These 5 categories are areas I try to keep up in my body throughout the year. It doesn't mean you NEED to train all of them at the same time.... Going through phases with each style or two seems to be the way to really develop your Legs over time. What category of Minimalist Leg training most excited you?

If you have not sprinted in years do not, I REPEAT DO NOT just go outside and start trying to run sprints. Start off with a few weeks of jogging stretching and light dynamic warms so you do not tear something.

63. Gym rat with bias toward power. But losing capacity due to bad movement patterns. Finally started unilateral work and exposed my imbalances. Started doing more work like you suggest, particularly the unilateral work, and am moving much better. More or less gave up the power rack in favor of a few kettlebells and lots and lots of multi plane and cross plane work. Happy.

I'm 39. Got a meniscus tear on both knees. I got the injury quite early when I wasn't consistently active. When I started being consistently active it became painful. My left knee is ok, but my right knee is very sensitive to range of motion - going too deep is very painful. I can do pistol squats on my left, but only up to 90 degrees on my right. When the injury got aggravated, I've started slowly from not being able to do even poliquin step ups and got to where I'm at, but the range of motion stopped improving. I had to remove ATG split squats from my routine because it was irritating my meniscus to the point I couldn't walk without pain the next day. Some of the movements in this video are pretty advanced and quite dangerous. I'm just warning that people should ease in into activities like these very slowly or risk getting or aggravating their injury and never get back to having their full range of motion. I keep my hopes up that I will get better over time, but it's been a very long journey so far ...

Been loving this channel since the beginning of covid, thanks for keeping the good vibes up

[freddy-yfdn]

i've been going back to a more minimalistic, functional approach to training and your videos have been really helpful for that, thank you!

[gdubbg]

Holy Shit! There is two of you? I thought this was one dude this whole time. I was blown away when I saw you two sprinting next to each other. LOL. Great content. Love the channel!

[lesliemctavish]

I love this. I'm inspired and I now have the answers I was seeking.

To answer your question, I'm not working on any leg routine, yet your segment on balancing feels right for me. Like it's the healing direction I want.
I was fit until I was 55 and at 58, I know my body is changing. I would really like to do things right, so I will begin with your videos.

I’ve included in my leg day: pistol squats, shrimp squats, Nordic curls, box jumps, on top of regular barbell squats and some machine work. Love the variety and being table to work with my bodyweight only when required.

[niklaskummer]

I mix explosive/power training (kicking, jumping) with some strenght and mobility (sissy, cossack, split squat, horse stance..) . Now I realize it will be nice to add other modalities such as sprinting, flexibility and balance 😊 thx for your content, as always . Cheers

[ianjapal]

I’m predominantly a runner and cyclist, and these leg movement routines are amazing way to build strength, increase speed and prevent injury. Thank you!

I love bodyweight leg training. I bought limitless legs during the pandemic and was hooked, now, even with gyms open when my legs start feeling beat up from weight I’ll train bodyweight legs for a month or two. Highly underrated

[nestorgarcia]

I love this. I've been lifting heavy, and have had reoccurring knee or back injuries, and have approached different types of training that have made me feel better. Running, hiking sprinting, but when I go back to squat, there's always some pain. I think athletic/ hybrid training is where it's at because, I still prioritize performance over mass, and oddly enough think there's better aesthetics over just bodybuilding and weightlifting.

I've been a loyal devotee of Strength Side since day ONE. I just never comment-- not all heroes wear capes... but they might have man buns and scraggly beards! Thank you, Kings!
