    A few other alternatives for yall:
    Quads
    - shrimp squat
    - Pistol squat
    Hamstring:
    - single leg hamstring Bridge (elevated when too easy)
    Glutes:
    - single leg glute bridge (elevated when too easy)
    And you should workout you tibialis anterior too, its the antagonist of the calfs located at the shin and it adds significant size to the lower body. Just do some controlled bodyweight tibialis raises in the high rep range . It helps a lot for those who have small calves!

    Dude, after years of casual training I can say, that you are the number one reason why I always kept going back to bodyweight exercises. You became my go to guy when I needed inspiration or an example of good form for my own exercises.
    The biggest game changer for me by far were the rings. Man, without the rings and the many, many different exercises I would´t have made any gains or progress. Your training advice was fundamental to my gains in strength, mobility and size.
    And even if that sounds weird: I think you have the perfect phyisique!

    For tall guys those step ups work better than barbell squats. I d been squatting for 20+ years. Back problems and... no big results. But when I started doing those box sit ups.. I could not believe how efficient they are for building your legs. Not only quads, but the other side of legs too

I am Brazilian, and my country is not in good working conditions, the situation is precarious, I can not afford to acquire their training programs, I would undoubtedly buy with pleasure if I had the conditions, so if it were possible to put a Legend in Portuguese would help me a lot. I do not know if it's you that whoever to put it, or if it's somebody else, I do not know how it works. Anyway, thank you, you are incredible, a great professional, I inspire you, I also want to be a physiotherapist, continues to post videos that is helping me a lot! Thank you very much!

    Was already doing lots of these! BUT I learned when I got knee pain that I'm not using my butt enough / am over-using my quads.
    My PT recommended doing glute bridge raises on a ball, and they look easy but are REALLY hard. If you don't have a ball, turn your feet inwards and you'll engage similar muscles, but the difficulty is far less due to the instability the ball brings.
    I'm also doing clamshells, side leg raises, and lunges (but keeping my hip square and making sure my butt/hip is engaged, not my quads), and knee pain has gotten lots better.
    So if you're seeing similar problems, talk to a PT...hopefully my experience helps looking into it!

    What do you think about sissy squats instead of leg extensions ?

      Hi there :)
      Sissy Squats are simply a harder progression of the leg extensions. If you can do them properly, you can replace the Natural Leg Extensions with those for sure! Just be mindful of the added intensity to this workout, and adjust volume and intensity accordingly.

    The activation I get from the squat calf raises is insane, cant think of any exercise that felt quite like that.

    How is the step up different to one leg squat in terms of muscle rescruitment?

      Both are same but one leg squat is harder because of the involvement of the non supporting leg which you need to bring in front of your body when going down, one leg squat also has some balancing component to it, you need to balance yourself or you'll fall right away so basically it requires more inter muscular coordination while step up is kind of isolation movement.

      The high step action activates the glutes more than a floor squat.

      I think if you'd stop halfway on a pistol squat like daniel did on a step up, there is no difference

      it's focusing more on your glutes...

    Form-question: Do you use a limited ROM in the nordic curl? 2:12 I see you are using a slightly higher box to put your hands on in the end of the eccentric. The box is not on the same level with the bench.
    I recently tried to lower the intensity of hamstring-curls by holding on to a light resistance band with my hands that comes from above. This way I get a more controlled and slower eccentric even in the endrange, where I would otherwise loose control of the movement because it gets too hard. The resistance band makes it possible to straighten my legs and get them parallel to the floor. Do you think this is useful or is there even potential danger in it? Thank you very much for making such good content!
