  • dont shit urself on the leg extension machine ahahah, Nice workout scott. I'm watching this before I go to the gym!

  • This guy is fucking awesome

  • you don't go low enough

  • sooner or later Scott aka jimmy struthers will SNAP! some shit up!

  • Comment removed

  • his lower back will be fucked

  • I can't go to the gym and do leg workouts cause of a hernia, my upper legs are ok but is there any at home calf workouts that I can do? Could someone please help? And if you wanna know why I need help on my calfs just watch a vid I posted I think it's called me working out part 2, I'm not doing a leg workout but it's the only vid I have up at the moment where you can see my lower legs

  • @ixBreaker500xi sit on a chair and put the wife on your knees and then lift your heels off the ground. You can also do this quickly with her facing you for added enjoyment!

  • this is the most awkward leg workout i have seen...

  • @efil4aggin92 My routine's very similar :S

  • garauntee this guy would be 10x bigger if he didnt overtrain every workout. seriously this is 24 sets just for legs. hes not on roids and hes trains like he is. id be in the gym for 2.5 hours doing this. heres a 10x better routine.

    stiff leg deadlifts 3 sets 10-15 reps

    heels elevated squats/ leg presses 3 sets 10-15 reps.

    walking lunges 3 sets 10-15 reps

    seated calf raises 3 or 4 set 3-5 reps. half the sets and the time and the same results.

  • Why such high reps?!

  • @rugbyprit he uses such high reps because some people's legs respond to better muscle growth/strength when using high reps. I prefer about 15-18 myself. Just find what works best for you.

    My personal advise would be to stay above 10 though.

  • FACT:

    All the people who leave negative comments here are fat, jealous, and lazy. Come on people, stop hatin'! Give the guy credit, he knows what he's doing, his body speaks for itself.

    Maybe you all need to hit a gym instead of acting tough on the internet! GET A LIFE YOU LOSERS!

  • Good God please get parrallel

  • It must feel really awkward to do squats with your shirt off

  • love how even though he's working legs he still finds an excuse to take his shirt off lol

  • @Brock1812 would you prefer he took his pants off?

  • @AscendedMike no..just a tshirt and a shorts wud do

  • Those are squats, everybody. 75-90 degrees is correct. Ya'll just mad cause he's good looking.

  • lol @ having the nerve to call that a squat!

  • I like how everyone thinks they're experts when it comes to working out. Everyone works out differently....and guess what, judging from his legs...his way is working for him.

  • this is wack

  • watching this whilst eating hot chips hehe u mad?

  • olympic back squats-5x5,olympic front squats-5x3.romanian deadlifts with clean and snatch grip-3x5 each.has worked for 27 years,if it aint broke,dont fix it.i experiment a little with volume loading and percentages,tempo but ,going on 30 years,it comes back to strictly basic exercises.boredom is in the mind.i get an adrenaline rush just thinking about it every day.better than any bullshit drug.

  • Leg Extension - The worst muscle bulding exercise I know.

  • Fucking half ass leg work out, I hate it when guys think some squats, extensions and calve raises is a complete leg work out. Geeze, take some time to break down the leg muscle, different stances to trigger outside,inside quads, different portions of the hamstrings. I can tell you put this up just to shut people up who keep bugging you about your legs, great...but put more information down, dont just go with the motion, building a good set of legs is really an art.

  •  i have the exact same leg workout diff order besides the smith machine i do the leg press that simth machine is useless

  • Nice Ass LOL

  • for me squat, leg and calves press, calves raise, leg extension and leg curl more than enough routine.

  • I love Scott and enormously appreciate his contribution to the community but those squats are a quick way to snap your shit up!

  • @Econ1260MetZRoberto How so? The free weight squats he kept his spine in a neutral position while maintaining the natural arch in his lower back.

  • You forgot lunges Scott!

  • That smith machine looks dangerous! Does it not let you move freely at all?

  • Way too much weight on the squat...

  • That was the most pathetic demonstration of a squat I've ever seen.

  • compare the views to his upper body vids and leg vids. I see differences to maybe 800 000 more views?

  • no offense man, I know this is an old video and that you usually use very good form, but you should do an updated squats video with better form, this looks like "lower back pain city"

  • Looks like goodmornings at the Beginning! Check out Greg Plitt.com for good form

  • a great website is gregg everetts.every exercise under the sun is fully demonsrated in proper form.theyre short and to the point.specializing in olympic movements,but covers a lot of other ones as well.its incredible!

  • "i found that your calves respond to higher repetitions"

    >no decent calves were filmed that day

  • Do not squat like this guy......

  • well you just taught 392000 ppl to squat incorrectly come on scott your better than that

  • do u own more than one pair of shorts?

  • @ChuchosPoopsicle Probably has 10x of the shorts he is wearing

  • stawy away from foo-foo bullshit unless you are dialing it in for competition,olympic back and front squats,2 inches below parallel,@ 5x5.romanian deadlifts,stiff legged deadlifts,standing raises.

  • contrcted-trains the target bodypart at the point of complete contraction with resistence.an exercise with resistence in the completely contracted position is the best way to finish off a target muscle after as many fibers as possible have been activated with the midrange and stretch.calves-standing,chest-­cable crossovers.hope this helps!

  • in response,the central nervous system triggers a muscle reflrx that generates a fast and powerful contraction.this myotatic,or stretch,reflex is a protective mechanism that provides an extra burst of strength to resist force encountered suddenly.when the reflex is triggered,a very large portion of the muscle fibers suddenly contract.

  • of muscle protein,fluid,and nervous system receptors.within this structure is a special type of muscle fiber that does not have the contractille qualities normally associated with muscle.these special fibers called intrafusal fibers,are wrapped with nerve cells that relay information from muscle to the central nervous system.when a muscle is stretched quickly,the tension in the intrafusal fibers stimulates these nerve cells,sending messages out to the central nervous system at great speed.

  • stretch-emergency response to revive comatose fibers.stretch position movements,the second exercise in standard p.o.f. protocol,activate the myotatic reflex.training the target bodypart at its maximal point of elongation-incline curls for biceps,donkey raises for calves,can force an emergency response from the muscle and bring new fibers into play.the stretch reflex originates deep inside each muscle fiber with a structure called the muscle spindle.the muscle spindle is a complex construction

  • to help with pof;midrange-these exercises are known as mass builders because they train the majority of the target muscle-muscle fibers with heavy weight,so it makes sense to give them priority most of the time.midrange movements involve synergy,or muscle team work,which means that a number of muscle structures work together,with the target muscle as the prime mover[i.e.quads-squat,as well as glutes,hamstrings,lower back,and calves]

  • positions of flexion was in my basic anatomy book.its all right there.

  • Comment removed

  • im not a kid im going on 46 years old and am getting ready to compete in masters olympic lifting.ive competed in bodybuilding,powerlifting,stro­ngman and scottish heavy events.ive been training over 27 years.i never used hacks in my bodybuilding because a-we didnt have one,b-foot placement on squats.thats all.never needed them then,never will.

  • i have 16 power racvks,8 olympic platforms.pendlay and elieko bumper plates,1 specific platform with the elieko competition line .10 buffalo bars.plenty of 2,2.5,3 inch bars.THORS HAMMERS,atlas stones from 125lbs to 464lbs,16 sets of chains,s-cube bars.4.8 acres of land to practice the scottish heavy events with custom cabers,rogue logs with handlre.2 monoliths,reverse hypers.pro half rack for bench,chalk trays at every station.my members want more old time strength.a pair of 250lb anvils on way

  • hack squats,sissy squats,leg extensions,seated leg curls,and all the other junk machines should be melted down into useful equipment such as heavier dumbells-my gym goes from 5-300lbs each,steel i beams and any other equipment that will actually build real muscle.a real man stands up for his point of view,little boys need peer approval.my gym [zeaus gym] will never utilize such nonsense equipment.and my members have told me to invest in real strength equipment.

  • so hard to watch this guy train calves. he doesn't hold the stretch, nor the contraction. no wonder his calves are like twigs

  • @ryanwegner2010 there is no stretch and contraction in a midrange movement. a stretch movement would be donkey calf raises and a contraction would be seated calf raises. he is doing a mid range which can neither fully stretch nor contract the calf muscle. sorry.

  • @davidpenwell1987 don't be so stupid, if you've ever even bothered to do seated calf raises, you'll realise that you can contract the muscle, and stretch them perfectly, if not better than any other exercise. sorry.

  • @ryanwegner2010 and again you are wrong. seated calf raises is a precontracted exercise. the calf muscles are in their fully contracted state from the start. a donkey calf raise is the stretch position of the calf muscle. you might be able to stretch it a short range and it feel like a good stretch but its not stretching the muscle out. instead of calling everybody stupid to make you feel smart, try learning basic human anatomy and the function of what each muscle does.

  • @davidpenwell1987 there is more than one calf muscle you moron.

  • lol leg extensions, useless.

  • Hey Scott, a quick question. You might've already answered this in your previous videos but I didn't want to go through each and everyone of them to find the answer. Why do you only do 6-8 reps? It seems like that's a standard on most of your exercises. I'm just curious. Thanks!

  • That's a big ass gym!

  • your body adapts to systematic stimulas quite quickly,but thats no excuse not to stick with the most basic of exercises for our workouts.olympic squats,olympic front squats,power back squats sill reign king.change tempo,reps,time betwwen sets etc to stir things up.

  • quad definition does not equat to real functional strength.definition is simply a matter of overall bodyfat % ad reduction of bodyfat under the skin.this is one main reason we as bodybuilders eliminate dairy products 8-10 weeks before a show.

  • and not a single complete squat was done that day!

  • @simobgbgbg so?

  • @simobgbgbg ok .. But look at his fucking legs and tell me thatt these are skinny !

  • @simobgbgbg this was done for demonstration purposes stop hating.

  • OMG! I did this workout and couldn't walk properly for 3 days! Kicked me Ass! Loved it!

  • People complaining about his squats. Post a video of you doing more weight or reps while showing off quad definition. Otherwise, shutup nerds.

  • Your on vampire blood scott

  • take lessons from olympic coaches.wtf is that sound this is the first time i turned on the volume.also rest periods should increase as reps get lower.in the instance of ,say 5s,rest about 2-3 min.lower reps 1-3,should be 3-4 minutes.you regain 86% of your strength[due to regeneration and replenishing of ATP stores] in 1 minute.it takes another 2 minutes to regain the other 14%.throw away your clocks and listen to your body think for yourself.

  • skip the hacks,leg extensions,and any smith squat bullshit.blood and sweat legs;olympic 2 inch below parallel back squats-5x5,olympic front squats-5x3,rdls with clean or snatch grip-3x5-6.brutally effective,painfully simple.27 years and NO joint pain.feeling better now at 45 than i did at 20.

  • @MrCranberry777 lol skip hack squats? good one kid.

  • dude if you havent do an updated vid with squats that dont suck, youre better than this

  • Scott's face while he is doing squats

  • good luck on your knee joints 15 years from now! :D...(leg extensions are not meant to be done at a heavy weight...they are a definition workout not a muscle building workout)...since its an unnaturally movement your quads will burn no matter what...just do high reps and youll get a more effective workout! :D

  • His breathing is fucked up

  • What a suck ass squat! Only on youtube...fucktards

  • Hey Scott, isn't Leg extensions bad for the knee?

  • Great Channel BRO! I have started a fitness channel and posted some INSANE workout videos. Would be great if you have a look it might be helpful to a lot of people!!!

  • @HOW2GET6PACKin39DAYS if i see the name of your channel i say u are full of shit without even checking it out

  • @HOW2GET6PACKin39DAYS great job man, i def sub'd.

  • I haven't watched many videos from this guy, but everyone I've seen he seems to do as much weight as he can for one set, despite not the best form just to show off for the camera

  • Is it not better to keep your back straight? ?

  • I TOTALLY thought I was the only one who did those donkey calf raises like that.

  • the hack squat looks horrible, i'd say if i tried it i'd go down and never come back up ha

  • U r doin those squats a bit wrong, but this look like a intense workout. How long are ur legdays?

  • its getting old.

  • Scott I heard that pushing like that on the smith machine was the worst possible thing to do as it puts all the pressure into your knees and they are not supposed to push weight backwards like that

  • Your back is going to hate you one day. You are dipping way too much on your squats. You should never go beyond 45 degrees with your back when you squat

  • @robsetsera Ass to grass kid or go home. Its about strengthening your core and back so the effect on it is almost nothing. And besides he is doing a lowbar squat so actually dont go as low on one than a high bar squat. You have more leverage and the funny thing is low bar is safer on the back than high bar

  • >squatting without a shirt on

    >ISHYGDDT

  • >squatting 1/4 ROM

    >ISHYGDDT

  • >wearing running shoes while squatting

    >ISHYGDDT

  • Thumbs up if you are OCD? 

  • woah scott can do all the weights on the leg extensions O_O

  • Meh, this guy's body isn't impressive enough to merit him having a popular workout channel. Dude doesn't even squat like a man. And why this hell doesn't he have a shirt on? Hell, the main bodybuilders still wear shirts when they lift.

  • 121 people didn't put plenty of weight on the stacks of the machine and it happened that the machine flipped

  • @boopari Cutler takes steroids.... He doesn't have to worry about recovery

  • @NuclearGuru350 so if you take steroids you dont have to eat or anything right? because steroids are obviously some magic injection/pill that does everything for and makes you so jacked right? lmao

  • @boopari thats not even what i said...

  • I love Scott! His workouts always destroy me, and I've never met him, but he sounds like a really nice guy. :-)

  • why no leg press?

  • half a squat...

  • Yeah sure its good exercises but that gotta take atleast 1.5 hour to do.. tbh you only need 45 min to kill ur legs and btw IMPORTANT you might like to do legs with 6-8 reps but thats low reps for legs. You cant go way to heavy, its easy to snap something off in the legs and btw u gotta tell your viewers that. 15-20 reps should be fine. And good video btw

  • @engstrom1995 you must be retarded. pls don't comment on these vids when you have no idea what your saying... only 45 min to kill your legs? legs are the biggest and strongest part of your body, they should take the longest. and 15-20 reps? pls go

  • nice half squats lol

  • those squats look pretty dodgy to me, bar is pretty far down the back and scott's bending way to far forward- looks like a powerlifting movement

  • I do this many workouts for legs and I do it with a friend, it only takes an hour for 3 sets on each workout. He doesn't overdo it, I'm a lot less fit than he is and i have no problem doing my workout.

  • @12346i it's a leg workout, if you can do it easily you aren't trying hard enough, at the end of a GOOD leg workout you should be feeling fatigued as hell and barely able to walk

  • at first i was like 70 pounds or so for the leg extensions? thats not like scott then hes like oops and max it out xD

  • TZZZZZZZZZZZZz TZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzz TZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

  • @thevoid2009 its the only thing that puts me to bed at night.

  • Pretty sure this guy squats less than he benches...

  • Right the way down on those back-squats!

  • what about Deadlift?

  • @yaverushka that's more back than leg.

  • lol the colour of his leg is soooo different at 9:35, i know its the same for probz every1 but still, it looks jokes

  • wow, i personally think that he's bending his back wayyyyy tooo much. that's the only negative point I have about his squats.

  • Scott your "low" squat is not even parallel, c'mon man

  • i can't see the reason for the two single leg exercises. Please tell me what's the big difference? Also why 2 kinds of calf raises? I mean you must need at least 90 minutes for weightlifting and as far as i know after one hour most athletes tend to overtrain their selfs, and that's bad for muscle gaining. Again, i am not an expert, i am just expressing my opinion. Answer me when you find some time

  • My exercise regimen consists of running everyday and swimming on the weekends after I run. I usually run at 7min./mile pace for 3-6 miles + intervals or stairs (every other day). I'm a girl, so I don't really do upper-body stuff. I do a lot of core stuff, though - right after running. My core workout consists of V-sits (60s X 3), russian twists (100), plank (center AND sides) (120s), and crunches (50 for 5 seconds each). I haven't been in a gym for months, but you don't need to.

  • terrible squats. he goes a quarter of the way down. and his legs show it. chicken legs

  • @boopari Your not suppose to go down any further than he does if u did that would be straining your joints dude hes doing everything right big dawg.

  • @juggernat2442 did you know squatting atg is actually safer for your knees than squatting to or above parallel? the ligaments that protect your knees only activate when your walking, or when your knees are at full flexion (atg). stop stating false facts that your "fit personal trainer" told you

  • @juggernat2442 so all of these powerlifters and bodybuilders doing atg squats, with legs near twice the size of his, as in fact, doing it WRONG? bullshit

  • must you make those annoying psst noises? also what logic is coming in when you do high reps on a compound strength exercise like squat, and low reps on an iso movement like leg extension?

  • Hermanator! I was sceptical about that Smith machine squat where you stick your legs out at 90 degrees, but did it yesterday and was awesome, thank you! Silly question: As I want to put on some mass, is it OK to have a spoonful of philly cheese sweet chilli dip, mixed into my chicken, wholemeal pasta? This would be for lunch.

  • @MarkSkidMcCormick HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA a spoon full of sweet chilli dip.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • @juggernat2442 Oh c'mon man, it's fattening stuff and will probably be more than a spoonful, give me a break here! Hahaha...

  • @juggernat2442 And clearly you can't read properly as I stated it is 'philly cheese'

  • Comment removed

  • your not supposed to used cushioned shoes such as running shoes when doing leg workouts, it takes some of the power away from your squat, just sayin...

  • Im no expert by any means, but on squats that bar is being held WAY too low on scotts back, it should more across the top of the shoulders than where it is.

  • I like your video, your workouts are perfect.

    more you are putting too much weight to you mesmo.e easy to see that this lot to you.

    that good anyway, I've given my positive vote for you.

  • these are all good exercises but i'm pretty sure this guy overtrains like a motherfucker on everything. he must be in the gym for like 2 and a half hours with all this shit

  • @NuclearGuru350 he is not övertraining by any means,...

  • @TheGamingRambos he's doing at least 27 sets, a lot of which are working the same muscles

  • @NuclearGuru350 is it? he looks good and he's pretty damn strong but he certainly ain't no powerlifter, haha

  • @NuclearGuru350 Isen´t it only 24? and it targets 3 BIG muscles... Glutes(butt), hamstrings and quads...

  • @TheGamingRambos well the fact is he's gotta be in the gym for at least 2 hours with all this stuff. you're really supposed to get your workout done in about an hour otherwise it's considered overtraining

  • @NuclearGuru350 It is his living, though.

  • Comment removed

  • @NuclearGuru350 does he look like hes overtraining? lol

  • @Ep1cPvP who knows? Maybe he's at a plateau. He's a fitness model and he's pretty muscular but i definitely wouldn't call him a monster.

  • @NuclearGuru350 wtf ? ahah Who are you for saying that ?!

  • @DjooKer88 just someone who's been working out for a couple years.... no need to be a dick about it. clearly people are agreeing with me

  • @NuclearGuru350 there is no such thing as over training. but there is something called not eating enough. people just like to call not eating enough "overtraining"

  • @boopari sounds like some broscience to me.

  • @NuclearGuru350 "theres no such thing as over training, just under eating" - Jay Cutler

  • @boopari not true. i overtrainned and haven't been able to lift weights for 5 monthes now. i was eating plenty.

  • @NuclearGuru350 it should be only like an hr to 1.5 hrs

  • @NuclearGuru350 Why do Squats and hack squats on same day?

  • @NuclearGuru350 would be true if he wasn't a pro but he's been working out for many years so his body has adapted to these intense workout routines. if a noob tries this they will overtrain like i did. i did alot of scotts workouts. for example- 15 sets for chest and doing drop sets and same for back, legs. i haven't been able to workout for 5 monthes, still can't even do pushups. i don't blame scott though, i blame myself for being ignorant.

  • @outdoorsman715 you should blame him imo, he should warn you from the beginning this is not for beginners at all...

  • @TimeDefeater yea your probably right.

  • @NuclearGuru350 in a video he said he usually goes for an hour and a half. lol he must have like THE meal plan of the gods. eating titans and what not.

  • @thalion3410 haha yeah i could see that

  • Those calf raises look like I would snap my ankle bending them like that haha

  • You lost your shirt?..

  • Lol who cares if his squats are ugly. He probably looks better than you.

  • those squats are ugly as hell...if this stance allows him to go "deeper" i dont want to see his normal stance..
