Still, with coaches like Nippard spicing things up, we could learn to love leg day a little more by honing our technique and earning some extra gains in the process. Here, the exercise and nutrition scientist shares five sensational tips with his Instagram followers, to make those leg days a little less laborious.<\/p>\n<h2>Jeff Nippard\u2019s Expert Tips For Leg Day Exercises<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Hack Squats<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cKeep your feet slightly back and let your knees travel forward,\u201d explains the Canadian coach. \u201cThis increases knee flexion range of motion and forces your quads to work harder. Don\u2019t be afraid of knees over toes,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s perfectly safe, as long as you\u2019re controlling the load.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Romanian Deadlifts<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cOn Romanian deadlifts, rather than shifting your weight to your heels, keep it centered over the middle of your foot,\u201d offered Nippard along with a further tip for his 2.8 million IG followers. \u201cRemember, the bar should move straight up and straight down. This keeps tension on your hamstrings and prevents your lower back from taking over.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>3. Lunges<\/h3>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re performing lunges with simply your bodyweight or the additional load of dumbbells, \u201cTake longer strides,\u201d advised this exercise guru. \u201cAnd lean forward on each rep,\u201d he continued. \u201cThis combination increases the stretch on your glutes and forces them to work harder as you extend your hips.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>4. Leg Extensions<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cOn leg extensions, pull up on the handles, hard, to keep your glutes locked into the seat,\u201d said Nippard. \u201cIf your hips are popping up and down, you\u2019re losing precious quad tension.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>5. Lying Leg Curls<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cPress your hips into the pad, as you curl,\u201d explained the coach. \u201cThen, on your last set, take it a step further with lengthened partials.\u201d The \u2018long length partial\u2019 technique involves repeating half a rep at the most stressed point, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/features\/feature-news\/study-shows-using-partial-and-full-reps-is-a-winning-combination\/\">where the muscles are most lengthened<\/a>. \u201cSqueezing every last (half) rep out of your hamstrings,\u201d he encourages.<\/p>\n<p>Why not make a leg day session out of these 5 exercises? By performing 3 sets of 8 to 10 reps, you will be firmly in the muscle building range of hypotrophy. And, by adding Nippard\u2019s logical tips, you could leverage those legs for further gains.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jeffnippard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">To follow Jeff Nippard on Instagram, click here.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/workouts\/leg-exercises\/5-expert-leg-day-tips-from-jeff-nippard-to-build-bigger-stronger-legs\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Natural powerlifter and bodybuilder Jeff Nippard is all about evidence-backed technique so be sure to lean into these 5 simple leg day tips that will breathe new life into leg day.
