These have been my staples since I was coached by my exercise physiologist
1. Bulgarian split squats with dumbbells
2. Hack squats
Thanks for the tips on both exercises!

I was expecting a "Through the fire and flames" tutorial but all I got was a bunch of leg exercises.

I just Love LOVE the simplicity and cinematography of your videos. Not only are they educational but also simple to watch and listen to. No bullshit music. No over editing, just plain simple educational video which genuinely teaches you something

This the best hair that I have ever seen on dude. If I were you I would be brand ambassador for high end hair care product.

The second time I ever did the Bulgarian Split Squat Dropset of Death, I nearly bit a chunk out of my own forearm trying to distract myself from the pain. "It was leg day" is a strange way to answer the question "Why do you have human teethmarks on your arm?"

As a recent subscriber I just wanted to say, you have excellent content. Your filming, editing, and ability to relay information in an entertaining and informative way is top-notch. You deserve much more exposure, and subscribers! Cheers!

I switched from using Goblet squats to Bulgarian split squats during my home workouts and I find it much more effective in training my quads, thank you for this! Cheers! 💯💯

[djoy]

Amazing info, thanks for posting. That task failure vs muscular failure was a real gem, and your squat technique is flawless. I've experienced growth from sumo deadlifts and dumbbell lunges but I've never trashed my legs with Bulgarian split squats or hack squats. I'll definitely be trying those Bulgarians...

[williamarrowsmiith]

Brilliant and very eloquently explained! Oh, but he had to include Bulgarian Split Squats... how I love them, but they are pure FIRE on the legs.

[aniruddh]

These videos are so calming you could make them about literally anything and I would watch them srsly

[lucaarr_]

I really like your calm and details you give about exercises and their purposes. Well done!! 👍🏻

[AidanArentz]

It's great to mix it up with regular barbell squats and other assisted squats, like the hack squat machine. One issue I've had personally, is using machines too much, then ending up with a strength imbalance between by legs and core/back. I got to a point where my back and core would tire much faster than my legs, which began to mess up my barbell squat technique. By the 3rd set I would start to slouch, but my legs would still be O.K.

[clevelandaglennable]

This really makes sense. Thanks for showing us the difference and how there is less stress on our spines. First time viewing your videos and I have now subscribed.

[easytee]

That was the smoothest, calmest explanation I've ever witness in my life! Now I wanna destroy my legs! 🤣

[icejumperke]

I always do smith squats with the feet further away and close together to really hit that vastus lateralis. Love it.

[jakeportolese]

Yessss hack squat!!! The first time I tried this from your plan I never knew what it was lol. I then found it in my gym and BOY WAS IT A KILLER! Thanks again Eugene for the video !

[DaxTaylor.]
