I'm enjoying Enkiri content for this holistic experience-based approach. When people argue about "powerbuilding", the channel's approach to fitness is the closest thing to it as it gets. I get that labels are bad, but being big and strong is the best thing to powerbuilding as it gets. No larping as a powerlifter, no bodybuilding narcissism, just being as strong as you can be as a natural. This channel does not backpill, but it persistently shows viewers a different approach to lifting. I personally respect that with all my heart.

for me the good morning is such a valuable exercise. easy to superset and challenges the core muscles to such a high degree. 3 to 4 hardsets of good morning followed by some decline situps just fires up my core

530 Squat is Crazy and Pin Squats are So Good! When I was training for basketball and dunking/vertical jump I used to do tons of Pin Squats and My Normal Back Squat Went Up as byproduct. I Snapped Up My Leg Too many times playing basketball and ended up putting legs on back burner and My Back Squat Max and Bench Max ended up almost same gg. Im def gonna re incorporate Pin Squats on top of them good mornings and deficit lunges which have been bread/butter of mine for my legs

I have a few exercises that directly carry over to squat for me. Since I have long femurs and am a pretty hip dominant squatter, I've always found immense benefit in back extensions, RDLs, hamstring curls and any sort of back work. My squat will go up as long as I train it alongside these exercises. To that end, any sort of squat variation to work on weak points pays off in dividends. Front squat, SSB squat, paused, variations and the like all helped out my regular squat. Interestingly enough, I haven't had too much carry over from direct quad work personally. 🤷 I definitely would like to grow quads as a personal goal of mine as they've always weirdly lagged behind, but building up quads doesn't really work in making my squat stronger.

Great info all over this channel! What a goldmine - this is the type of content that makes youtube the best platform - thanks man!

These exercises surprised me. I never expected to see them on a list for helping to improve my squat 😲

IMO there should be at least a 1.5 second delay on the pins before you go up. Most people will just bounce the bar off the pins and lose the desired effect.

Thanks for this video. I suck at squats

I want to maybe try again with wrist wraps for FS.

U should do this for bench press!

Before watching the video I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that most exercises are gonna be squat variations - Hatfield/Belt Squat, Front Squat, Pin Squat, Maybe a lunge. Finally, something for the glutes/back maybe? Back Extensions?

Final timestamp has a typo.

This is a good reminder to add goodmornings back in. Back extensions by themselves dont feel adequate anymore some reason and good mornings should work the stretch position more (where as back extentions light up the most at more flexed positions) The one I like that wasnt mentioned is the patrick reverse step up (or flatfooted stepdowns) for unilateral balance between legs, increased stability/balance (which works wonders for my day to day life and hiking), and to increase dorsi flexion. Most people including me have terrible dorsi flexion (one side for me is terrible the other passable). My knees feel great from doing them and when I do them consistently I can even pistol squat which I never thought id be able to do. It makes squats feel easier to me and makes better use of my quad strength rather then my hips/back taking completely over.

Leg curl, calf raises and leg extensions.

What about lowbar good mornings

Actually I can say from experience getting stronger on dumbell reverse lunges increased my back squat at a time I was only doing those two exercises

about deficit reverse lunges. do doing them deficit work quads or glutes more? i can never feel my quads getting doms after leg days, it's always glutes. no matter how upright i stay also i tried front squat but it KILLED my knees like i had to skip legs for a week. idk what can i do cause i really wanna do front squats instead for my quads

im a deficit lunge simp. having to alternate legs is kinda annoying so ill usually do 1 set each side after something bilateral. or do 1 set each side not alternated and then thr following 1 or 2 sets are alternated

Hey enkiri what are your thoughts on suit case carries?

I got into pin squats and find them to be fun.

I gotta ask, do you know what your current 1RM is for the back squat? I ask because doing 530 at 160 BW is crazy, and I am imagining it would have gone up since your BW has gone up.

I dont see hip thrust on the list?

Everything on this list...but that ACTUALLY back squat is missing?!!! Com-on #enkirielitefitness you crazy?

How tall should the box/platform/risers/etc. be for the Deficit Reverse Lunge?

What elevation would you recommend for the elevated reverse lunge do you recommend? And why did you think that Amy other kind of lunges is a waste of time?

Try standing on your Christmas tree on the tippy toes and juggle two bags of water with a crotch thrust on every 3rd rep … 2 plates was a doozy for me after this
