[Music] [Music] for [Music] for [Music] way [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Laughter] [Applause] [Music] all [Music] another leg day last last week I couldn’t have I didn’t have like a good connection with my right hamstring my right but figured out what it was at least I think I figured it out and uh I haven’t really been doing too many glue dominated movements during my leg days and I warmed up today with a little hyper and uh or [ __ ] abduction I think it is I think that’s what it is but got some good glute activation and uh I felt my hamstring twitching the entire time so I knew he was waking something up but something you know last resort not my favorite movement in the world but really gets the job done if you need to feel something you can either hop on the Nordic hamst cro here or you can even get on a bench and uh throw a dumbbell between your feet and do hamstring curls like that you just really focus on contraction you feel everything but this really got it going so with the combination between nice little glue pump and just a good uh good hamstring curl is back to what it was so great way to start off the leg day moving over to leg St and I really I want to do something heavy today whether that’s a hack squat regular squat I don’t even know but everything’s feeling pretty good not going to lie and uh early morning well not early morning earlier lift usually come in here around 5 6 and uh just about midday 12:00 right now so two meals of me little bit of free and uh it’s a great way to start the day huge tip when you’re doing the nordics though you really want to push your hips forward and uh almost contract your glutes as you’re going down and also when you’re going down you want to be breathing in and uh when you hit the bottom you’re ready to explode back up keep your hips forward and then uh just blow everything out and and just fire back up and uh it’s a different machine the more you put the more weight you put on here the easier it gets so it’s reverse but it’s really [Music] good [Music] broken [Music] a [Music] [Music] PA are nice and pumped right now I changed it up a little bit and something I usually focus on I even did a little bit here was those partials at the end of the movement but there’s big big ass dude in here and I saw him being leg extension where he was kind of pausing at the top of the movement um you know where he would go full contraction leg straight out and just hold it for a second and uh I just tried it I didn’t do it for every set but I threw a few few reps in there on each one and that got me they’re feeling it right now um probably even I feel that more than the partials to be honest so a good combination both of those things I get you right but if you see somebody in the jail and they got to be big as [ __ ] but if it looks like that movement is working for them you want to give it a try just give it a try cuz fell in love with that really like doing leg extensions like that and uh was are primed for nice little leg press action after this [Music] so [Applause] [Applause] yeah [Applause] [Music] [Applause] a okay y [ __ ] a That’s All She Wrote there wow I think for that I want to do one more set but I definitely got to Dro the weight on that feel like the connection isn’t what I necessarily want so it felt really good but I just want to feel a little more get a little more pump into my outer quad so I’m going to drop the weight and then just do a bunch of reps probably I want to get 20 plus with that and then that’ll cap the the lift but a lot of this a lot of this [ __ ] leg day chest day whatever day of the week you’re training just a lot of the same [ __ ] over and over again and sometimes you get a little bored doing it so got spice it up a little bit and you know the heavier you go the less reps you got to do just makes it a little bit easier even though even though you’re going heavier um so when you go lighter that’s a real challenge [Applause] [Applause] okay [Applause] right [Applause] sh oh [ __ ] you got to get to the back trust that [ __ ] not going to move okay [ __ ] all right so that’s another movement where you kind of just want to go heavy cuz if you start going lighter on that and you do a bunch of refs it’s just going to be absolute torture and it’s going to [ __ ] suck so the heav you go even though it’s going to be harder it’s going to be easier in a sense at least you know less cardio intensive because that really gets you when you start doing upwards of 12 15 reps if you can hit it at like a cap somewhere between 8 to 10 that’s probably like the sweet spot you don’t really want to go more than that on uh on that movement and that’s not really something I do too often but I tried it about two leg days ago two three leg days ago and the activation of my car just felt crazy and you know my hamstrings are feeling good today quad activation is lacking for some reason I don’t know the past few leg days has just been like a little bit off and I don’t know there’s something going on but you know not complaining about it try to try to mitigate that with the true Squat and you know I got exactly what I wanted out of that my quads are pumped like crazy I’m feeling everything and it’s just that’s a [ __ ] hbling machine like you try to throw a bunch of weight on that and it’s just not going to go anywhere um it feels really good though so if you haven’t tried that really recommend or you can even do something similar with a Smith machine at least a straight up and down Smith machine and a like a foot wedge you put the foot wedge under your feet um like directly under your feet or like slightly out in front you can get like a similar movement to it it’s not going to have a back support so you’re going to have to be conscious of that but you know overall the mechanics are like pretty much there um at least similar so yeah I just love that PA your pump like crazy I think that’s all I got really you know I have a bit of a a head pump drawing from today’s like day and I don’t know I kind of like it to be honest bro just like [ __ ] life is lifing you know so it’s a good [ __ ] workout it’s a good workout when you can just you know de-stress and [ __ ] leave your mind for a second so it’s always a good [Music] one [Music] all all right so that was the leg day it’s absolutely beautiful outside so came outside for a little bit still sweating um but overall not a bad day I’m still getting worked on on my hamstring and like the side of my quad it’s still like a little ifm feeling it throughout certain leg movements and I’m not getting the best my muscle connection but it is what it is you got to work through it got to grow the legs nobody’s going to grow for you but I do want to go through my leg day macros compared to my other training days and my uh my rest days and you know on my leg days which I’m doing two times a week and I’m also doing two rest days um on the leg days my first meal has 53 g of protein 73 carbs 12 fats second meal is 49 protein 88 carbs which is my preal and 11 fat there post-workout going low on the fat it’s just really good to go lower on the fat after your workout the main thing you want to have is like a good carb source and I didn’t know this but pineapple is really beneficial to have pineapple post-workout not just like any fruit but pineapple in specific I don’t know the science behind it but apparently it’s really good and that is 57 g of protein 80 carbs four fat fat the meal after that 62 g of protein 38 carbs 17 fat meal five is 55 g of protein 38 carbs 12 fat and then meal six is 53 g of protein 38 carbs and 17 fat and my main protein Source right now is primarily chicken um I’ve been tossing a little bit of ground turkey a little bit of beef but the main go-to protein is just chicken and after a while you do get super super sick of it so you just got to do like different styles you know like I’ll cook it different I pretty much put it in air fryer every single time but I do have a uh wide array of spices that I’ll just throw on there smoked paprika garlic onion powder do like little Italian style sometimes throw a little tomato sauce on it little extra sodium but never hurt anybody and uh that’s how you keep it interesting and something I also do is I get a little active with protein shakes sometimes too so I’ll make some like really good Shake I love almond butter put almond butter in there some good protein the birthday cake from raw goes with everything some oats some blueberries and it’s just like a really good time with that and then one of my other go-tos it’s just super easy to get down you know it’s a great source high in sodium but if you’re drinking enough water it doesn’t really matter how much sodium you’re you’re intaking obviously you want to keep it on the lower side but if your water intake matches the amount of sodium you’re putting in your body you kind of just flush out but smoked salmon is super easy to get down and on like not every single day I’ll have it uh probably like once or twice a week I’ll just get a few packs and then that’ll be my breakfast so I’ll put that with like a bagel egg smoked salmon on top and it is just so good you don’t have to over complicate meal prep or just putting meals together cuz you can if you’re following meal plan and you know you have to eat chicken rice potatoes and that’s it it’s super boring but if you do have a little bit of flexibility especially with uh vegetables fruits those do give you really good M micronutrients and they allow you to uh just get like different flavors in each meal because even my vegetables the main thing I’m eating is kimchi but I switched over to sauerkraut for a little bit because I did get a little bit uh tired of kimchi and it has really good benefits from it you know it’s a it’s a probiotic it helps your gut a lot it tastes really good you can do whatever you want with it and you know it pretty much mixes with everything goes really well with protein and then uh we got spinach asparagus and then for the fruits a banana pineapple blueberries just all extremely versatile fruits that you can pretty much just put in a smoothie have by themselves even at night you can get like a little little Cool Whip some blueberries and it’s just really good I’m not too sure where I was going with that but you know fruits and vegetables they do give you good micronutrients and they taste really well um but overall you know oh that’s where we were going so I have a higher calorie intake on my leg days just because uh I’m using a lot more energy during or I need more energy during a leg day compared to like an arm day or something like that or even a rest day I’m not doing as much so I don’t need as much fuel for my body because pretty much calories are input and output if I’m going stupid on a hack squat compared to sitting on the couch obviously I’m going to need more energy to do the hack squat but uh overall like I was saying that’s a good leg day and I’m excited to get this next meal I usually do a it’s a pineapple chicken and rice meal super basic but you know it gets the job done so I never uh never hate that but it’s getting hot out just had uh daylight savings here in Florida um [ __ ] that was stupid it’s everywhere in the United States but uh not this hot everywhere else so I’m starting to sweat I think it’s almost a good 80 something degrees today my back’s frying up and I do want to turn around and get a little bit of sun on my face so you know if you guys are having a bad day just remember it’s just a bad day not a bad life and uh just do one thing that makes tomorrow better than yesterday um and there’s a whole bunch of commotion behind me and I think there’s two dogs going at it but I don’t even know what I was saying but thank you for watching thank you for tuning in and I will catch you guys in the next video
