some more leg stuff

Beast. I think this video also leads insight on lifting belts. It looks to me that you wear a tapered belt...

Great video and those hacks looked like a right grinder set.

Just out of interest shelby have you ever tried Olympic weightlifting shoes for squats. I've been using them recently and they have been brilliant for stability.

How tall is the man in the white t shirt Jesus Christ

Shelby,
It looks like you are wearing the convict sleeves. Are they regular or 2 ply?

Correct - tapered belt.

I haven't tried them, I'll look into it. I have a great pair of Nikes that I wear for leg and calf training... very thick sole and very stable. Thanks!

2-ply. I don't think they make them anymore though.

Jesus, that leg workout would cripple me, literally lol.

I do one heavy set for squats after a couple warmups and I'm sore for days...

hey mr starnes. Why no use of isolation movements such as quad extesnions or ham adductions? also, the chains, is this to keep weight over center of gravity? and thoughts on using chains with barbell lunges, changing force over distance to stress the muscle at correct time (like with squats). btw, nice to see another bodybuiler with glasses

thanks for your time!

Great vid and helluva workout (of course). Thanks for sharing, Shelby.

I'm interested in the shoes. What kind of Nikes are they?...

Good if it works for you though...

We do leg extensions and the adductor machine pretty often, just not in this workout. The chains were per John Meadows suggestion... they do seem to give a different feel as compared to dumbbells. As for chains on barbell lunges, I doubt that would work very well.

I got them a little over a year ago on the Nike site, but I can't find them on there anymore. Here's a pic

Yes I do it more for quad stimulation but it still hits the hams and glutes hard too.
John Meadows squats to about the same depth and if you've ever seen his legs, they are nothing to question. We do plenty of other work for glutes and hams too.
