💪 This video is the first episode of a series on full-body workouts for muscle growth.
🏋️♂️ Each workout in the series focuses on a specific body part, starting with the legs.
🔥 The workout includes a warm-up routine, squats at 80% of 1 rep max, and avoiding going to failure to prevent negative effects on future training.
🏋️ Squats activate a lot of muscle mass and should be performed with perfect technique to avoid interfering with other exercises.
💪 Squat depth should be at least parallel for hypertrophy, but very shallow squats are not effective.
🦵 Limited hip or ankle mobility can be addressed with specific mobility drills, but settling for a parallel squat is a good option.
Proper squat technique involves setting a wide stance and screwing feet into the floor for stability.
A weekly undulating progression is used for squats, alternating between heavy and light weeks.
After squats, an upper body movement is done to allow the lower body to recover.
⚡️ The incline press activates the upper chest and deltoids, especially with a wider grip.
💪 Using free weights for dumbbell presses engages the lateral delts more than a machine press.
🦵 The lying leg curl effectively targets the hamstrings after the previous exercises.
To target all four heads of the hamstrings, perform knee flexion-based movements like leg curls or glute ham raises.
When doing a high-frequency full-body workout, sequence exercises strategically to avoid interfering with planned workouts.
In a high-frequency full-body split, focus on one or two highly demanding movements per day to optimize recovery.
💪 Prioritizing back workouts with alternating vertical and horizontal pulls.
🔥 Using an advanced intensity technique for bicep curls to stimulate more muscle fibers.
🏋️♂️ Incorporating hanging leg raises for a complete ab routine.
💪 To maximize development of the abs, it's important to hit them directly as squats don't activate the rectus abdominis or external obliques much.
⏲️ If pressed for time, you can run each pair of exercises as supersets, alternating sets of squats with incline dumbbell press.
🏋️ The new high-frequency full-body program for muscle growth is recommended for intermediate to advanced lifters, while beginners should start with the fundamentals program.
💪 The video discusses the most effective full body workout for muscle growth.
🏋️♂️ It emphasizes the importance of compound exercises in stimulating muscle growth.
⏱️ The video suggests performing the workout routine three times a week for optimal results.
