Bodyweight Leg Workout "No Gym Required"

[13dipshit]

is that rim 10ft ?

[leemhayward]

@13dipshit

I don't know, we never measured it, but I doubt it...

[SuperOs1000]

can these get ur legs swole??

[leemhayward]

@SuperOs1000

Bodyweight workouts are a great complement to regular weight training workouts. But you still need good old fashion weight training for maximum muscle growth.

[nickrunaway2]

LOL at the kid at 2:40

[dokterkarel]

yo Lee. with all due respect, but isn't squatting on the tip of your toes bad for your knees? Well, that's how I experienced it

[leemhayward]

@dokterkarel

Squatting on the toes is the way the squat was originally done back in the old days of bodybuilding. In fact they didn't even call it a squat, they called it a Deep Knee Bend. Flat foot squatting came along long after that. Bottom line, just try it out and see how it feels. I personally find doing body weight squats on the toes isolates the quads better then flat foot squats.

[justbigjoe]

You should do a video on pistol squats, practice, techniques and proper form. If YOu haven't done them in a while you know they will be difficult. I think it baffling that I can squat fairly good with a few hundred pounds at least but I can not do one lousy pistol squat to save my life....LOL!

[justbigjoe]

Lee have you ever done any pistol squats? Suoer hard to do. no weight required.

[leemhayward]

@justbigjoe

Yeah, they are an awesome bodyweight leg exercise that you could do as well.

[comeandgetit55]

baseball players should do this.

[RunChick87]

i just did this whole thing, sorta... except I used my apt ceiling that is probably like 7 or 8' for the jumps, but I'm short.

[THCory]

this looks like it could be pretty good! ill try out some of these exercises today since i cant make it to the gym

[gerrardizking]

monster calves 

[JRKyte]

Just want to say thanks Lee, I can't get to the gym for 2 weeks and was desperate not to stop training. Deciding legs was probably the easier to work with just bodyweight and improvisation in my garden, I came across this while researching how to hit them hard.

Did 5 sets of the circuit, 2 mins rest between the circuits, no rest between exercises.

And It was brutal my friend. So thanks a lot :)

Going to sub you :)

[melloman93]

Idk if i could do the fly metric jumps im too tall i barely have to jump to hit the rim. might just jump in the air like an idiot lol

[DrJuice1]

this is some good stuff. i train bb squats, but there've been times when i couldn't get to the gym and i did bw exercises at home. it's ridiculous the burn you can get from lunges or bw squats; it can actually be more intense than bb squats depending on your reps/sets.

[MunchMyBigNutz]

coool

[harrvies]

communism?

[raurtom]

Ain't it a bitch being short lee? :P

[hfreaks]

Good legs workout , But the PISTOL SQUAT should your weight on your heals .

The one u perform will makes injury ,,.

Peace

[StarWarNerd]

would this slim the legs cause that is what i need , i have big thighs.

thanks in advance

[waxyweller]

If you do this guys workout .. U will loose 20kg in 2 weeks with normal diet.. believe me

[yanzionly]

@waxyweller

u are damn right

[AfroSchmuck]

When I finally was able to max out on my home free weights for calves I was so depressed. Then my sister who takes ballet, said try "releves." I said okay then went into my room and laughed my ass off for 5 minutes straight. But I was so desperate I tired it and now after 4 days I can still barley walk from the soreness. Duh, I've used push ups to stimulate DOMS and peck growth so I should've known better. A releve is just a calf raise. Low-weight high-reps can be a God send in bodybuilding.

[murphy0847]

Lee i'v been trying to get you to answer my question for a while so sorry but this will be posted on lots of your vids :)....I'm doing the 12 week routine outlined in the blast your bench. Can I do lots of cardio afterwards like an hour or should i turn the 5 minute warm up into an hour of cardio...or even do 30 before and 45 minutes after the workout?????

[Ataro104]

I didn't know "freight trains" could breathe :P

[TransFitness101]

My gym membership ended a few days ago and this will be perfect as I'm not trying to renew it when I ship out for the military in a month, thanks for sharing this. Totally going to use this in my getting ready for basic work outs.

[Shake99]

What r we talkin about for rest and reps? Like a min, min a half and to failure?

[leemhayward]

@Shake99

We're just basically going set for set. I never really timed the rest periods. We are NOT training to failure. Lunge a lap of the court, sets of 10 for all the jumps, and sets of 25 for the squats and calve raises. Repeat for 3-5 circuits depending on how you feel.

[pupnirn]

@leemhayward Hey Lee .... Why Communist Hat?

[iverar]

Thanks for the vid, Lee - some good stuff. Keep em coming.

[TheDavidgibby]

is that hoop 10ft or 9ft?

[leemhayward]

@TheDavidgibby

I have no idea, we didn't break out the tape measure. But I doubt it's 10 feet.

[strengthtraining101]

@leemhayward how tall is the guy jumping at 3:36 i could prolly tell

[bassshred37]

good workout vidio thanks Lee.great if your in a pinch ,away from home and no access to gym equipment.

[alonsojoven]

careful whit those joints jumping whit that weight

[NeoUnknown]

Damn, lee has some hops. I remember doing those exercises and boy I was walking funny afterwards. XD

[mchong91]

PISTOL SQUATS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[leemhayward]

@mchong91

It's an awesome exercise and you could do these in place of the hindu squats if you like.

[proteinboy818]

the second guy sucks at these jump exercises. He doesn't land in an athletic position and absorb the impact. Probably be better to have good technique.

[2muchgoods]

Mexican???, looks black lol

[rrg020891]

@2muchgoods fuck you asshole not all mexicans are black, i think you have a peanut instead of brain, before being racist just think, youre an idiot!!

[2muchgoods]

@rrg020891 no you dumb shit, someone said he looked mexican, i was saying, i think he looks more black... calm down

[TheBallaaa4sho]

@2muchgoods haha, you have to be more clear...... next time next time

[jacesa]

@rrg020891 en vez de star hechando pdo, mejor ve primero lo ke el we quiso decir, lo mal entendiste todo

[Drewzker]

Lee dunk!

[leemhayward]

@Drewzker

If I could dunk it would have been on the video :-)

Basketball is not my specialty and I don't think there are too many 5'6 tall guys who are good at dunking.

[Skyoneer2007]

I can lift more weight on tipy toe squat where your hills come off the flore when you lift the weight back up, then keeping my hills on the flore

[OneMenWreckingCrew]

[nickpeter101]

[themusclecook]

[OutBack206]

[subxpert786]

[themusclecook]

@subxpert786 it was bended... 9' - 9.5' maybe....

[flaminfireboy]

[Flexmeister]

[leemhayward]

@Flexmeister

I'm just squinting because it was sunny out and I didn't have my sun glasses. As for why we were in Cuba... Well it was to eat, drink, & party of course :-)

[chitownp1noy]

we do lots of plyometric training in my MMA training lots of kettlebells cross fit and olympic lifting and tire flips sled pulls lots of bear crawls and lots of grip strength work but this seems to be a good leg workout good for explosive strength

[themrparkerman]

[rizmatthew]

[themusclecook]

@getoffme10 ahah..ouppss.. lol

[elgoose2003]

does hanging from a pull up bar for long periods of reps just hanging to strech spine and arms, can that help you grow an inch or two?

[allied67]

[themusclecook]

@allied67 definately needed to re-hydrate a lot during this workout:)
