Grow Bigger Legs By Hitting Them Hard With The Basics – Quad Foundation

F.V. Team

Written by F.V. Team

Last Updated onMarch 18, 2017

If there’s one muscle group where getting creative with your exercise selection is totally unnecessary, it’s your legs. Massive quads are rarely achieved through ingenuity. Rather, what will get you there is a willingness to move heavy weights through full ranges of motion on basic movements repeatedly.

Unique exercises have their place in any program, but many people focus on them too much when they should really be stressing rep ranges, volume, intensity, and frequency with basic moves.

Work harder to understand and manipulate these variables, while placing less emphasis on esoteric exercises, and you’re bound to see great results.

1. Barbell Squat

Your heels should never come off the floor when squatting. Push the weight up through your heels, not the balls of your feet.

2. Leg Press

There are no half reps allowed on the leg press. Travel through a full range of motion on every rep.

3. Dumbbell Lunge

Short strides on lunges target the quads, while longer strides will hit your hamstrings and glutes.

4. Leg Extension

Make sure to emphasize the squeeze at the top of the motion. Don’t let momentum take over at any point.

The workout below represents “multi-rep range training,” with strength training rep ranges on squats, hypertrophy ranges on leg presses and lunges, and high reps on extensions to finish it off.

The Workout:

ExerciseSetsRepsRest
Barbell Squat3*3-52-3 Min
Leg Press36-81-2 Min
Leg Extension20-2545-60 Seconds
Dumbbell Lunge28-101-2 Min

Notes:

* Not including two warm-up sets of 5 to 7 reps each with light to moderate effort.
** Increase weight on each set.
