There's a lot of learning that goes into flexible dieting. Bodybuilder Julian Smith has spent years dialing it in, and these are his crucial lessons for helping you eat right with as little stress as possible. ► 30 Days To Your Best Arms with Julian Smith: https://bbcom.me/2ypa4uu ► Shop Bodybuilding Signature Supplements: https://bbcom.me/2ypaMIa ► All Access 7-Day Free Trial: https://bbcom.me/2ynIRs8 | More Videos | ► Julian Smith Playlist: http://bit.ly/2qSaoNX For decades, the number of calories you ate in a day was the end of the story. Stay in a deficit, and you'd supposedly lose weight. Slip into caloric excess, and you'd gain weight. That approach worked for some people, but for others, it proved limiting, miserable, and ultimately disastrous. And then someone finally asked the question: "What if the calorie is only the beginning of the story?" In reaction, a dietary approach called IIFYM, or "if it fits your macros," has taken the fitness world by storm. Also known as "flexible dieting," it turns old-school, restriction-based dieting on its head by focusing instead on monitoring individual macronutrient intake. As long as you hit certain numbers, there's theoretically no limitation on what foods you can use to meet them. Is it perfect and foolproof? Of course not. Though the basic idea of flexible dieting may seem simple, making IIFYM work as a lifestyle requires an advanced understanding of some key nutritional principles, because it can definitely be done wrong! But done right, it just might be the thing to help you stick with your plan more consistently than other approaches.

In this timeless pre-exhaust lower-body workout, you'll frontload the volume so you can get the most out of some hard squats at the end. Build your legs the old-school way at Muscle Beach. ► Shop Shop Muscle Beach Nutrition Supplements: https://bbcom.me/2E2lKZz ► All Access 7-Day Free Trial: https://bbcom.me/2E09Or9 When you visit a historic, iconic gym like Muscle Beach Venice, in California, it can be tempting to simply stand along the sidelines and watch. At this gym, unlike anywhere else in the world, athletes are onstage 365 days a year, many doing crazy stunts on the pull-up bars or tossing around weights to earn applause from bystanders. But on the flipside, the great physiques of Muscle Beach's past were forged through hard work, and hard workouts, on the simple machines and free weights along the boardwalk. And the best tribute you can give to bodybuilding history is to fearlessly step up and get under the bar yourself. That's the route that Gavin Matthews, a Muscle Beach Nutrition athlete, takes on his high-volume leg day. There's nothing exotic in this workout. It's all time-tested movements like the leg press, hack squat, lunge, and squat, in a classic pre-exhaust model. You won't need more than 45-50 minutes to knock the whole thing out if you keep the rest periods short, but it'll be the most intense 45 minutes of your week. Don't expect anyone to clap when you finish that last set of squats with a weight far below your max. But expect to feel like you've accomplished something, and like walking to the locker room is a serious challenge. | The Muscle Beach Leg Workout | 1. Leg Press: 4 sets, 20 reps 2. Hack Squat: 4 sets, 15 reps 3. Dumbbell Walking Lunge: 4 sets, 15 reps 4. Giant Set a. Stiff-Legged Dumbbell Deadlift: 4 sets, 10 reps b. Dumbbell Sumo Squat: 4 sets, 15 reps 5. Barbell Squats: 3 sets, to failure | Leg Press | "This is going to warm up all of our joints, our hips, our knees, going to get blood flow to the glutes, the hamstrings, and the quads," Matthews says. But don't just toss on a plate and go to town for 20 reps. Matthews has a very specific protocol in mind. Start by doing 5 reps with your feet wide on the platform and a slow, controlled pace of 3-second negatives and 3-second concentric contractions. Then, immediately move your feet to a neutral, hip-width stance and do another 5 reps focusing on 5-second negatives with explosive concentrics. Then, move your feet to the middle of the platform, in a narrow stance, and do the last 10 reps, focusing on keeping the muscle contracted the whole time. This is pure time under tension, so no locking out those knees! Add weight each set if you can, and rest for no more than a minute between sets. "Keep fighting through it and pump all that blood into that muscle," Matthews says. "That way, it'll warm you up for the next exercise." | Hack Squat | Unlike the leg press, where you were alternating tempos and stances, you'll just hit your reps here with perfect, identical form. "Keep a neutral to narrow stance, focusing more on pressing through the midline of our toes down to our heels, pushing all through our quads to pump them up," Matthews says. "Push through the ball of the foot. Keep the chest out and the back flat on the pad. Focus all your attention with the machine just on the muscle you're working." As they get fatigued, many lifters find they end up on their tippy-toes toward the end of their sets on the hack squat, but Matthews says to focus on staying flat-footed. If these burn your quads like crazy, you're on the right track. | Muscle Beach Nutrition Supplements | ► CRTN-3: https://bbcom.me/2E0a1dV ► 100% All-Pro: https://bbcom.me/2E0aehd ► Pre-Train: https://bbcom.me/2DYPYfG ► Premium Shaker: https://bbcom.me/2E24VxP ► Fill-N-Go Funnel: https://bbcom.me/2E3VbD5 ========================================­===== | 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.

You've spent hours doing curls, now it's time to build triceps to match. "Quad Guy" Julian Smith shows you everything you need to effectively target your triceps for definition and growth! ► Get the Full Sets & Reps for this Workout: https://bbcom.me/2REf9aZ ► BodyFit Training Programs: https://bbcom.me/2NMnB74 ► Shop Bodybuilding Signature Supplements: https://bbcom.me/2TJki4r ► Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2DK5lGD Team Optimum Nutrition athlete Julian Smith has a killer triceps workout to round out your T-shirt game and bring the back of your arms up to speed. A guy known for his insane quad sweeps and ability to build well-defined muscle all over, Smith is one guy to listen to for muscle-building tips. "This workout covers all the exercises I like doing for triceps," explains Smith. "During the workout, make sure your muscles are doing all of the work, not just moving as much weight as possible." Smith is a big fan of slow and controlled negatives and getting as much out of every exercise as possible. Take this triceps workout for a spin and you'll see—this is one sleeve-splitting workout you'll want to keep! | Wide-Grip Skullcrushers | "Going wide with your elbows tucked in puts the emphasis on the long head of the triceps," Smith explains. "The long head is a part of the muscle most people neglect." With a compound movement like skullcrushers, the tendency is to go fast and explosive, but, according to Smith, that may not be the best way to build muscle. Keep your reps slow and controlled, making sure you have good form the entire time. Make sure you're in control of the weight and not letting the weight control you. | Wide-Grip Triceps Push-Down | Go wide on the grip for the push-down to keep the emphasis in the long head of the triceps. Keep your elbows tucked in, and pause slightly at the bottom during the full contraction to really make those triceps burn. "When you do extensions like this on a cable, you're going to be able to put the full tension of the weight in the muscle at the bottom of each rep," says Smith. Extending the time under tension in this way helps build muscle and, as fans of Smith know, it doesn't require super-heavy weight to be effective. "I like to slow down and get the most out of each exercise," says Smith. "It's about slowing things down, not really focusing on how much weight you're doing, but instead paying attention to the full contraction and the full negative." | Dumbbell Overhead Extension | For the overhead extension, you're still going slow and controlled, but with explosive positives. Focus on form, no matter what. "One thing to focus on with this exercise is actually getting your triceps to do the work," says Smith. "I know a lot of people who just go through the motion and feel the burn somewhere else—in their traps or their rear delts." Whichever muscle you're working on should be the only muscle that burns because it should be doing all of the work. As you're performing each of these exercises, focus on the triceps. Focus on the stretch as you bend your elbows back each time and the contraction in the triceps as you extend. | Bodyweight Triceps Extensions | Just like push-ups and pull-ups, Smith prefers to work to failure on this exercise since it's bodyweight work. This movement is going to be different for everyone since we're all built a little differently—some of us have longer length in our arms compared to others. "You want to tinker with the form to make sure you're in a position that's going to work best for you," suggests Smith. Get into a 90-degree angle with your arms when you're in the starting position on the floor, and as you press up, make sure you're contracting with the triceps. You might be a little too far back if you're feeling too much pressure in the shoulders or the wrists," says Smith, "When you have perfect form, you'll only feel it in the triceps." If you can't do a full bodyweight triceps extension, drop your knees down to the floor. This will take a big load off your arms and allow you to work your way up to the more advanced version of the exercise. Work on form first, and make sure you're getting the best contraction possible. ========================================­===== | 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.

From old-school sissy squats to muscle-isolating contraction exercises, Smith has the completely balanced leg workout you can take to any gym. | Sissy Squat | Smith starts his leg workout with—you guessed it—quads. As he discussed in his previous article on slow negatives, Smith loves the Smith machine because it allows him to get into more intense quad- or glute-focused positions beyond what a normal barbell can do. "Make sure you are fully warmed up before performing this movement," Smith cautions. "This is as old-school as it gets when it comes to quad training." The Smith machine sissy squat is pure isolation for the quads. If you look at the position your legs are in at the bottom of the movement, the full stretch resembles the leg extension. In addition to completing a good warm-up, Smith recommends strict adherence to proper form. To target your quads, keep your upper leg and torso in line as you lower your body. If you're not comfortable performing this movement on a bench, like Smith does, stand on a small box or step to start until you grow more comfortable. Keep your hips forward throughout the movement so when you come up, you directly work your quads. Perform four sets to failure, focusing on form and technique the entire time. | Close-Stance Barbell Squat | The barbell squat is a classic total-leg exercise, but Smith shifts it to a quad-dominant movement by moving his feet close together and focusing on contracting the quads as he lifts the bar. "Not a lot of people have the range of motion or the flexibility to do something like this," Smith explains, "so just make sure you have good form. Start out light before you get into the heavier sets." If you're wondering how this guy with chiseled quad sweeps and impressive hamstrings became so flexible, you're not alone. "A lot of people ask about my mobility training and how I became so flexible," says Smith. "Well, throughout my workout I sit in the full extension of the sissy squat, stretching my quads while I rest. It keeps me fresh for what I'm about to do and prepares my body for the exercise." Smith's mobility certainly pays off in the close-stance barbell squat. He recommends 4 sets of 6-8 reps for this exercise, stretching for 1-2 minutes in between each set. | Seated Quad Contraction | It may not be a flashy exercise, but if there's one technique that sets this "Quad Guy" apart from the competition, it's his use of flexing and contracting to build and sculpt muscles. The seated quad contraction is exactly that: sitting down and squeezing your quads as hard as you can for 10 seconds at a time. Smith points out this is not the same as locking your legs out, because that would put too much pressure on your joints. "It's the same concept as flexing your arm, but in your quads," explains Smith. Perform 4 sets of 4 reps, holding each rep for 10 full seconds of contraction. Do this right and your quads will burn unlike anything you've ever felt before. No wonder he's known for his legs! ========================================­===== | 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.
