5 Leg Strengthening Exercises

[pwnRonaldopwn]

This isn't a video about him nor his legs. It's the exercises you came here for.

[OneNameJustin]

hey yelk, wouldnt lunges and squats build bigger thighs instead of slimming and toning them? when there is resistence in an exercise, you build muscles and that causes the thighs to get big?

[joshuabarnes7]

no homo but hes not small he just have his shirt on you can tell hes in shape for his size and all his workouts is on point yawl why take the video out of its context and try to attack someone whose in shape because your not!

[kevra83]

The guy is smaller muscular body form probably because he's a pretty serious runner. I'm a runner myself so I know what I'm talking about. Problem is people have no clue because more than half of this country is over-weight. Btw thanks for core strength training videos.

[ediot6969]

Take this whole workout and it doesn't match my first 4 sets in my leg workout. 4 sets of 25 back squat. 225 lbs.

[tiotoxico]

This guy is in bettter shape than 98% of the people here. He is skinny by nature and he does not train for muscle size.

Obviously, most people that comment these videos has no idea about what they are watching.

[Jorgenhe93]

His legs are skinny because he is obviously skinny by nature. But that doesnt mean his legs are weak or not muscular. Fucking idiots..

[SkaterBlack123]

this cud help me skate c;

[theinhumanoidz69]

why your legs still skinny why? please tell me why? why? please help me why?

[Mariose123]

@theinhumanoidz69 because of genetics ofc...

[dxKID101]

after all this still your legs look skinny and abnormal why ??

[troycluna1]

will any of these exercises stunt your growth?

[iMediaUK21]

Whats the exercise called at 2:09

[21212nicky]

does this help u dunk and are their any workouts just for dunking

[bananzas224]

lol.. stop being so critical you guys. these are all great exercises that people could learn from. hes toned sure and may not have the biggest leg, but who cares? hes in great shape and thats what counts. p

[AnubisEye009]

You are all missing the point of the video which is to show exercises and form.

[lemo43]

his legs are like toothpicks

[VersionBeta1]

The exercises shown in the video is good for getting 'toned' legs but if you want a bigger 'muscular' legs, do squats! and use more weights! That said, they are good exercises for warm-ups.

[TheWhizz123]

Anyone sayin string beans are weak i dunno about the rest of them but im 6'1 and 63kg and i would probably kick the living shit out of ye acrually scratch that i would definitly do it.

[BboyJoeyBoy]

@TheWhizz123 love your comment! Very true. And nice video, thanks.

[dwakai]

I was looking for a short and simple leg routine. These are perfect. BTW, in spite of what they may say, they would die for your body. 

[capoeira2brazil]

Legs require more weights

[Rayzinhamonteiro]

squuueeeeeeeze the glutes lol

[vjelena28]

Thanks, buddy :-))

[SilvaWarrior]

You need to workout the legs more! Good advice, none the less.

[need4peace]

You have chicken feet buddy!!

[Superottowa]

All u commenting about how this guy is skinny.... no shit sherlocks, but he's in good shape and he's discussing toning techniques.

[crunkyj85]

Haha, good call on the marcin gortat. These are good for explosion if you are an athelete, jump squats are good too

[Tatts50]

Funny, I too would qualify as a 'string bean', however, a bodybuilder friend of mine followed me on one of my leg days a while back. He was throwing up 2/3 the way through.

[THE6PLAYER9]

i need to strenghten out my legs im try out for the mls this year i wana become a professional soccer player and i wana have hella strong ass legs to bomb the chetos out of everybody

[dimonai01]

he's a distance runner you freaking morons of course he's going to have skinny legs

[tattooo05]

skinny legs...

[chimaira6668]

already know its bullshit I heard "tone" and "sculpt" goodbye shitty video

[KentC013]

thanks,i'm going to try these out tommorrow,some of these people are posting hateful stuff but i like those exercises and never seen them at 24 hour fitness...pz

[TheGCMaddog]

Toned?! Worst word ever invented!!

[Megamusclebuilding]

Everyone seems to neglect leg muscles probably because they are the most painful ones to train. When I first started I was the same but once I started to train my lower body it was easier to train my upper body

[loganrunjack]

this guy looks skinny but i bet he is most likely a personal trainer

[tulls3]

your a fagot

[bts1911]

@tulls3 Wow you only got one word right in a three word phrase... and it was the letter a...

[mentidoso]

Its all in the hips, its all in the hips.

[Brigasaur]

Will you marry me? :)

[fdny1055]

When doing these workouts it's ok to lock your knees?

[Mijumaru500]

@fdny1055

Heeeeeeeell no.

[Rubylove556]

ur skinny

[NewEm1n3m]

on the second excersise, do u use the heel on the block to help lift you up or just the other leg??

[ckhid]

i just did this work out and This is NO JOKE. What a great workout you can do at home. I felt like a 'space man' walking back downstairs at my home. Muslces DEFINITELY worked out pretty well

[Aydee2020]

This dude looks like Jeff Stinco from Simple Plan.

[CaseyM1308]

Thank you Marcin gortat.

[Smielyb2000]

I did a couple of exercises today and have to say that you are the "t"!

[omartop1]

these are sum good exercises man!  thanks!

[TheMisterKibe]

This was the best legs exercises video I've seen so far.

[OnoffonStyler]

thanks!

[3peenuts]

Finally some workout videos I can follow along to and incorporate into my VERY busy mom schedule! No fancy shmancy equipment and not having to watch someone that seems to be talking "down" to me; I may just have to check out some other videos; well done! :)

[mrclitlips]

lol this is for punks that go to the clubs with their string bean bodies. Go do some heavy squats and learn something

[kittycattrashbag]

@mrclitlips

and yet you took the time to watch his video.....hmmm I wonder. Well mister, if you think you can do better, go ahead make a video see what the world has to say about you.

[MrCoryUSA]

@mrclitlips - Wow, you dont have to be a loser about it. Coming from the guy who probs goes to clubs and gets turned down for being a fat, ugly wanker. If poeple want to do endurance and toning workouts dont put them down for it.

[MrCoryUSA]

@mrclitlips - Wow, you dont have to be a loser about it. Coming from the guy who probs goes to clubs and gets turned down for being a fat, ugly wanker. If poeple want to do endurance and toning workouts dont put them down for it. This vid is great.

[brknspacebar]

Very nice job

[jeromewauk]

excellent !!!!!

[barnesec]

I will break you, string bean man, with your girly exercises

[barnesec]

I will break you, string bean man

[zacdamac87]

@barnesec We might be string beans but we could make you tap out.

[spicewood1990]

[Smileasaur8]

Very helpful! Thank you :)

[xSliKclan]

Hello how often should i be doing this exercise? Everyday or every other day?

[MASR4]

I felt this alright.

[orangedac]

i'll try the one where i lie down and push up with the leg.

thanks.

[Toadybear03]

He know what he's doing. I had to do a lighter version of these for leg strengthening in physical therapy.

[theshikuflare]

can you do these without weights?

[DoctorGreenthumb69]

@theshikuflare your dumb.

[theshikuflare]

@DoctorGreenthumb69 f*ck you

[cashtocrue]

He's got some strings hanging out of his shorts, wait, those are his legs, never mind.

[buddyofplumphy]

Doing these then trying to do wall sits dpsnt work out

[YTdiscusser]

your legs don't inspire me >:(

[MoreThanJustSkinDeep]

@YTdiscusser um...what's everybody talking about? He is like pure muscle. I'd like to see what you guys look like if you think that's not muscular.

[YTdiscusser]

@MoreThanJustSkinDeep

i'm pure bone and muscle myself.i've been working out for almost five years. and i'm hating it. i want to be massive not ripped but big.. i hate being ripped only i look like my guts are everywhere. i want my legs to show when i wear pants. and i don't want to have an unproportional body, i hate it when some of my shirts are hanging from behind. i want to be comfortable when i wear shorts, not like my legs disappear from the distance.

[MoreThanJustSkinDeep]

@YTdiscusser That's not a bad thing! I personally think thin, non-bulky guys are very cute. You don't have to look super bulky to look muscular and attractive. I'm sure you are fine the way you are:)

[dchen345]

Those are some pretty scrawny legs.

[T3kozRockz]

I been trying all these workouts and my legs and ass been hurting for 2 days now lol

[TheFitnessShinobi]

@T3kozRockz hahah that means it did what it should have done. good job, strech and get rest, then repeat.

[badoing2000]

i hate it how your arms are muscular and it looks like you have a 6 pack and then the legs are skinny as hell

[kittycattrashbag]

@badoing2000

I hate how my arms are muscular and it looks like a have a 6 pack and then my ass is fat ass hell.

[probablymike]

lunge into step up looks like an absolute killer!!... my sports kickboxing n ive been out for a while so when ive got my legs back ill be giving that a go !!

[BRAD5HAW91]

Can someone tell me the name of the second exercise?

[logaboya]

This guy is awesome.

[Conspiracyknowledge]

this guy is as jewish as a 45th street bagel hahaha nice exercise. thank you.

[flash1089]

he's not big but he looks fit. I like that

[RandomGuyNamedSteve]

im sure any skinny mother fuckers you know would be snapped in half by this guy you muscle freaks may be twice as big and bearly stronger then this guy i know someone my almost size who doesnt lift weights but is really healthy and hes way stronger then i am hes also like 175 or somthing and im 210

[donniedarko88888]

ivan ljubicic! xDD

[brosauce69]

hey everybody! go ahead and do these if you want to look like a yoga/pilates puss, other than that its a great workout

[Viccybi]

You look like a gummybear...

[kittycattrashbag]

@Viccybi

hehehehe :p

[HIMnHER666]

he speaks very clear!

[BlackbeanTofu]

just wondering how many reps and sets you do for each exercise?

[imthamouth]

Size and strength are not always the same. Look at fighters (mma, boxing, muay thai, etc). They lift weights all the time, constantly building strength and power, without leaving their weight class. Also, note that he did not title this "Mass Building Exercises".

[gwalid2]

when i do this exrecise i fell the pain in my thigh not in the legs

[TVDITB]

i LOVE LOVE LOVE your accent! :D

[heatherawrful]

Like, Ryoden mentioned, it is obvious he isn't trying to gain mass. Everybody has different fitness goals. To be quite honest to me, guys with huge veiny arms is actually fucking nasty :) please do not touch me.

[EnterInTheShikari]

says the guy with chicken legs

[xNarutoUzumakiShpx]

pause at 3:31

[mryousmell]

thanks

[fahmisora]

wow!!

thank you :D

[anujgamer343]

fuck dude, the area below my ass (upper hamstrings) is killing me. I got sore in the first 30seconds of working out.

[jasn567]

good if u want more endurance running not good if u want to build muscle mass

[mex036]

@jasn567 exactlyyyyyyyy. missing some good ol' squats haha.

[LTMagic21]

@jasn567 did he ever say muscle mass? no.

[CANETZ]

Awesome video



[SuperTongpo]

This guy has the build of someone in the advanced stages of AIDS.

[gingermist21]

Oh I am so trying these out!

[GiefGoldPlx]

Would I be wrong in assuming that you are a spinning instructor too?

[89Ryanhoward]

I wonder do the more strength you have in your legs the faster and quicker you are

[chrisbear08]

@89Ryanhoward No. What makes your legs fast and quick are fibers in your muscle called Fast Twitch Fibers and Slow Twitch Fibers. Everyone has a different ratio of slow to fast twich fibers. You may be thinking now well how do i get more fast-twich fibers? Well the answer to that is you cannot. It's something generic and you are bown with them and you can not produce more or less of these fibers. The best thing to do is to teach you muscles the certain thing you want to do.

[chrisbear08]

@chrisbear08 *born with them

[XxCrazyAssCodShotsxX]

@chrisbear08 actually u can change your fast twitch fibers .it is genetic but u can train to change your slow twitch fibers by doing sprints and other stuff like that etc.

[weslie187]

Thanks for the video. I'm going to try this work out tommorow. See how it feels.

[iBSeannn]

damn first time doing those my legs are killing me never worked out legs before but apparently its crucial for building mass and overall body strength. nice vid.

[stevensabile3]

will this help me kick strong when swimming?

[DemonXY2J]

LOL amatuers dont look at his legs you gaymos look at his calves

[lilthomasking3]

skateboarding higher pop ;)

[xxHHHxx1]

thnx i'll start now

[SOYOUTRYTOHIDES]

6 or 5 exercises? make up your mind!

[djw80158]

ahhhhh, the comfort of working out in church sox...hehehe (jk)

[gtjet1]

noob u fucker that is not exercises

[Ali619r]

@thrashwillwin go for a jog or a fast walk..i am not trying to take the piss by the way

[latrodectus88]

YOUR LEGS DO NOT SPEAK OF WHAT YOU DO WELL

[TheMrMonkee]

Great video.... not exercises i don't know which i'm greatful for....... but these are exercises that will spice things up to what i'm currently doing as these seem more advanced. Thanks for the upload as the one leg hip extender one is one i fear most but i plan to start hitting soon. :)

[kwstaras]

To all you ... people... Bodybuilders are not the only people working out for fuck's sake.. You can have great power, speed, endurance n look good without being huge! I wonder who the fuck do you people look up to...

[2007killa]

he's a skinny type of person, no one is born perfect. He does have muscles, but in a skinny type. Nothing you can do about it he's born like that.

[TheMrMonkee]

@2007killa lool hes a toned dude, i bet if his shirt was off you would eat those words

[FKINGPHIL]

@2007killa yeah hes like bruce lee!!!

[TheCrazyBugga]

@2007killa i think it is you who is not born perfect, judging people for the different shapes they are, this guy would knock the light out of your dumb skull.

[melody4afallendream]

@2007killa exactly I'm naturally skinny and I'm stronger and more powerful then every boy and girl in my class

[1432209]

@2007killa that is bullshit

[Garett0439]

@2007killa This video doesn't contradict what your saying. Not!

[hariroker]

hae dont have legs just two sticks...

[fshfrghedht64]

how many days a week would you recomend working on legs cause i reli wanna improve because i do a lot of running and i hate it when your legs start burning so it would be good to get my legs in good shape so they last longer

[jzekas1]

lot of flexibility using either no weights or several kinds of weight. thanks

[mjacksonlover18]

cool that was fun i'm a bodybuilder

[ndividuall]

Thanks. This really helps with getting ready for OCS. I can feel it. I also wanted to avoid bulk, because I need to be able to run and swim for endurance.

[Ryoden235]

I think some of you are showing your ignorance here. He's not exercising for mass gains here. He's working for strength and endurance. I think if you watch him do some of these and get past the jealousy, you could admit that you can not do any of these nearly so easily as he is doing them.

Also worth mentioning, he's not breathing hard after these. I dare say most of you negative commentators would be reaching asphyxiation by the end of his workout possibly in danger of a coronary.

[Sleepwalker52]

@Ryoden235 Well said

[T3hFreek]

@Ryoden235 I totally agree with people(mostly little kids) say like O he is small. This guy i bet can do these leg workouts all, he probably has little to no fat. And you can tell because this guy is super CUT.

[carbonlaminate]

@Ryoden235 I can't hear you! I got donut clogging my ear canal!

[JasonJarred]

@Ryoden235 Before calling others out for 'showing their ignorance' (which may or may not be true), you should first realise that you can't train for both strength and endurance in the same workout. The methodologies for achieving each of these run counter to each other - strength is typically achieved through low-rep, high weight exercise, while endurance is through high-rep, low weight.

I agree with your unstated point though; his physical attributes do not detract from his expertise.

[TheWhiteTragedy]

@Ryoden235 very well said :)

[FilmFlex42]

@Ryoden235

English Please? LOL

[coffeeaugur]

I like your exercises and lean is good, but I think a little more muscularity would give you more credence

[OTOWN2STOCKTOWN]

@coffeeaugur His body composition is that of a typical long distance athletic runner. I think he´s not going after muscles a lot.

[caleb4568]

how many time a week do you do this?

[tillik505]

mate i want to tone ma legs not have lollipop sticks lmao

[SkillzManiac]

make sure u use the bathroom BEFORE you do the sumo squats

[stpetersbeerg]

Its important to lunge with forward and land on your toes, not your heels.

[hazardroll1]

does he do any of these? i mean hes kinda small

[UItimatesnake]

@hazardroll1

dude look at his legs.

[GamerGuy2134]

lol u were teabaggin the ground at 3:17

[ElChile2010]

At 24 he said six exercises or did i hear wrong,'cause on the bottom it says 5 right?

[soccerskillz95]

"todays work oot" lol

[madcrazydm]

do gingers have souls?

[InsaneMangos]

@madcrazydm im almost positive they dont

[Sniffle27]

i bet he gets all the bitches

[dhoyrock]

more of you guys are insecure...why dont you sit down forever and eat a lot of fats so that you cannot do these exercises forever!n sedentary people is ugly people and at the same time weaker though!

[dhoyrock]

yes i want to grow taller so i will do these exercises...i dont care if you say that my legs is not big...these exercises make our legs grow longer so it is better for people that want to grow taller! wow! five star for you friend!

[duster1983montana]

[civilenginero]

[ViciousVixenBaybee]

His legs are skinny damn but you can see muscle and veins looks freaky =/ I a trying this though need new leg workout. My legs are tone but definitely hope this helps build muscle

[clarkey1009484]

[clarkey1009484]

[hostkevin]

wtf tho.. he has weak legs.. im 16 and even mine are stronger than his >.>

[11033066099]

do these exercises help the legs grow longer,..cuz my arms are very long, lol

[Anhslaught]

Hey Yuri,

Your videos are very informative, but do you have something for calf workouts? I have giant quads, medium hamstrings, but my calves are extremely small. I have extreme flat feet with bad knees and ankles, my doctor said I shouldn't be running at all. I felt that that my doc might have given me a half assed advice and I'm sure there would be stuff that is safe for me to do. Any advices?

[pcsiva]

Am i the only one who fell down the stairs after doing this?

[blackdawn88655]

@pcsiva lol. u need a better work out space.

[srbijanajbolja]

@pcsiva lol

[megotsawii]

@pcsiva ur not alone

[frosty017]

Just wanted to say you did a great job. Simple, effective and well presented. I will be checking out your other videos. Thanks!!!!!!!!!

[wubs23]

you cannot tone muscles.

you can only make them grow.

toning is done by reducing body fat.

[saxman414]

you can definitely tone muscles. working muscles with a much lower weight, but for many reps helps to work and shape muscle fibers for a more "desirable" look

[wubs23]

@saxman414 yes, because the muscles grow. what they would do quicker with heavy weights. you still won't see that however if your body fat is high, which is why you need to bring that down.

[Navyseal925]

dude u got chicken legs
