You never skip leg day, but the front of your thighs still looks flat: no outer sweep, no teardrop. The way most people squat and press lets the hips, the glutes and the ego do most of the work.
In this video:
• the four quad muscles, and the one squats barely train
• why the rectus femoris needs leg extensions, and why leaning back grows it more
• deep squats vs half squats
• why your knees should travel forward
• leg press done right: deep, feet low, controlled
• pauses, effort, frequency and progression
• the 8 mistakes that keep quads flat, and the fix for each
• Bulgarian split squats, and how to protect your knees
• a simple twice-a-week plan (gym and home)
• how to tell if your quads are really growing
THE PLAN
Train quads 2x per week:
Session 1: High-Bar / Heels-Elevated Squat 3 x 6-10 (pause) · Leg Extension, leaning back 3 x 10-15
Session 2: Leg Press, feet low 3 x 8-12 · Bulgarian Split Squat 3 x 8-12 per leg · Leg Extension 2 x 12-15
Tempo: 2-3 s down, pause, drive up. Rest 2-3 min on heavy sets. About 14 hard sets per week.
