Hey Bradley, thanks for the tip regarding doing leg extensions first in order to get blood into the legs. I usually start off legs with squats followed by bicep curls and lat pulls then I don't hit legs again for a month. Real talk.
+TrickyMicky123456 I could never do the olympic hand position style until I just forced myself to do it with light weight for a while. Do it at least once a week for about a month or two and your wrists will adjust and become more flexible. Exactly the thing that happened to me and I've been so happy because crossing my arms brings a lot of pain with heavier weight, but the olympic style lets me focus on contracting and moving rather than how much it hurts.
Me neither! I have a weird technique. I put my thumbs under the bar, with my fingers (over the bar) pressed against my jaw/face. Pretty much my palms are on my face/jawline, and I try and keep my elbows pushing towards the ceiling. Looks crazy, but it's the most comfortable position I've found since I have had wrist surgery and 0 wrist mobility. I have a front squat video on my channel if you're interested in seeing my hand position.
Bradley possibility you can make a video on accessory exercises to improve your deadlifts? rack pulls, deficits, back extentions, even ur front squats. I think itd be a sick video. Im stuck at 550 deadlift and really looking to get past my plateau
Ignore the 'long intro' comments. They are hilarious! I watch your videos because they are informative AND entertaining. ...sure I am not the only one?
I see these are great for core, hamstrings, quads, even lower back - but what are some great alternatives to work the muscles below your knees - how many different variations for calf exercises.
I got 2 leg days. one for hamstrings and other for quads. I do regular back squat for hammies & front for quadzoids. it helps with mind and muscle connection.
I think I'm going to work in some of these exercises! Prob do preacher curl instead of quad extensions tho. And skull crushers instead of ham curls. And prob do concentrated curls instead of dumbbell dead lift. Might end up doing over head tricep extensions instead of front squats as well. Im not a fan of the Bradley Martyn deadlift, so i'll just do standing barbell curls instead. 21's instead of walking lunges for sure tho. But yeah, I think this work out is going to help my 'legs' get a lot stronger! Thanks Brad!
omg yes front squats. my background is stronglifts then a powerlifting gym. had to take a break, on my own again, and I've just started back, and beginning my front squats. its like starting all over again 😥😅😥😅😥😅
Despite the MORONIC and CHILDISH intros where he babbles with the cameraman, this guy has arguably the BEST lifting advice on all of UA-cam. Even experienced lifters can always get a great couple of tips in every vid.
Yo man, I need some workouts for that lower abs/ lower back, the best ways to burn that stubborn fat areas!!! Help me out!!! Dieting, eating right only goes so far for me.
Bradley with your leg routines do you stretch before or after or at all? You talk about warming up but not stretching just curious if you do abd you do when abd what?
+Bob Johnson stretch your wrists beforehand, and just use as many fingers on the bar as possible. I only use my first 2-3 fingers. (thats what she said)
+Tom Mcdaddy absolutely, variated squats with free weights actually helped my knees, they no longer swell from standing for hours at a time, pop, or shooting pain after running ... I'm trying to build up my calves though big time.
I always had like anterior knee pain, iv laid off of it for awhile now but the pain comes back every now and then, and i hyper extended my knee a coupld months ago and still can feel the pain. havent worked out my legs in a year like actual weight lifting. What do you guys suggest i do ?
+yangstaboi101 I have a really fucked up left knee but what I found is that I can still do squats and other leg workouts, I just have to warm up A LOT. So before I work legs I'll get on the bike elliptical for 10 minutes and then before I do back squats, it actually warms my knees up to do front squats or box squats beforehand.
ArcadianWarrior Hey ill try it out thanks alot! Do u get sore or you feel knee pain when doing it? i really want to start doing leg workouts again but don't wanna re injury my knee
Hey Bradley. You've probably answered this alot but was there a point in time where you rapidly improved your squat and deadlift? Or has it just been small increases over the last 10 years. I ask because I've always been a volume trainer but I just turned 30 and I realized how unsatisfied i am with my leg strength.
Bradley, do whatever the fuck you want. For the 100 people complaining about your intros there will be 100 new viewers that like your long silly intros. This is your UA-cam channel and you decide what is fun or not.
Hey Bradley, it would be so nice if you did some routines where you talk in the gym, while you are doing the routine. Just like the good old days Keep it up big guy. You're such an inspsiration
Thinking of trying out the bodybeast program anybody elses thoughts or experiences on this?? And dont answer if ur just gonna say "go to gym or get a trainer" my situation is different
front squats hurt my shoulders like crazy.... still do them but Fuck. Same as stiff legged deads feel like I'm doing them wrong my lower back seems to burn up a lot more than my hams. Any recommendations?
+Bradley Martyn Em im tall as you, even a bit taller 6"4, so i was thinking about the knees. Does the knees should be in parallel with toes. I really try to keep it in line, but its nearly impossible, can you give me some advice? Or i will have better technique with the years?
Jake H Yea i can go as much deeper as possible literally to the floor. The problem is if its possible to get my knees under my toes. I have watched many of Bradley's videos and most of them i see his knees not under the toes. Maybe its not a problem, i watched some videos too( Candito for example) that this is just a myth and if you are very tall, its not necessary.
REAL question If I have school and work and shit like that and I'm soo busy and I'm only able to go to the gym hopefully 2 times a week, like what am I supposed to do if I barley go
+kneeonblack stick butt out more it doesnt look gay so plz. just stick the butt out more and bring the weights closer to your ankles when you go down. does that make sense? he had a video before explaining it and IT works for me
Bradley one question.Does Whey Protein damage up the kidneys or any other supplements? I have been working out since middle school and I am now 19.I used to consume Whey Protein and eathing specific foods for protein.I was wondering because I my self will only take Whey protein as a supplement.I dont want to mess up my kidneys or nun of dat ._., Reply when you can :D thanks
There are leg exercises?
Uh yes? What do you think they are?
+Brandon Jensen shit bro i thought you said "THESE are leg exercises" my b
+Arnold V2.0 dont worry i dont as a mater of fact today was my leg day
+AJ S oh lol
What's next, telling us that there are forearm exercises, pfft.........
Hey Bradley, thanks for the tip regarding doing leg extensions first in order to get blood into the legs. I usually start off legs with squats followed by bicep curls and lat pulls then I don't hit legs again for a month. Real talk.
that is the proper way to do leg day
Lmao
+thickheart28 thats good muscle confusion :-)
+thickheart28 < do you recommend curls in the squat rack or right in front of the leg press?
+billytheweasel on the bench press
I loved the long intros bro! I feel more connected with you when you're just goofing around for a bit! Don't change for the haters.
Wish I had the wrist flexibility to do front squats like that. I have to cross my arms.
same
Look up Omar Isuf's vids on it
If you cross your arms and put them straight out in front of you it's like the same thing
+TrickyMicky123456 I could never do the olympic hand position style until I just forced myself to do it with light weight for a while. Do it at least once a week for about a month or two and your wrists will adjust and become more flexible.

Hey Bradley can you do a video on what you do to grow your traps? Or what exercises you like to do for your traps. Thanks for all the great videos.
Bradley possibility you can make a video on accessory exercises to improve your deadlifts? rack pulls, deficits, back extentions, even ur front squats. I think itd be a sick video. Im stuck at 550 deadlift and really looking to get past my plateau
Lol at the dude in the back at 4:59. "Paint me like one of your french girls."
Ignore the 'long intro' comments. They are hilarious!

...sure I am not the only one?

OmarIsuf Fuck calves
+Nick S thanks for the advice? ... smh.
Omar always says Fuck calves, sorry haha thought it was funny
I like the long intros and outros. It makes it funny!

+Bradley Martyn OMG you are so hot !
Congrats on 300k Bro!
love your stuff man you inspire me to get better everyday keep it up big man 💯
I got 2 leg days. one for hamstrings and other for quads. I do regular back squat for hammies & front for quadzoids. it helps with mind and muscle connection.
who said the intros are too long, I love seeing you guys fucking around...
Hey Bradley love you videos man keep it up
please do strength routines focused on legs, thanks for everything by the way
I think I'm going to work in some of these exercises! Prob do preacher curl instead of quad extensions tho. And skull crushers instead of ham curls. And prob do concentrated curls instead of dumbbell dead lift. Might end up doing over head tricep extensions instead of front squats as well.

survival of the fittest...hellz yeah!! subscribed
Waiting all day for this vid :)
omg yes front squats. my background is stronglifts then a powerlifting gym. had to take a break, on my own again, and I've just started back, and beginning my front squats. its like starting all over again 😥😅😥😅😥😅
Russian deadlift from the floor, Polish deadlift from the knees aka Bradley deadlift. Love it!
Despite the MORONIC and CHILDISH intros where he babbles with the cameraman, this guy has arguably the BEST lifting advice on all of UA-cam. Even experienced lifters can always get a great couple of tips in every vid.
okeh
+Fraser MacDonald I like the intros. But that's just because I don't hate fun.
Digging the Mobb Deep 'Survival of the Fittest' beat

Yo man, I need some workouts for that lower abs/ lower back, the best ways to burn that stubborn fat areas!!! Help me out!!! Dieting, eating right only goes so far for me.
Ayyyy another banger
That "Survival of the fittest" beat is on point !
+bradley martyn any advice on hip flexer pain?? what causes it and what I can do to prevent it?
bradley any advice on how to get more flexible in the wrists to do front squats like that?
3:50 roasting dom lol.
3:40**
Bradley with your leg routines do you stretch before or after or at all? You talk about warming up but not stretching just curious if you do abd you do when abd what?
don't listen to the haterz. keep your intros long if you want Bradley
I can never get my arms in that position for front squats. I always have to fold them over the bar.
Most people do
Got to work on your mobility
rift0tripper yeah, clearly but it ain't easy.
+Bob Johnson stretch your wrists beforehand, and just use as many fingers on the bar as possible. I only use my first 2-3 fingers. (thats what she said)
Tea Why Jelly I've tried man. I can't get both arms in that position at the same time.
Yo Bradley, where'd you get your sweatpants at? They're dope af
Hey wht do you think about Kali muscle
That background music thooo bruh bruh! The infamous!
What is the difference between the "Bradley Martyn" deadlifts and RDL's?
mobb deep in the house once more!
Do some videos about your daily meals Brad
Ayo Bradley! With the walking lunges at the end of the routine, are these done with just body weight, or dumb bells? And what kind of reps?
What leg workouts to do for weak or injured knees
Depends on the actual injury, try and see a physiotherapist. Remember weak knees doesn't mean you're injured and still can't train on them.
+Tom Mcdaddy absolutely, variated squats with free weights actually helped my knees, they no longer swell from standing for hours at a time, pop, or shooting pain after running ... I'm trying to build up my calves though big time.
I always had like anterior knee pain, iv laid off of it for awhile now but the pain comes back every now and then, and i hyper extended my knee a coupld months ago and still can feel the pain. havent worked out my legs in a year like actual weight lifting. What do you guys suggest i do ?

I ask because I've always been a volume trainer but I just turned 30 and I realized how unsatisfied i am with my leg strength.
I went down to LA for a few days but I didn't have a chance to stop by Barbell Brigade. Whatup Bradley, tonight's leg day.
Great vid b/c my legs def need some work.
My fav leg exercise are curls
Bradley will you ever compete in a power lifting competition??
My arms are so sore from all them arm workouts so I'll give this a try
i am going to try it today
what's better for strength and hypertrophy? split workouts or full body workouts?
If you're natural a high frequency full body workout plan should work best
+TheQuiltedNorthern Cheers, I've been splitting my workouts into 2 muscle groups back and biceps etc but it just isn't cutting it
Bradley, do whatever the fuck you want. For the 100 people complaining about your intros there will be 100 new viewers that like your long silly intros. This is your UA-cam channel and you decide what is fun or not.
BM your awesome
Bradley Martyn vs Brad Castleberry. Make it happen.
Hey Bradley, it would be so nice if you did some routines where you talk in the gym, while you are doing the routine. Just like the good old days
Keep it up big guy. You're such an inspsiration
My girlfriend just left me.. Need some motivation for legs.. This helped 1000000% Thanks Bradley :)

Thinking of trying out the bodybeast program anybody elses thoughts or experiences on this??
And dont answer if ur just gonna say "go to gym or get a trainer" my situation is different
Brad, what happened to the background music towards the end?
I can dig it. but is the 1st 2 exercises warm ups?
No. Those are actual lifts
+Sean Fallo They're lifts with lighter weight, just to warm up your joints and muscles for squats.
oh ok
Survival of the fittest only the strong survive 🔥
where does bradley hey his nike sweatpants from?
Doesn't the leg extension put unnecessary stress on your ACLs?
longer intros all the way!
front squats hurt my shoulders like crazy.... still do them but Fuck. Same as stiff legged deads feel like I'm doing them wrong my lower back seems to burn up a lot more than my hams. Any recommendations?

Survival of the fittest playing in the background! awesome! lmao
How tall are you bro?
brasil, sou seu fã cara
+Bradley Martyn Em im tall as you, even a bit taller 6"4, so i was thinking about the knees. Does the knees should be in parallel with toes. I really try to keep it in line, but its nearly impossible, can you give me some advice? Or i will have better technique with the years?
Work on mobility and technique. You will be able to get deeper. Weightlifting shoes are an option. Remember, longer range of motion, bigger gains.
Jake H Yea i can go as much deeper as possible literally to the floor. The problem is if its possible to get my knees under my toes. I have watched many of Bradley's videos and most of them i see his knees not under the toes. Maybe its not a problem, i watched some videos too( Candito for example) that this is just a myth and if you are very tall, its not necessary.
+Guardianshadow Vbox Just listen to Candito.
What kind of shoes are tho ? It looks like it says max but what kind are they
hey can u talk about your steroid use please and thanks
Stiff leg deadlifts kill my lower back, am i going too heavy or nah?
survival of the fittest-mobb deep, one of the best songs in rap (my oppinion)
Please keep making the funny intros
REAL question
If I have school and work and shit like that and I'm soo busy and I'm only able to go to the gym hopefully 2 times a week, like what am I supposed to do if I barley go
Full body excercises
Upper body one day and lower body the other you'll make gains man. Consistency is key
rich bodybuilder is my natural favourite piana
Whenever I do Bradley Martin Deadlifts , I only feel it in my lower back. How do I activate them hammys?
+kneeonblack stick butt out more it doesnt look gay so plz. just stick the butt out more and bring the weights closer to your ankles when you go down. does that make sense? he had a video before explaining it and IT works for me
+mlbm13 cool thanks I'll give it a try
+kneeonblack just not too much or you'll throw your back
does anyone know that kind of joggers these are that he's wearing?
subtítulo es español porfavor ! saludos desde argentina
no creo que los ponga, por que no muchas personas hablantes del español ven a Bradley . le recomiendo aprender inglés
+Leonardo G. Alfaro P sera al pedo tenes razón jaja jaja lose pero persevero total es un comentario y tengo traductor pero si alguna vez lo hace buen

im defintley gonna incorporate those stiff legged deadlifts.
They are amazing for that amplified blood flow into the hamstrings.
The best personally is with the barbell.
More curls
