We're heading into legs now.

So to start off today's leg day and to start off the week, I've been now starting my training week on Sunday.

So rather than training forever, my whole, pretty much for as long as I can remember, I've always trained Monday through Saturday and they take it Sunday as a rest day.

Now I'm like, why don't we train Sunday through Friday and take Saturday as a rest day?

Because Sundays don't have anything going on anyways.

I might as well work out.

Whereas if I ever have anything going on, it's on Saturday.

So anyways, we're doing that now.

We're starting the week on a Sunday.

Really nothing revolutionary area

or groundbreaking it's just to me it's kind of different it's kind of nice

because usually mondays you know you get the monday i was

gonna say the monday skiers i guess those are a thing you get stressed out about the week

and usually have to do legs on a monday

and i usually have a bunch of work it's usually my

busiest day it's kind of nice to start on a sunday

when i don't have you know much else going on

so we can blast legs and just have a good sunday

so it's about two o'clock we're getting the leg day started

we're gonna start off with how we've been starting each leg day with a jump variation

so i've been starting this one off with a seated vertical jump

so i just it's got a bench

or like a little box set up where it's at like kind of hip height

and i'm just gonna stomp the ground

and try to jump as high as possible holding my hands i got the ovr jump sensors

that i use to measure my height

so last week i hit 29.9 was my highest jump

so the goal is to break 30 today um they're pretty cool

so i just did five warm-up jumps

so i just kind of progressively built it up now i'm

gonna go at least 15 max effort where you know i'll

do a rep take about a 10 15 second rest do another rep

and i'll do 15 of those usually takes me about five to seven minutes i might do more

if i feel good

but starting your lift with a jump especially in your leg days man great way to warm up

and obviously get your power work in and

when i go in these squats after i'm gonna feel primed

and ready to go

because today we got a very ambitious weight we want to work up to for a heavy set of four

but let's get these jumps in

27 7 all right good one to start off on oh we're hitting 30 today i'm calling it we're hitting 30

There we go 30.2 30.2 let's go

Alright guys so hit 20 reps of jumps today

I actually I hit 30.3 is my highest jump today I hit three reps over 30

uh which I'm stoked with cool to be hitting that from a seated position so

um one of the events for the apex is a approach vertical jump

so obviously you get to build up into it which I'm doing

that I didn't do them last week

but I'm gonna start doing them on my max velocity day

so on Tuesday I'm gonna do those after I sprint and really work on my approach because

obviously there's a skill behind like the approach like one two bang bang stepping into it so um

but i also want to do vertical jumps you know touch

it a couple of times throughout the week to just kind of work on

that producing power and i love seated jumps going from

that bang see a position it's so fun to do

so highly recommend

if you're adding one add jumps to your routine a seated

jump you can do it where you have a box

and you jump onto a box as a way to kind of absorb the landing

so you can kind of accumulate your body to that

but kind of once you get used to it do them in place

and obviously I have the OVR sensors which are sick

because I can get instant feedback and see how high I jump and it motivates me.

I'm like 29.8 I want to hit 30.

Bang and then we hit 30.

So it's a fun thing to have

but jumping obviously you know how much I love jumping

and I've done my whole life

so having a routine definitely a great way to build power

which can help with your strength work and warm you up and it's just freaking sick to jump.

It's freaking sick to jump high.

So now we're in the squats.

The goal today, we hit 535 for four last week.

Man, I almost couldn't hold up number four.

Four, that's four, right?

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro.

Bet you know I was bilingual.

Quick story, my mom's a Spanish teacher, and I don't know any Spanish.

So did I fail her as a son?

I don't know.

But I do know how to count to 30 in Spanish, though.

So maybe I can say I'm bilingual. Who knows?

But anyways, we got four reps today on squat.

545s are cool.

545 that's 545 and a 25 each side

that used to be a wonder at max i've hit it

i've hit 550 for three i hit this for three about three weeks ago

and it felt really good it felt really good

so i'm like i think i can hit for four day

and what i'm doing for my squat progression this is week

two of this block leading into the apex miami i'm doing a top set of four

and then three by six back off i'm actually doing this with my squat bitch

and the lift and this is week two of it

so i'm trying to I had 5 to 10 pounds from last week.

But I'm like, I was going to have 5 pounds, but I'm like, 540?

Why not just do 545?

Let's throw a 25 on that sucker.

And so that's the goal today.

We're trying to get up to 545, and then I'm going to try to do my back-offs at 505 because I did 500 last week.

100

So, feeling pretty good.

101

I did did lift two days ago.

102

My low back's a tiny, tiny bit sore.

103

But you know what?

104

That's all mine said.

105

My quads feel good.

106

I feel ready to hammer some weight.

107

So let's hammer some damn weight.

108

So guys, one of my favorite things when I squat is to...

109

I love this gym because it's a great gym anyways, but the squat rack's in the corner.

110

So like, you got all the space over there.

111

I don't know if you can see, it's probably a little blurry, but I'm in the corner of the gym right now.

112

Sitting down, dark spot.

113

So in between sets, I just stare at the ground and get juiced up.

114

Get juiced up.

115

I love that for squats.

116

I don't know about you guys, but there's nothing better.

117

Like, look, you know, I'm not trying to be like, oh, I'm going to war, baby.

118

I'm going to war.

119

I'm lifting weights.

120

But it's kind of fun to put yourself in that mindset because what else do you get to do it?

121

Like, you know, people make fun of people who get passionate about something and excited.

122

It's fun, fellas.

123

Passionate your life.

124

Passion max your life.

125

You got to do a heavy set of squats or deads.

126

Who cares how much weight's on there?

127

If it's heavy for you, get smashed up, get psyched up, get the tunes going.

128

That's what makes lifting fun, man.

129

Like, at the end of the day, we all kind of work for ourselves.

130

So corner max, get in the corner, get a little box, and then lift your squat.

131

So we're warming up.

132

We got four wheels on.

133

we'll go one plate two plate three plate four plate five

134

plate you know probably just try to get at it

135

because i try to not over warm up

136

because a lot of it's like saving my arousal for

137

that top set because you know if i do too heavy of a warm-up set

138

and i gotta use some of my arousal messes me up

139

so i try to keep i try to keep it just as feel

140

that sets top set today 545 five five wheels

141

and a quarter um shooting for four shooting for four give me a tough set let's That's a good trip.

142

Oh.

143

Not even stuff.

144

Oh.

145

Oh.

146

Oh.

147

Come on.

148

Oh.

149

Oh.

150

Come on.

151

Come on.

152

Push.

153

Push.

154

Push.

155

Push.

156

Oh.

157

Oh.

158

Oh.

159

Oh.

160

Oh, baby.

161

Let's freaking go.

162

Ooh.

163

All right.

164

Fired up.

165

Full PR right there.

166

Let's go.

167

Oh, baby.

168

I'm going to be honest.

169

My low back is still pretty cooked from deadlifting.

170

And as I was doing the warm-up sets, it started getting more, like, not tight, but, like, I could feel the soreness more and more.

171

It always kind of getting, like, in my head before that set.

172

But I was like, you know, just rip it.

173

Worst case, you fail.

174

At least you try.

175

So I did that first rep and I was like, oh, I'm getting four.

176

I'm getting four. So four.

177

I've never hit that four before.

178

So I hit it for three.

179

So that's pretty sick.

180

545 for four.

181

It's this mode.

182

So I haven't tested my one-minute max.

183

Technically, the heaviest I've ever squatted is 550 for three.

184

I've never done a heavier single or double.

185

So, I mean, I'm pretty sure like 545 for four, I put in a calculator,

186

gives you an estimated max of like 605 um i need to try 585

187

because i've never hit six wheels my goal is to hit 600

188

but you got to hit 585 before you get 600 um

189

so i might have to do that

190

but what i'm kind of doing you know i do random wonder at maxes

191

when i feel good i never really peak for one max

192

i like doing them on days i feel really good

193

but kind of what i'm doing this block is these eight weeks is weeks one and two

194

which this is week two i'm doing a heavy top set of four three by six back off weeks three

195

and four heavy tops at a three three by five back up weeks five

196

and six heavy top set of two three by four back offs

197

and then week seven eight heavy single three by three back off

198

and then week eight would probably just be a heavy single

199

so i guess that's the goal is i'm gonna wait for six more weeks to max out um

200

or if it's like in those last four weeks

201

if i feel really good one day that might right back

202

but technically that's funny um it's kind of like the heaviest i've ever done i've done it for four

203

so i do want to hit six wheels though i just get

204

so psyched out on squats when i go for one rep max i don't know why man it's like

205

man i love it i love squatting i love sitting in a quarter

206

and squatting so anyways we hit

207

that top set i'm fired up now we're gonna drop it 40 pounds to 505

208

and we're gonna get three by six back off

209

or that's that's the plan it can be hard heavy sets

210

oh we're just getting started baby just getting started all right

211

guys we got our back offsets dropped at 40 to 505

212

and the goal here's a three by six

213

so these can be heavy these are hard this five pounds from last week last week into 500

214

so top sets i'm trying to add 10 pounds a week at least five five to ten

215

and back off so usually five it's probably doing the same rep scheme week two weeks

216

so that's what i do i keep the same rep scheme for two weeks

217

so top set of four three by six back off

218

and i just try to add five i like doing two weeks at a time i used to do three

219

but then i would kind of run out and i

220

end up plateauing 32 they're gonna go down the reps

221

and i go down reps i see that for six of a week

222

so let's rip it baby we got the two things going

223

today man i'll tell you what we got a little what

224

we got in the earbuds we got a little uh wasteland

225

and the goal here is a three by six

226

so these are gonna be heavy these are gonna be hard

227

this five pounds from last week last week into 500 so top sets i'm trying to add 10 pounds a week

228

at least five five to ten then back off sushi five

229

it's probably doing the same rep scheme week two weeks

230

so that's what i do i keep the same rep scheme for two weeks

231

so tops at a four three by six back off

232

and i just try to add five i like doing two weeks at a time i used to three

233

but then i would kind of run out and i'd end up plateauing

234

so i need two then i go down the reps then i go down right

235

so i see that for six eight weeks

236

so let's rip it baby we got the tunes going today

237

man i'll tell you what we got a little what we got in the earbuds we got a little uh Wasteland?

238

We're not big time.

239

No, no, no, he's good.

240

Oh, give me that sixer.

241

Oh Yeah

242

Oh Guys

243

so squats finish

244

heavy set of four at 545 freaking moved on the three

245

by six at a uh 505 my i want to use

246

my quads feel great yesterday was rest day i did absolutely nothing i went to red sox team actually

247

and they went on a walk-off it was really fun game

248

down 2-0 in the ninth bases loaded it was like a freaking guy ground up to first

249

but it was like a force out at home

250

but the catcher didn't have his foot on the plate

251

so they went on a walk-off

252

so fun game anyways besides the point i did nothing

253

and it was nice just to you know i got 10

254

000 steps i did three sets of toes to bar for abs

255

but otherwise i just laid around and rested

256

and i think obviously i we we know important rest days are for like performance

257

and like taking advantage of them so you know i love training

258

and i i train six days a week i do double days for those days

259

so it is nice to make sure i have one legit rest day

260

and it's it's almost more for a mental obviously from a

261

physical standpoint like yes i need my body to rest

262

and that's why i feel so good especially

263

because i did lift it i did lift on friday

264

and i squat on sunday so it's a quick turnaround so I need that rest in between, but also a mental standpoint, just like, you know, I have it one day where it's like, you know, I'm not like, I love being obsessed with lifting,

265

I love lifting weights, and I was still thinking about it pretty much all day, but when I'm not in the gym, it's just a good like mental release,

266

so, I feel really good from my rest of my legs feel fresh as hell.

267

So and the jump showed and I kind of know if those jumps all felt good, I'm like alright, it's gonna be a good squat day.

268

And although my low back's a tiny bit sore, I feel good.

269

So I'm making one modification with today's lift.

270

I've been doing stiff leg and deadlifts.

271

So stiff leg and deadlifts, I just come all the way to the ground, dead stop on the ground, then come up.

272

Whereas an RDL, I come to that mid shin height.

273

I'm gonna go already else instead just because my low back is

274

so sore this stiff like it puts a little more emphasis

275

on my lower back having to come all work my bottom position all the way to ground

276

so rather than

277

that I'm just gonna load the hamstrings heavier obviously I prefer

278

already else I was doing stiff like a deadlifts just to

279

kind of change it up you know a harder variation for me

280

but because my low back's sore I'm just gonna do some heavy RDLs

281

and you know come to that mid shin height

282

but I get asked a lot

283

and I used to be confused I was like what's this

284

include a stiff like an RDL it really is like a

285

stiff-legged you're again it's in the name you're kind of a little more stiff it's a little more hamstring

286

and you're coming all the way to the ground pausing for

287

a second then coming up where there's an rdl you bend the knees a tiny bit more

288

and you're coming to that mid shin height so

289

they're basic it's it's like doing this you know it's just a different variation of it and um

290

so i'll go through blocks where i'll go stiff-legged for a

291

couple weeks for the most part i usually go rdls that's like my usual go-to

292

but i want to do stiff-legged but again low back's a little sore so

293

We'll go RDLs

294

and RDLs I can go a lot heavier like stiff looking at them like 465 for sets of 6

295

RDLs I should go to do like

296

500 plus for sets of 6 to 8 so yeah warming up and we'll get into it

297

Oh God.

298

It's six, it's actually heavier than I expected on the first set.

299

But I'm going to aim for a three by six, or five to seven essentially.

300

God, I love some heavy RDLs, baby.

301

I love some freaking heavy RDLs.

302

and it's one of those moves man like once you like

303

kind of get the form down you should be surprised how like heavy you can load it

304

and also i always recommend straps when i was in college i was anti-straps

305

and bro i would be already yelling like 100 pounds less than what i should have been doing

306

because i was like oh i can't wear straps it's cheating

307

i just have this like i used to be like raw

308

lifting like no belt no straps back in college like literally i would wear squat shoes that's it um

309

and then one day i was like why am i not

310

wearing a belt why am i not using straps i'm just restricting myself

311

but i guess it is kind of cool to say i

312

hit like uh i did hit 500 for five on squats

313

in my parents garage during covid with no with nothing on no okay i close on i mean no belt

314

uh just just just my shorts and t-shirt and some grit um but i definitely recommend straps in about Like, definitely helps out a lot,

315

especially on Ardielis At least straps, man, because your grip is such a limiting factor on this And you're just holding back your strings and glutes Uh, you can definitely load it way heavier, so Yeah, we'll go, uh,

316

set two Set two or three Come on,

317

come on, come on, take one Oh, man Oh!

318

Oh!

319

Oh!

320

Oh Come

321

on Oh All right guys,

322

movement three of this nasty leg day.

323

So we squatted, we already yelled, and then I leg press.

324

I always do these three, the trifecta, the back-to-back-to-back.

325

We do this for like two years now and absolutely love the combo.

326

Obviously, it's a lot in one session.

327

You know me, I'm a volume maxer.

328

I like my heavy compounds.

329

But the reason I love leg press, so I've been lifting for almost 14 years now.

330

I rarely leg press for about 12 years.

331

I used to like be a leg press hater, and then all of a sudden I started doing them like two years ago.

332

I'm like this has been the thing that's missing out now.

333

I absolutely love leg press and I love doing it Especially after I squat

334

and hinge heavy with a barbell

335

because it's it's an exercise I can load super heavy I

336

get a really good range of motion absolutely blast my quads

337

and another thing I really like is like I literally just lay back

338

and I just close my eyes

339

and I think about pushing as hard as humanly possible

340

So like I get a really good mind muscle connection I get a really good, you know stimulus in my legs

341

because all I'm thinking about is just like all I'm focused

342

on just pushing as hard as possible pushing my quads

343

and like so what i've been doing on this i've been doing more of a narrow stance

344

so kind of lower on the pad

345

or kind of lower on the foot plate

346

and just going a little more narrow than like my squat width i like this a lot

347

because it just hits my quads more

348

and again i already squatted i already already already out hit kind of my main strength compound lifts

349

so i'd like having something like a leg press where i'm like in

350

that typically i'll go like that eight to twelve range two hard ass sets

351

so i'll go one set balls to wall barely get get

352

that last rep and then I rest for however long I need and then that's gonna do it one more time

353

and I absolutely love that uh method leg press is like the only exercise

354

or there's probably a couple exercises but one of the few exercises

355

that I feel like I'm gonna shed a tear in the

356

middle of a set it destroys me destroys me in a good way

357

but yeah shout out leg press I know it's like a classic lift

358

but yeah I used to overlook this movement

359

and ever since I added in two years ago I feel like it's drastically helped my squat

360

and deadlift and it's helped me get build my quad So, narrow stance leg press, let's freaking rip.

361

Let's get the tunes, go home baby.

362

Oh, come on.

363

Come on.

364

Oh my gosh, that destroys me.

365

Oh man.

366

God, there's such a good movement.

367

I can't believe I didn't leg press for those years.

368

That, I feel it so much.

369

Oh my gosh, I feel so much of my quads.

370

there's just the india that narrow stance

371

that that's been more of a recent thing usually i've been going more of a wider stance but

372

that narrow stance man maybe it's just this leg press too

373

like this is like probably the greatest leg press ever created

374

the nubia newbie oh i can't top nubia i think it's a 35 degree

375

so it's not as steep which i really like it's just

376

so smooth oh man all right guys next up we can go back to the hamstrings this machine is

377

so freaking nice it's a kneeling single leg hamstring curl i

378

absolutely love it i absolutely freaking love it i used one last week

379

and just a great contraction my hamstring

380

so typically next to me this seat hamstring curls my favorite all time the ham tractor

381

but i do that my other leg day

382

so i do hamstring curls twice a week i like doing a seated on my second leg day

383

and then my first one usually do like a lion hamstring curl

384

but i'm not a huge fan of lion hamstring curls i never get a good contraction

385

and then i used this last week and i was like holy

386

that feels really good

387

so we'll world with this another great one would be a ghd i do like good ham raises um

388

but i want to change it up and really like this

389

so here we'll just go two sets those uh leg presses

390

destroyed me man destroyed me in a good way super happy

391

that i will say on the rdls i end up only getting 6.65

392

my low back was just so cooked

393

and i you know just you know couldn't get hit all

394

the reps i wanted to that's fine as long as i gave an accident with each

395

that keeping that myself so two uh three four Four sets of squats, three hard sets of RDLs, two hard sets of leg press.

396

We have two sets of string curls and we'll finish with adductors and calf raises, but yeah, let's get the hammies.

397

Oh I

398

asked who moved to the day has to the first set we'll go two sets here super set adductors

399

and a leg press in a calf raise variation on a leg press

400

so just two sets 8 to 12 inch finish strong adductors

401

been loving as in I've been doing the last two weeks but I used to never never train my Well, I used to do a lot of Copenhagen planks, but I used to never use this machine.

402

And then a couple of weeks ago, I noticed my groin was kind of getting a little tight.

403

And I was like, uh-oh.

404

And I did adductors one day that just opened me up.

405

And ever since then, I've just felt really good.

406

And obviously, I like this movement because obviously I'm strengthening my adductors.

407

I'm loading it heavy.

408

I'm going zero reps of reserve.

409

But it's also great because it's almost like a weighted stretch.

410

It forces you open.

411

It just really opens up your groin.

412

And then you can obviously strengthen your adductors.

413

So that's kind of a win-win for me.

414

I just get off this and I feel good.

415

I feel nice and loose.

416

So, and obviously your adductor is huge muscle too.

417

So it's something that I haven't trained a lot of.

418

So definitely want bigger quads.

419

So go to movement.

420

So go here.

421

And then I'm using like one of those linear 45 degrees leg presses to hit my quads, or my calves.

422

Oh So Oh

423

Oh oh man

424

all right guys i love doing calves on a leg press

425

i hate seated calf raises i love a seated calf raise variation this one's really nice

426

so this one's like a seated leg press

427

but it's like a 45 degrees so go here big stretch in the calves

428

Alright guys, great leg day complete.

429

There's just nothing more to do than a hard freaking lift.

430

I love it.

431

I freaking love this stuff baby.

432

Oh man.

433

I love lifting weights.

434

I love working out.

435

I'm sure you guys do too.

436

That's why you're watching these videos.

437

But yeah, good leg day today.

438

Heavy squats, heavy arduos, bunch of leg press.

439

You know, leg days should be hard.

440

They should be daunting.

441

You know, they should require a lot of effort and that's what makes them so rewarding.

442

So train your legs heavy.

443

Don't skip leg day.

444

Don't be a leg day skipper.

445

Train them hard, train them often.

446

Get some juicy thighs, baby.

447

So appreciate you guys watching.

448

I'll see you guys in the next one.

449

Stack damn days.

450

Peace.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
