What you see in the mirror only tells part of the story. Bodybuilder Branch Warren has the quick, intense protocol your leg day is lacking. Tack it onto your quad work and prepare to be humbled! ► Shop Kaged Muscle Supplements: https://bbcom.me/2WLrHic ► 7-Day Free Trial to All Access: https://bbcom.me/2WQBPXc | Branch Warren's Old School Hamstring & Calves Workout | 1. Lying Leg Curls: 2 sets, 12-15 reps (double dropset after each set) 2. Seated Leg Curl: 12-15 reps (double dropset after each set) 3. Standing Calf Raises: 12-15 reps (double dropset after each set) Branch Warren wants to tell you something you may not want to hear: You're only as "built" as your calves and hamstrings. That may sound like the sort of physique critique that's only meant for elite pros, but this bodybuilding legend and Kaged Muscle athlete wants every lifter, everywhere, to hear it. It's a window into why he has been a successful bodybuilder, as well as a successful businessman, since his teens. Here's the thing: In lifting, and in life, most of us are damn good at doing what we're already strong at. And we're pretty terrible at bringing the same intensity where we're lacking. In other words, you may have tried every intensity booster and novel rep scheme in the book for your quads, but what about for your hamstrings? It's probably the same old 3-4 sets of 10-15 reps, stop once you feel a slight burning feeling, and hop right off the machine. Do the same thing for your calves—maybe—and go home. According to Branch, that's what's holding back your leg training—and even why your back hurts. "Having strong hamstrings, if you're doing squats or leg press, it's going to help you stabilize the movement and just make you stronger and better," he explains. "If your hamstrings are weak, there's a greater chance you're going to hurt your lower back. The back, abs, and hamstrings all play in conjunction with one another. Not only will you look better, but you'll be stronger and more balanced overall." Here's everything you need to know to add depth to your training and definition to your lower body. | Lying Leg Curl | Before you reach your working weight, do a couple of light warm-up sets of around 15-20 reps. It's OK if you don't count the reps. Just go until you feel a good pump, but not until you hit failure. Then, do a set with the heaviest weight you can handle for around 12-15 reps. Branch likes the lying leg curl first because he can go heavier, and because the positioning and the handles allow him to really explode into each rep. Don't sell yourself short here. | Seated Leg Curl | Start off again with a couple of light warm-up sets. Then it's time for the same battle you just finished: a working set, followed by two dropsets. But this time around, it's all about tempo and control. "The way I do seated leg curls is, like, I keep my arms across my chest and then I come down and squeeze," Branch explains. "Your leg biceps are just like your arm biceps. So it's like doing a concentration curl for your biceps. You come up, and then you squeeze. Down, slow up, and then you squeeze. You get as much blood in there as you can, make it cramp, and get that deep-down burn. I feel it way better than when I just go heavy." | Standing Calf Raise | "For years, I didn't train calves, and they were my best body part," Branch says. "But now that I'm retired, I like to train. So I'm working some calves back into the mix just because I like doing it." Training calves for fun—that says it all, doesn't it? Take the same approach here as you do for hammies: One heavy set with a full stretch and contraction on each rep, followed by two drops. Do it again if you're brave—or just masochistic. Then limp to the showers and slam your post-workout protein. | Kaged Muscle Supplements | ► Amino Synergy: https://bbcom.me/2WUoQ6V ► Pre-Kaged: https://bbcom.me/2WSS6uM ► In-Kaged: https://bbcom.me/2WHKf2V ► Re-Kaged: https://bbcom.me/2WNJm97 ► Clean Burn: https://bbcom.me/2WPgPzV ► CreaClear: https://bbcom.me/2WPTMoy ► Ferodrox: https://bbcom.me/2WP3tno ► Hydra-Charge: https://bbcom.me/2WObNDQ ► Kasein Protein: https://bbcom.me/2WOc4qm ► MicroPure Whey Protein Isolate: https://bbcom.me/2WLcs8R | Follow Kaged Muscle | ► YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/kagedmuscle ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kagedmusclesupps/ ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kagedmusclesupplements/ ]]> Sat 01 Jun 2019 05:19:49 +0200 https://www.nutra-365.com/videos/186/old-school-hamstring-calves-workout-ifbb-pro-branch-warren/ https://www.nutra-365.com/videos/468/preston-noble-fitness-360/

It would be a blessing if we could all have a pair like Preston Noble. Then we'd all drop jaws just by wearing shorts. Then we could all leap in the air so high we'd nearly levitate. When Preston returns to earth, he clobbers weight in the gym and adheres to an honest eating philosophy based on sound science and his mother's good example. He's studying to become a physical therapist. This amateur bodybuilder was a finalist for our 2012 BodySpace Spokesmodel Search, and he's only been in serious bodybuilding mode for about a year. Even before he started in the industry, this Arizona native was taking great care of his body. ========================================­===== | Recommended Supplements | Hydra 6 Protein ► http://bbcom.me/1YuL6AE - 50% Whey Isolate -50% Micellar Casein - 24g of Protein to Help Prevent Muscle Breakdown and Provides Great Gains in Lean Muscle Thermo Detonator Fat Burner ► http://bbcom.me/1YuvwVG - Fat Loss Capsule Originally Designed for the Military* - Supports Appetite Control, Controlled Sustained Energy, Metabolized Body Fat, and an Increased Alertness and Mental Focus* Defend BCAA ► http://bbcom.me/1YuuNUl - High Dose Micronized BCAA To Support Recovery* ========================================­===== | Bodybuilding.com | Fitness Apps ► http://bbcom.me/1YuvyNp Sales & Specials ► http://bbcom.me/1Yuv75D Fitness Articles ► http://bbcom.me/1YuwIZ2 #1 Online Supplement Store ► http://bbcom.me/1YuvUn2 Free Fitness Plans ► http://bbcom.me/1YuvrkL #1 Women's Fitness Site ► http://bbcom.me/1YuvnBz ========================================­===== | Follow Us | YouTube ► http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 Facebook ► http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr Instagram ► http://bit.ly/1LzBxab Twitter ► http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL Google+ ► http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu Pinterest ► http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 Spotify ► http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.

Do they grow according to genetics or training stimulus? And if training does make all the difference, what kind of training are we talking about? Heavy weight for low reps, or lighter weight for high reps? Power-walking soccer moms would sport monster calves if repetitive motion were the key. You need to hit 'em hard. Arnold, who ruined the elastic in his fair share of tube socks in the 70s, put it this way: "Every day you walk around. When you walk you are using your calves. You are pushing at least your body weight every time you take a step. So, when you go to the gym and work out your calves with light weight, are you really stressing your muscles?" Arnold put his calves through the ringer. He would perform all types of calf raises until he couldn't fully extend the muscle. Then, he would perform little bursts until the muscle finally couldn't move or extend, rendering his foot practically useless at the time after training. This method contributed to him becoming arguably the greatest bodybuilder of all time. I take a similarly aggressive approach to raising calves. Your calves will not grow unless you absolutely DESTROY them! So I'm going to ask you to tack 10-to-12 sets of calf work onto the end of 4 or 5 workouts a week. (If that's too many sets at first, start at 5 and then build up to 12.) Each set should be 30 reps: 10 reps with toes pointed out, 10 reps with toes pointed in, 10 reps with toes pointed forward. No matter what calf move you're doing, switch it up like this. The calves need this smack-down. Their strength should be commensurate with the strength of your quads and hamstrings. A weak link between your bigger legs muscles and the ground will limit performance and perhaps cause injury. | Bodybuilding.com Signature Supplements & Clothing | ► Signature 100% Whey Isolate: https://bbcom.me/2l56ouo ► Signature 100% Whey Protein: https://bbcom.me/2mLG1dl ► Signature Amino Plus Energy: https://bbcom.me/2l6v45L ► Signature BCAA: https://bbcom.me/2l6eraj ► Signature Casein: https://bbcom.me/2mDShwI ► Signature Creatine Monohydrate: https://bbcom.me/2mKGlsM ► Signature Pre Workout: https://bbcom.me/2mJlW7s ► Signature Protein Crunch Bar: https://bbcom.me/2mGngIx ► Signature Test Booster: https://bbcom.me/2mDSGze ► Bodybuilding.com Clothing: http://bbcom.me/2Eq7aHB ========================================­===== | Follow Us | ► Twitch: http://bit.ly/2q1dttE ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 ► Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr ► Instagram: http://bit.ly/1LzBxab ► Twitter: http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL ► Google+: http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu ► Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 ► Spotify: http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.
