Two things you should never skip! Leg Day and Mind Pump!!! Let’s go, baby! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I loved hearing y’all talk about how strong quads can help your knee. When I was playing college football, I tore my meniscus, and needed surgery. My team doctor told me to “pre-hab” the area around my knee so the recovery time was shorter, so I would do a little bit of stationary bike and some quad exercises most days. After doing that for the better part of a month, when it came time for my surgery, the surgeon freaked out and said my knee had healed on its own. Ever since prioritizing strengthening around my knees, I haven’t had knee pain.

You guys have been motivating me for a few years now. I’m stronger, have more energy, flexibility, less stressed, tons of motivation, and gained a lot of insight and direction from listening to the your show. I’ve told friends and coworkers about this channel many times and some have subscribed. Thanks Mind Pump!

The masterclass continues, do not skip leg day, Let’s go!!

You guys are the GOATs of educating fitness. Before I started watching this show I would never squats or deadlifts. I was only using machines for lower body. Now I understand the importance of these compounds movements and I’m happily seeing the gains. Currently halfway through Maps Anabolic.

These master classes are always the best! I consider myself lucky to have played ice hockey and having a great strength coach at my high school to help build up my legs. They’ve always been my strength. That being said, leg expertises are HARD! Thanks for keeping me engaged and reminding us of the importance.

I skipped leg day for years the past two or three years I have been very consistent and now I see why it was such a bad idea to skip leg day in the past. I used to hate leg day now. I look forward to it because I know how much good and benefit I’m giving to my body.

I love you guys. I've got 3 awesome personal trainers helping me get my body and health back in shape at 52.Did you guess its you guys. I'm a mom of 8 and was told a couple of years ago that I was diabetic. I went on a healthy eating regime and then started walking 10,000 steps or more a day. I've lost 45lbs since January and I'm building my muscles up as well. You guys are my at home heroes. Thank you for all your health information, help and support. I listen to your podcasts on my walks it makes it a breeze.

You guys are definitely correct in saying bad legs are a turn off. I say you should have big, strong legs to be able to carry all that upper body 😂

What makes mindpump different from all the rest of those bro channels with 50 different bicep videos is that they bring science in all they do! if this don’t get you to train legs idk what will 🤷‍♂️

Right now my wife is challenging me to develop my calves so I’ve added in weighted raises, but nothing beats the full body activation from a barbell squat. Love it.

A Mind Pump (episode) a day keeps the doctor away!!💯🏋🏋‍♂🏋‍♀🔥

LOVE THESE CLASSES!!! Thank you mindpump

Love the masterclass series. Keep up the great work!

The 3 of you are so well spoken. I enjoy the selection of exercises w/ an explanation as to why these & not those yet still not discrediting any. I love the show!

Between mobility and using more compounds movements opposed to accessory movements that has been a complete game changer .

43 here. Legs twice a week!!

LOVE the masterclass series!! But I have an idea for you guys! How about a MENTAL masterclass episode or series? I love when you guys just talk life sometimes... Even more than fitness!

I swear it's like you all read my mind, I've been wanting this. Divine timing.

My quads have always been extremely easy for me to grow but my hamstrings not so much. Had a baby so spotted working out for a couple months. Started up again and it’s like I’m feeling my muscles for the first time. It really is crazy in you stop focusing on weight and focus more on the skill. I’ve seen a tremendous difference. Never thought it was that big a of a deal before listening to you show.

I’m obsessed with your programs. Seeing the best results from my training while following Anabolic

Thank you guys for the education and information. It goes a long way. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with a heart disease that affects my life daily. I have been training for 3 years now and you all have been a great resource for me. Thank you for being you! 💪🏾

I have always had larger legs and despised my genetics until I found you guys… Now, I know how to leverage the muscle for metabolism and strength for longevity!!! Love, light, & lift!!! 🙏🏻💪🏼

Doing good mornings as you’re chatting about them. First day of MAPS Strong 👏🏼👏🏼

Quads: Squats, lunges, Bulgarian split stand squats. Isolation: leg extension, sissy squat. Honorable mentions: hax squats, leg press, sledge drive

I always did more of a body building style workout but I am so happy I never skipped squats or deadlifts

Thank you all

Absolutely used to hate leg day and squatting but have learned to love it and realize it really does add to your overall physique and strength. Love you guys and your knowledge 🦵

Right on time. Trying to develop my legs after years of neglect due to knee pain.

Just what I needed to hear after finishing legs day for this last week yesterday. Time to learn so I can up my leg day game this week.

Love you guys! Just recently started watching and can’t get enough. I have always trained legs and by far the strongest part of my body but I have learned since watching that I’ve been focusing too much on quantity and not quality..starting to see some great results 💪 And totally agree about the correlation to back pain. I had scoliosis surgery when I was 12 leaving me with lifetime hardware in my back. Strong legs and proper body mechanics allow me to deal with less pain😊

The masterclass episodes are great! And for legs I also love the potential to gain mass as a metabolism booster. Feels easier to cut with thicker legs

This masterclass came at a perfect time. I injured myself in March of this year and had to lay off squating. I’m about 90% better now and 💯motivated to get back underneath the bar. I like the idea of 20-25 reps per set knowing that’ll keep my weights lower. Thanks!

Been watching you guys for about 6 months now. Loving the programs. Just started maps anabolic this week. Hard not to go to the gym and workout but i can no doubt feel day one's workout. 2 of 3 trigger sessions down today. Can't wait to see my progression! Love this channel!

Thank you for making a master class for legs!! I've started focusing on building my strength up in my upper legs again and this will help me so much! (I was a leg day skipper)

I love all these masterclass episodes! Just want to say to the bros, don’t skip leg day!! I’ve consistently hit fully body and when I get a compliments from the ladies, it’s always about my developed glutes😉

This was perfect timing! I was looking for some new hamstring exercises to replace a few in my routine and this was so helpful

Semiglutide with Dr Seems and now LEGS!! love your podcast!! Such knowledge and fun!!

Really focused on the technique aspect of my squat while listening to this. Not saying I don't focus on it normally but I was extra inspired with this on. These dudes are awesome!

Wow mind pump has shown me everything I’ve been wanting to know about bodybuilding. Thank you guys sincerely 🙏🏻

I have gone straight unilateral this year when it comes to legs and my legs have absolutely blown up. Great response out of my legs

This is the episode for me , i struggle so much with my legs sven though i work legs more than anything. Plus i've noticed a correlation with the nicer my legs get the shorter my shorts become lol

Would love a mobility master class or stretching masterclass, amazing information as always 🔥

Just here to support the masterclass series!! Keep ‘em coming yall! 💪🏻 I literally made a playlist of only MP masterclass podcasts because I refer back to them so much. You fit so much solid information into a short period of time (the visuals are super helpful too- especially when describing non traditional movements!) ❤

Been looking forward to a breakdown in leg workouts! Masterclass are solid episodes!

I just was thinking on how to improve my training program to grow my legs! Thanks 🙏

I'm running MAPS symmetry right now, and I'd love to receive MAPS Performance for my next cycle afterwards please 😀🙏🏼 it'll go great with my pick up basketball aspirations as I balance family/work/fitness

What can I say, another Masterclass from Mindpump. As always Informative, entertaining, and the best podcast out there when it comes to fitness and conspiracies 😅😅😅😅

I was looking at maps performance the other day! It is something I am focusing on with my main exercises. Really wanna get this program!

I’ve been running anabolic on and off for over a year now and it is the best workouts i’ve ever done. would love to try out performance

Absolutely love the channel and videos on leg day!!

Never want to skip leg day, i often hate it but the importance always wins

I have back pain as long as I can remember ! and docs always tells me there is no problem, so I'm glad I watched this episode. I'm going to restart training my legs and trust the process, thank you guys 😎🙂

Loving the Masterclass Series! I love leg day!🔥

Awesome video, I’ve grown my quads and hamstrings a lot thanks to you guys! No more skinny legs

I’m doing Maps Aesthetic and just learned the snatch grip squat, it’s awesome! I felt it in glutes hamstrings and back!! Thank you guys

Like always top content in media. Lot of common sense and truth. Thank you guys 🙇🏽‍♂️

I struggle so much growing legs, so this masterclass is just what I needed!

Great show! Love the youtube videos for beginners and your askmindpump AI is fantastic!

Awesome episode! Always stayed away from good mornings coz i thought that it was literally gonna mess me up. Time to slowly incorporate it and make all kinds of gains!

Awesome content! I love leg day. I started doing heavy lifting and increased protein and I can see my legs getting strong😅

Nice. I just recently started focus on legs.

Just found your podcast totally binging great information - keep it up Definitely a slow day at the office go better!

I never used to train legs much because my legs are much stronger and bigger relative to my upper body. Since I started again, they have grown quite a bit and gotten stronger.

Thanks for the content guys, it's really allowing me to improve my workouts. I'm going to incorporate sissy squats and the low range suggestion into my workout today.

Masterclass are masterclass good job mind pump guys ❤❤❤

Leg days are the best days! Thanks for another great episode =)

Great show on leg day. I almost do 5 times a day.

Great episode, just what I needed!! 😊

Loved this one. This is a great series! Have to admit I am surprised a back hyperextension didn’t make it for hamstrings…honorable mention,

Best episode ever!!! Thank you always!

I love these master classes. I love legs much more than arms so don't skip arm day for me 😅

Excited for this one!

Love straight leg deadies for the hammies.

Sissy squats and Nordic curls are absolutely real, more people should include them.

Good to see Adam rockin' the no-hat.

Thanks for the conviction, ima start doing more leg days rather than once a week 😬 thankfully my legs are super strong but they don’t quite look like it… Update! Ima have to re watch this again it’s a lot to unpack

Funny Justin always th4 functional guy lol great master class

After two rounds of Maps Anabolic, I naturally feel like I can sprint faster and jump higher just from building my leg muscles and calves

Leg day is the only day i do when doing strength work .

Leg and back day are essential for everyday life. From a hypertrophic standpoint it will also exponentiate push day.

Leg day!! 🦵🏻I’ve always had great quads but trying to get some more definition and beef up those hammies! I have some kind muscle problems connecting to those to really feel the squeeze so hoping and probably will get some good tips for today.

Good episode as usual. How about doing an episode on calves? They seem to be a very stubborn muscle group for many people.

This is just what I needed as my squat has been 215 for the past 5 months now and can’t get past that.

Because of your episode , this monday I”ll do legs instead of chest

Great show! Sooo important!

Awesome tips

Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🇺🇾🇺🇾

Leg workouts destroy me but I NEVER skip them!

My main sport is rock climbing, I added weight training this winter leg focused. Since rock climbing is leg focused. You push yourself up the mountain not pull yourself up the mountain.

You guys spoke about the important of hamstrings and the best exercises. What are your thoughts on Nordics for hamstrings strength and growth?

My suggestions for sets and reps schemes is pretty simple. It requires three actions: 1. Record sets and reps. 2. Initially, do 3 sets for as many reps for each set. 3. Then add either weight or one more set for the next subsequent work out. Either add sets and keep the reps the same or go up in weight and keep the sets but redo the rep ranges. Once steps 2 and 3 have been maxed out to the point where you are doing only singles and cannot progress further, go back to where you were unable to maintain reps consistently throughout the sets. Match them and continue to increase weight again. This simplifies the task so that there is no set rep ranges, but progressively overload with sets and matching/ beating rep schemes from previous weight. This will add overall strength with reps. So when it is time to max out, you will most likely hit above the last single you did for reps. Now, please keep in mind the nutrition, sleep, water intake, and fatigue from your CNS. Therefore, do this with compounds and use the secondary, tertiary, and accessories as extra volume if needed for lagging body parts.

Thank you so much, i love your Masterclass episodes, will this be the last one? Maybe a nutrition Masterclass?

Great info! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I've lost so much fat in this weight loss journey especially around the thighs. At some point, I'll gain inches instead of losing them. Lol.

I love training legs. What I don't like is "leg day." Haha

Can you guys please speak to the efficacy of lower body cable machine work outs. I'm recovering from a foot injury and came across some info that the cable machine lower body exercises are better because they put less load on the foot but still provide good lower body work

Hope to win this time

I'm old, hips are arthritic but I still do bodyweight squats and horse stance. Better than nothing I guess.

Once you find out what 1 leg day can do it’s hard not to keep adding more days!
