how to get very strong legs w/o deadlifts or squats?

Adjust your tempo for time under tension (3 seconds to lower, pulsing at the bottom, etc) or the leg press machine. Should still be able to do dumbbell Romanian deadlifts - try different stances - stiff leg, sumo, etc. Again, play with the tempo. Curtsy lunges, reverse lunges, walking lunges, all help build definition in the hamstrings and quads. The hamstring curl machine is also doable.

That’s not going to build muscle in their legs


Joe Rogan spoke about this - Yoga will reveal any weakness very early. Sure size comes from lifting but the minor muscles, flexibility, and overall balance will not be tested by lifting.

I don't think lifting only is the answer - I think you can rotate to make it functional. I see guys with huge quads on the stair climber they are hunched down with really bad form. Take the pain and humility and practice upright stairs. I think all together work with yoga work really well.


Do not EVER take exercise or medical advice from Joe Rogan. Come ON people!! Use your head.
