MONTHLY COACHING WITH JOE (Garage/home style workouts)

I have been leaning forward for more than a year and men it really does helps with the concentration and squeeze on that specific muscle. I personally have benefit from leaning but that doesn’t mean that everyone should do it. Great video like always !
For over a year now whether lying or seated I took John Meadow's advice by lightening the weight and pointing my toes. Plantar vs dorsal flex the foot. The stretch and intensity multiplier is CRAZY. It's really brought out the sweep or width from the side. Plus I like when I put shorts or pants on and my hamstrings are filling out the back 😁
Do you point your toes upward or forward
@@notacrew69 guess it'd be forward. Like you're in your tip toes.
Yes! We use silly names to get my clients to remember positioning. This we call "midget in a high chair." To create the proper pelvic tilt, I've found that bringing the back seat forward until they naturally tilt stops forward motion, and puts my athletes in the right position. If they keep their head in a natural position not looking down, the tilt usually happens naturally. Great for folks with long legs and eliminates the "hauling" ability. No need for heavy weight either. Treating the hamstrings like biceps, ( in French hamstring literally translates to "leg bicep") is often a way to get the proper mental focus.
Love this video
LOL I asked this question on your first video but that's answered it. It's "obvious" now that you explain it. Thank you so much for this series!
I feel more lengthening when I lean forward (from the hip and chest pushed out). When I sit straight up I feel I'm not working the hamstring fully.
In my untrained professional opinion, I think what people feel when they lean forward in the leg curl machine is their own body mass pressing down more on their quads, giving them the sensation of more stretch. I may be wrong but that's why I watch these videos. Keep up the great work. :)
No, it's because hip flexion ( AKA What happens when you lean forward during a seated leg curl) stretches your hamstrings more
In a nutshell, you need to 'hip hinge' forward. But, as you say, some don't have the proprioception or even the mobility to know what parts are actually rotating forward. Same with trying to distinguish between crunching and hip flexing!
Even sitting upright in these machines, I can't brace myself strongly enough to stop from sliding forward on the seat when I use a decent load. Jeez, it's not for training triceps! They should all come with seat belts 😅
The Coach I’ve always needed. Thanks!! 💪🏾🙌🏾
Thanks
thanks!!
Awesome explanations on all 3 videos 🙌
as always, good stuff!!
Loved this series, would love you to do one for glutes.. and quads and back and shoulders 😂
How can I make that leaned-forward position more stable so my abs and lower back muscles aren’t a limiting factor?
Loved this series! Funny how when I watched part 2 on the leg press and it’s relationship with hamstrings, you clarified quite nicely that the hamstrings are more isometrically trained….then I go through the algorithm of UA-cam (and without naming names) I see bodybuilders on their channels promoting hamstring training and attributing growth through leg press and squatting lol
Should I lean forward in leg extensions?
If you want to further shorten the rec fem, and it comes from hip flexion and not spinal flexion. Both ways will likely take away from overall quad output. So I don’t really ever program it
Yeah, No.
You actually want to ab crunch to stabilize hips to isolate hamstring or quad engagement. You will be able to feel better squeeze on both muscles through ab crunch contraction to stabilize
@@rockon8174 try if your hip moves you have less
You have more activation. If you lock your hips down w an ab crunch not a lean forward you will feel the difference. Try and see before you shoot it down. You can actually feel a huge difference. Move less gain more. Hamstring crosses hip joint, hip joint stays fixed w Ab crunch, hamstrings engage more no faulty logic.
I suggest leaning back as far as possible (or getting in a "posterior pelvic tilt") if you want to really target the rectus femoris (the only quad muscle that crosses the hip joint).
Also I have an anterior pelvic tilt bro 😎
Are you going to do this also for the other muscle groups?
Can you do a video about Unilateral training Pros and Cons?
I should have sought out this question and subsequent video prior to asking a question on your most recent seated hamstring video! This was a great video!
Okay, great. But what if my gym doesn't have the specific brand of leg curl you drew? 🤔
I dont understand. Why do some want to lengthen the hamstring on a seated leg curl when the idea is to shorten it and focus on the contraction. Is it to change the contraction relative to the pelvis?
It’s good to train muscles through their full contractile ROM. So if someone had more hip flexion, and didn’t lean forward, they would not train their hams fully lengthened range
What I also notice is that most women lean forward during adductions/abductions, but that makes those movents less intense.
@HypertrophyCoach If I purchase one of your drawings, will it also include a lifetime membership to your app?
How come, the stick drawings evolved 😂
Great video bro!
Hello coach, the strech I feel when leaning forward is majorly in the muscles at the back of my knee and upper calf. What does this mean?
Thanks Joe , great information, oh is shipping included . 😂lol
Hamstrings are the topic of the week I see. I do lying leg curls only as well as nordic curls
Hey coach what do you think about the pendulum squat with a counter weight vs without the counter weight? :)
It’s just supposed to be used for people that can’t tolerate the starting load of the weight of the machine itself
Was waiting for this.
I might be drawing a blank but is there 1 exercise that involves completely lengthening the hamstring to completely shortening the hamstring via pelvic AND knee area?
Thanks!
Glute ham raises. John Meadows (may he RIP) did multiple videos with this movement.
You could do GHR's that way yes. What I find with that movement is that you're obviously far stronger at the hip extension part than the knee flexion part due to the glute involvement (hence why you can RDL more than you can leg curl) so you end up limited by the latter when it comes to loading and it's is why you see people use a lot of momentum when performing it.
Personally if using a GHR bench I'd pick one thing to train: so back extensions for pure hip flexion, knee flexion only like a Nordic curl keeping the hips as extended as possible, or a razor curl where it's also knee flexion only but the hips stay fully flexed throughout.
@@PaulSteere Yeah, I can fully agree with your resistance curve argument. In my previous gym they had a GHR bench and I used a resistance band to ease the curl part of the movement. I realize it was sub-optimal, so someone who could built a machine to perform this exercise with enough resistance during the full ROM would be a biomechanical genius in my book. Anyway, I mostly combine leg curls with cable pull throughs for my hamstring work.
Nope. Not loaded.
"Go watch part 1" the Sass haha
Next video should be how to train lats and hamstrings effectively with dumbells and bands 😞
Just saw Jeff Nippard doing this on his story😂😂
Nothing wrong with the forward lean. If it comes from hip flexion. (Which is the one sentence version of this video 🤷♂️)
@@HypertrophyCoach I didn't mean anything, just saying that he does this too
He also talked about it in his latest PPL video
Just noticed the ham DL screenshot , you’re wearing DCs. Man of culture I see 🤌🏼
Exactly 😂
I hate politics but it’s for the algo so… Biden is going to mandate anterior pelvic tilts for everyone who doesn’t train their hammies
😂😂😂
Let’s Go Brandon! (the the algorithm)
Comment for algorithm
Nooooo....we want the wiggly pinky videoo
Ok. Just for you.
algo
What about that politics eh. Very politicy isn’t it?
My hamstrings live in my basement. They have rats for friends.
Tell em I said hey 👋
