Crush your legs at home or the gym with our workouts
Doing leg workouts at home can sometimes be difficult if you don’t have heavy enough weights to overload your legs. Most decide to just do bodyweight leg exercises or run to train their legs in these cases. In this video, I show you that is a mistake by giving you a home leg workout weapon that can become the perfect leg exercise for you.
The advantages of this leg exercise are that you can perform them either one or two legs at a time. When you do this as a single leg exercise, you have the ability to overload your quads, glutes and hamstrings with less weight. All you need is an Olympic bar and a corner of the room that you can anchor one end of the bar in.
Essentially, this home leg exercise is a modified version of the hack squat. We know that the hack squat machine at the gym allows you to target your quads a bit more without having to worry about lower back pain often times associated with squatting. The problem with this legs exercise however is that you tend to eliminate the contribution of the glute muscles and therefore make the exercise less effective.
In the home leg exercise shown here, that is not the case. You can get a strong contraction of the gluteus by virtue of the position of the muscles at the top of the movement.
Fore more creative leg exercises and workouts that will help you add size to your legs while getting them strong either at home or the gym, be sure to head to and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System.

Great tip I've been looking for this! Thanks a lot. So what do you do for a leg press if you dont have a leg press machine?
SHOW SOME COMPASSION GUYS ON THE CAMERAMAN & CAMERA WORK. I know it could have been better, but the guy handling the camera is just a normal individual like all of us. He is not a professionally qualified or trained CINEMATOGRAPHER. Of course the guy in front of the camera jeff is an expert in his craft. I am a little disappointed with Jeff because, once he knew after seeing that this particular video was not good in terms of the things in focus onscreen, then probably he should & could have done it – redone it once more. ANYWAYS, THE BIGGEST ROOM ON THIS PLANET, IS THE ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT !👍
for real! i should be using those for my legs workouts
this exercise is awsome
i work out at home and dont have many options for working out legs since i dont have a squat rack
i usually do belt squats (slighty elevated) in a german volume training style (10 sets of 10) since iam limited with the amount of weight i can put on the belt
but this exercise looks like a good alternative to the belt squats
The one leg will super activate and super pump your glutes. Have not tried this, but Jeff demonstrates it very well.
……but I don't have a corner in my room.
Camera man sucks!
Shitty video Jeff! Can't even see ur legs especially in one legged
Jeff all the rooms in my house are cylinders. I don't have a squat rack. Do I still have to hit legs?
Landmines are my favorite. Anytime my sciatica Flair's up, i switch to landmine leg exercises and all is good
What a great tip!!! Thank you so much for sharing it!!! I am gonna try right now!

Viewers prefer no leg days it seems
Is there a landmine apparatus I could buy ? Bc it takes a long bar to do this and I don’t have that –
Thanks Jeff (& Jessy) you've done more for my body than you know.
Cheer's.
I could squat 4 plates with this technique but how am I supposed to load the bar on my shoulder first?
Yet again this man wins
thank you jeff
Katie Ripley: "I don't like this as much because he has his shirt on."
just now seeing this video, good alternative leg exercise👍👍
I wanted to see feet distance angle of feet pointed out or straight good training idea but needs bit more info mate
Cameraman/Jesse? Please zoom out so we can see the leg movement from start to finish of the excercise!!
will try this with landmine.
Will this work with heavy weights? Placing around 4×45 lbs plates?
What about if you turn facing the barbell. Seems like a much more natural alternative to the back squat
Corona?
before jeff found his pants and lost his shirt
Fire the camera dude ASAP.
I cannot survive without ATHLEAN X
But who has an Olympic bar at home and no rack?
I have only a bar and some plates no rack…i clean it up to my shoulders and do front squats….thats ok right?
anyone watching this in 2020:(
Please make more like this
just excellent..got an great idea for home leg workout during this lock down
Squats no good for me yet ..with my head injures..makes me unbalanced and very dizzy so I go old school again //landmines they always work well for me
Is there angel di mario on the poster behind him
Could we do this facing the bar ??
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Thankyou, regular squats activate my shoulders and trapezius too much, this might solve thay
I just got a barbell in my home. Pumped to have found this
Question: I have a regular barbell, not an Olympic bar. Can I do similar exercises witha regular barbell?
who’s watching this in 2021
that is really bad camera action
Great as always Jeff but who the heck was working the camera back then?
Very bad camera. didn't get the right position
Believe me the camera man is gonna be ripppppedddd
Fantastic Exellent Workout the best👏😀
