Response & Calling Out EricKanevskiy and his "6 month challenge" - Pics Inside

It's still primarily a quad movement.

I would have to disagree, I have never felt low bar squats in my quads, switch it to high bar and I feel it 100% more.

You can't disagree with biomechanics.

Are you high?? You've obviously never done a heavy set of 10 low bar back squats and felt the excruciating burn in your hammies.

[Da1111]

You can't disagree with biomechanics.

Surely the biomechanics are going to be different for different people depending on their proportions?

No. Bastardizing a quad exercise to try to target your hamstrings makes absolutely no sense.

What I mean is this;



There will be different amounts of hamstring use in those two squats.

[rasse226]

I have actually never really gotten sore quads from low-bar squats, but my hams are usually sore as fuaark

Soreness doesn't mean anything.

soreness is a indicator that your muscle fibres have 'torn'..

Soreness doesn't mean anything.

Soreness can be a useful indicator of whether or not your are hitting your target muscles doe...

[EricKanevskiy]

No, it's not.

[noarmsjustlegs]

I personally agree with kanevsky. (Srs). Soreness doesn't really mean anything. Soreness is just a factor an indicator that your muscles haven't adapted.

[Da1111]

No, it's not.

Please respond to my post ^^^^^.

The one with the picture, you must have missed it.

Is this real life? Noarmsjustlegs is actually spot on. Once you adapt to a high frequency split, you'll notice that your muscles will recover much faster and you'll almost never be sore.

It's easier for some people to activate their quads but squats are a quad-dominant exercise for everybody.

Are you ****ing serious Eric, this is why people hate you. They want to target hamstrings by using a variation of the squats, its not to "bastardize" the quad excercise its to ****ing hit their hamstrings. Its similar to other excercise variations targeting different muscles. Pretty sure you used modifications, variations, etc of the original excercise, you sounded like a contradicting moron stating that the quoted above.

[HoneyBadger3]

Anything that would make me incorrect doesn't mean anything.

You have to be extremely uneducated if you believe that soreness means anything.

I don't believe it's an indicator of growth, however, muscles don't just randomly get sore for no reason. If its sore, you used it.

A quad-dominant exercise should not be the only hamstring work you do. This logic really makes no sense.

[EricKanevskiy]

Most people stop getting sore altogether once they adapt to a high frequency split.

Ever heard of Close grip bench press instead of regular distances or wide grip bench press? Same ****ing concept you moron. Targetting particular muscles because well thats the muscles you want to ****ing target you morn.

And towards your "The logic makes no sense"

They do it because they want to target those muscles more. Maybe they're lacking in that area and they want to stimulate it more? They could do isolations but well, what puts more stimulation than 225 on what your targetting

[noarmsjustlegs]

For most people, once they adapt to a high frequency routine, they stop getting sore altogether.

This is true, i'd do cycling then i'd do legs with higher frequency then I stopped getting sore.

[HoneyBadger3]

Completely irrelevant comment altogether. We're talking about hamstring soreness from low-bar back squats. Not adaptation to training frequency. Stay on topic.

I allways thought squats where a primary movement for quads and glutes, and deads were a primary movement for hamstrings and glutes.. hmmm...

Hamstring curls and straight legged deadlifts put far more tension on the hamstrings than squats.

More weight =/= more tension

Again, you need to get over that stupid mindset.

Eric do you feel sad when you think about the fact that the majority of this forum dislikes you?

No. Doesn't bother me much to be honest considering the collective intelligence of the forum.
