9") an old man switch went off : ) so I need to put some muscle back on to go with my yoga block mat work. Thanks (watched the DB bench vid before this.)
Definitely need to do these just to help stabilise my back more, used to be a gym rat so to speak but genetics has caught up with me over the years so now I have to change up my training to have mobility and strength instead of being able to do a workout and then seize up like the rusted Tin man, my back has definitely seen better days, can't do barbell sqauts or barbell deadlifts, now I'm more or a dumbbell guy which has definitely shown which side has the strength imbalance develope over the years.
Good ones that cover the legs, thx very much, but we noticed calves were ignored...those are part of the legs too and we were wondering why they weren't mentioned at all. Guessing they're way overrated and not necessary anymore?
Awesome Video. This is pretty much my new leg workout. Do you recommend doing anything additional for calves? Or are these three exercises adequate to develop reasonable calves too? Thank You very much for your high value videos!!!
I really like the content from Live Anabolic. I would like to ask Gary or Mark if there is a video for quads exercises with dumbbells in your archives. If not, are there plans to shoot such a video. Thanks!
I’m 6’2 and only weigh a little over 120 pounds, been super skinny a long long time. Can see my muscle outlines so I’m trying to put some weight on and don’t want my legs to stay the same hahaha thanks for the video
@@stone7069 yeah after my last doctors appointment I’m close to 50 or 60 pounds underweight. Been trying to make myself eat more but it’s hard since I’m not in the habit of eating all day long.
Hi Gary, g'day from Sydney Australia. Thanks for all your vids, exercise is now fun and I have just turned 60. Is it ok to wear a 9kg weighted vest while doing leg workouts to increase the workout ? Thanks in advance.
I’m 69 this month. I have been lifting since I was 16 years old. Workouts going great but I have a bulging disc issue so it’s hard to work on my glutes and legs. These workouts could be the answer.
Sir, is it okay for a 59 year old to use my Hack Squat bar for my legs? Will I see similar results using either one? Thanks and look forward to reading your response.
thank you for explaing the RDL...ive been doing them completely fking wrong...and my lowerback is jacked the fk up..piriformis pain is insane right now
Turning 66, just had hip replacement surgery and working on regaining mobility and flexibility. I can’t get all the way down yet, will these work at maybe the 1/2 way bend?
58 yo guy...ankle mobility isn't my problem... chronic knee pain and right hip pain from running in College and Army life are...Goblet squats are my thing, really help mobility/ROM....RDL do them but don't enjoy them....Coach, if I don't have ankle mobility problems do I need the heals elevated squats...is this an old guy safety thing (I am old....and a guy) or just for guys with tight Achilles tendons?
DB Squats are great if you train alone. Even if I had a barbell and rack I'd be worried about a failure fuck up honestly. Always done goblets and DB press personally.

I always liked being able to outrun and outjump dudes who focused on having huge legs.
This is a good one, I was looking to fine tune my leg work for the calisthenics routine I am doing. Thanks!
Sooo with the tricon exercise how many sets, or just that one set of nine?
I ask because you showed three exercises but n sets range, and if I’m going to get my over 50 sexy on then I want to do it right.
Thanks in advance coach G!
Sets and frequency?
do we do exercise 2 and 3 9 reps each like exercise 1?
Here are the time stamps for each exercise
1:23
3:15
6:45
Thank you😀
1. Dumbbell Goblet squat
2. Romanian deadlift
3. Heels elevated db squat
TYSM!!

Think I will be incorporating this leg work instead of doing the old traditional barbell squat. Thanks Gary
one of the better videos you guys have produced, lass waffle straight to the point and very informative, thank you.
Gary Walker you're the best! Thank you for all you do to make us better and the world better
All exercises are very excellent and brilliant sir doing the workout of legs and keep going hard and be strong always sir
Im definitely going to use this. Thanks a bunch 👍👍👍

Perfect for today. I’m out on drs orders from head jarring workouts so this is a savior, thanks!

Am impressed by your sheer muscular intelligence. Big thank you from an older guy.🇬🇧
I try your Tricon .Thank you it is great and coming from a Men training for 68 years and celebrating 88 year means a lot !!!! Thank you again for a great workout .K/A
You explain things right!!!
Your explanation is very clear. ❤
Thank you! This channel is great! Really appreciate they way you explain and show each exercise.
Thank you. I've bookmarked about 10 of your DB workout videos. This is awesome, AND today is leg day for me. Best workout instruction on the internet.
Some really good info. One thing...I was taught to NEVER go below 90° on any squats. It's really bad on knees.
Me too re no deeper than 90 degrees but Gary is going lower; isn’t that a no-no?
Well I was taught that tension on the muscle when it's at maximum stretch is better for muscle length rather than partial reps.
I liked video great to see I can do these exercises with my dumbbells. Especially beneficial for those such as myself to tone up now that I am in my 50's
Thank you very much for sharing this explosives Leg exercises and with safety in mind..very troughral explained !👍
Hey GREAT videos! Can you give some tips on how to strengthen inside leg area?
Thanks buddy - just what I was looking for.👌🏻
Awesome!
Looking forward to adding these to my routine.

Best RDL explanation I’ve seen
Good workout advice
Thanks 💪
Great information thank you
Us older guys thank you for the tips. Its the little things that are wrong with our form that destroy our knees. Really cool gym!!
How much to do each day, how many times a week is not recommended based on age and goals etc.
Pls mention that.
