Routine Stiff Leg Deadlift - 3 x 10 - 20 (slow reps) Front Squat - 3 x 10 - 20 Myo x2. Elevate the heels, wait 1 sec at the bottom, only go up 2/3. Split Squat - 2 x 10 - 20 per leg (rest 30 sec between leg swap) Elevate front foot, lightly graze the floor with back knee. 1 minute rest between sets. Everything done with dumbbells

As a trainer myself, I’m always looking for new variations to mix things up. I tried this one today right before eating thanksgiving dinner. Let me tell you, all the crap other people say about this not being effective haven’t tried this. I focused on form and really milked out the eccentric phase of each movement and my quads and hamstrings had a nasty pump and we’re toast by the end Shoutout to Dr.Mike!

@hempwick8203 10 ай бұрын

whoa whoa whoa! This is extremely useful and valuable to me. This was a change of pace for the RP channel and I think one that most people watching can relate to. I'll bet a huge portion of viewers of the fitness industry work out mostly at home. I simply have had a great time with a few different weights, bands, trees, logs, rocks, mountains, and public land.

Holy crap - I've been doing a dumbbell-only routine for a few weeks now that basically had this same routine for legs day. Slowing things down and following your instructions for the squats and the SLDs made it WAY more challenging, I didn't even make it to the split squats as I could no longer do any leg exercises with good form after set 3 of SDLs. Big thanks for this video!

I used to work out at home with a set of adjustable dumbbells and a multi-use bench. After a few months, I decided to join the gym for heavier weights, but I wasn't aware of the RP channel back then. I love these videos, and even though I plan to continue going to the gym, they serve as a great alternative or for days when I prefer working out at home. The videos are fantastic, and I'd love to see more. They've been especially helpful as I create my own home gym. Additionally, the variety keeps things interesting. While it's possible to follow for free, I can vouch for the app's effectiveness in tracking progress and keeping things organized, allowing me to focus on form and overall quality. Keep up the excellent work!

@TSoneonetwo 10 ай бұрын

same here, I use kettle bells. I also use a weighted vest (that can go up to 80lb), for calf raises, squats, and split squats. I have a couple of boards I use to for calf raises, and heel elevation. a little bit of ingenuity and I can do hamstring curls, leg extensions with bands, and ankle cuffs, also.

@HeadCannonPrime 10 ай бұрын

This is GREAT! almost exactly what I do in my home gym with only dumbells. I also use Cobra Grips because my dumbells go up to 80lbs and my grip is often the limiting factor is SLDL over 15 reps. For the SLDL the form I have heard that helped me the most is "Imagine your feet are glued to the floor and you are pushing your dresser drawer closed with your butt" Its ridiculous and it makes me remember the movement every single time. I also work out in front of a dresser, so there is that. Doing the high carry squat is fine, but you can also stack a lot more weight on if you use a suitcase hold. Personally I don't think an 80 lb squat to be neurologically taxing enough. With a maxed out suitcase or farmers grip you can drive quad muscle growth but also scapular retraction under tension, core stabilization and whole body neurological stress. That is a 5 in 1 banger exercise! edit: I'm not trying to workout shame anyone but I'm actually confused at how big that guy is with such low weights/reps. I don't know if he was playing it up for the camera or what. Last split squats I did with 50s in each hand plus a 40lb weight vest, 3 sets, 8-10 reps and I'm only an intermediate lifter.

@snowys4168 10 ай бұрын

Probably fatigued from the rest of the workout, we see in lots of other videos how much Dr. Mike's slow eccentric and pausing at the bottom toasts people who are otherwise jacked. Slow reps and big stretch and especially the front squats with extreme time under tension probably go crazy. Or he's acting for the camera, but that seems inconsistent with how Dr. Mike treats the rest of his channel. Or he and the Dr. stayed up too late last night partying and driving around their lambos, which might be the most probable.

@foggybottomz 4 ай бұрын

I was wondering too about the weight of his dumbbells. I’m a petite female (5’ 110#) who is basically in the beginner phase because I’ve been inconsistent. I did dumbbell RDL’s yesterday with 45# in each hand without straps. I’m actually glad to see that he’s not showing off with extremely heavy weights but it’s making me think I must be doing something wrong and potentially dangerous. After my sets I didn’t feel like taxed enough but my fingers were tired (not necessarily my grip).
