t care what you have planned for your next leg workout, but you better make room for what I-m going to show you in this important leg training video. Here, I-m going to reveal to you the number one thing you need to do every single time you workout your legs. Some may have given you alternative advice, and I-m going to tell you that what you have been given is just bad advice. For instance, if you were told that all you ever need to do is squat, you have been given bad training advice. Likely, the person telling you this has never trained an athlete and doesn-t understand that the extent of leg training encompasses more than just the quads and hamstrings. The muscles of the hips are some of the most underutilized and undertrained areas on the body and can only be targeted with multiplanar movements and exercises. The squat is a bilateral, sagittal plane movement. If all you ever do is squat then you are not training your legs and hips in the transverse and frontal planes. Basically, you are avoiding two of the three dimensions in space. Not good if you ever plan to call yourself an elite level athlete. Here I show you why incorporating single leg training is not an option but a requirement of a complete leg training plan. Now, am I bashing on the squat? Not at all. The squat is the single most important leg and hip movement that you can do and should form the basis or foundation of your leg workouts. That said, as I pointed out, this is a sagittal plane exercise that has some shortcomings that need to be addressed with additional single leg exercises. One of the key benefits to single leg exercises like the Bulgarian Split Squats and multi-directional lunges are that they not only train you to be strong on each leg individually but they help to reveal strength imbalances between sides. Intervening early when a strength imbalance is detected is one of the fastest ways to fix the problem and the best way to prevent this from resulting in a lower body injury that keeps you away from the gym for too long. You will see that no matter which athlete I train, at some point in a given leg workout we are going to be doing single leg exercises and training. It can either be explosive or controlled. The bottom line is, not an athlete gets out of the gym without first completing at least one of these leg exercise options in their leg workout. Here I showcase Pittsburgh Steeler wider receiver Antonio Brown and the single leg movements that he performs to be the best at his position in the league. If you are looking for a complete training program and plan that is the same one followed by today-s top pro athletes, head to and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System. Every workout and meal is laid out step by step so that there is no guesswork involved. Simply start today and I-ll coach you through every workout and make sure you make no mistakes

I love single leg workout especially walking lunges I-ve always had hip problems and they solve a lot of problems and I like watching people complain and cringe when I do them I don-t go real heavy I just go to failure and do the bench lunge also y-all do absolutely love them and have gotten more benefits and growth from them absolutely spot on Jeff

I agree with Jeff. After focusing purely on compound leg exercises (deadlifts and squats) and suffered some injuries due to some body imbalance, I learnt to incorporate more single leg exercises to my routine. Next step is working more planes of motion and explosive moves. Very interesting concept-

When I was young I did a lot of swimming, running, sprinting, pushups. When in college I could do 10 press ups before most could do one. Top % swimmer. Sprinting 10. 5sec for 100m. No coaching by anybody. Could of been faster with a coach like you? Good vid.

I did my masters thesis study on unilateral vs bilateral squat training on the effects of sprinting, double leg strength, single leg strength, single leg jump, and double leg jump. The unilateral training group had better improvements across the board.

I'm stronger and more injury-free than I've ever been after taking all of Jeff's advice! Unfortunately I recently got fired from my job. I tried to tell my boss that non-negotiable sounded more important than 'mandatory meetings'. He didn't agree.

I watch you plenty and appreciate the explanations and demos. No problem if you prefer a focus on men and training, but wondering if women should do anything differently. Our joint angles (hips, shoulders maybe) are often different.

Once again thanks for your advice. I always shy away from this type of leg work and I feel like my hips pay for it. I know when I include abduction and other side to side movements I have way less pain in that area. Take care.

Workout just for having big muscles is the most ridiculous things on earth. If you have big muscles and can-t play sport, you are definitely the biggest douch in town. Thanks Jeff for your great advices and energy.

His form on Bulgarian split squat at 1: 44 is terrible! Upper body should remain vertical, with eyes forward, hips drop straight down and return straight up. If you can-t do that, then you-re using too much weight

I was experiencing lower back pain for months. Pretty bad from sitting and then moving and house repair. I did the exercises you recommended. In one day I am pain free! Thank you so much for your help!
