Thick Thighs Save Lives
Here’s Our #1 Tip for Bigger Thighs
Start your leg day with either…
- Squats
- Hack Squats
- Leg Press (preferably banded increasing resistance at the top)
These are the 3 most growth promoting exercises for the quad muscles, in particular your vastus lateralis which makes you wider.
Growth Criteria?
- These exercises allow you to lift very heavy. Generating force (tension) triggers protein synthesis post workout. The force strains the muscle cells and the cells can perceive this force-induced strain to signal protein synthesis .
- You can move weight a far distance which I like to refer to as working tension. You’re not just moving a big load, you’re moving a big load over great distance to maximize growth-promoting work .
- These exercises also allow you to stretch your quads, in particular your vastus laterals and medialis. The data support muscles grow best when they can generate force in their stretched position.
Lifting heavy while getting deep on these 3 exercises is the best way to maximize muscle fiber recruitment and growth in your quads.
