If Jesse could grow his quads in a relatively short amount of time by doing making these changes, then you can build big legs by doing the same. By pausing the rep, you are trying to “convince your quads” to do the work necessary to get you up and complete the repetition.īy utilizing these simple steps the next time you squat, you will be on your way to growing bigger legs. Once you reach that target, hold the rep (with maximum tension on the quads) for 2-3 seconds before ascending. I have talked about the importance of pause squats before when it comes to building strength and size of the legs and it doesn’t change here. You want to just barely reach the surface, almost “kissing” the box with your butt. Lastly, when you squat down, don’t sit on the box. If there is fear of not being able to get up out of the hole, the box allows for a reassurance that you will not come crashing down to the ground. This will not only give you a good target of how deep you need to squat, but it also provides a sort of safety net. Don’t worry if the box is too short, you can add a plate on top of it to make sure you are hitting a comfortable depth at or below parallel. You will want to make sure that you find a box that is the right height for you to be reaching parallel when you hit the bottom of the squat. Next, introducing a box can make all the difference in the world when it comes to squatting. Narrow up your stance and load those quads if you plan on building bigger legs. When he narrowed his stance, he noticed an immediate difference in the amount of tension placed in his quads as compared to the adductors. ![]() With that wide stance, Jesse, like many others, felt a great amount of strain on his adductors when coming out of the hole on the squat. Jesse shows the difference between an extra wide stance versus a stance that is just outside shoulder width. As I mentioned previously, to get bigger legs, you need to load the quads with maximum tension. The problem with this method is that with the knees so far out, the adductors are doing the most work instead of the quads. Remember, if you want to build big legs, you need to be squatting to the proper depth!Ĭontinuing with the idea of loading the quads…for a number of reasons, people often believe that you should be squatting with an extra wide stance. By stopping the rep short of parallel, you are sacrificing the potential to overload the muscles, which is necessary if you want you’re quads to grow. Why? Because the femur are perpendicular to the force of gravity, the quads are receiving maximum tension. It’s been repeated ad nauseam that you need to break parallel when you hit the hit the bottom of the squat. It’s called the king of leg exercises for a reason! One major problem that many people have during the squat, however, is that they fail to actually load the quads. I’m bringing Jesse in to show how incorporating this change to his squat has helped him to get bigger legs.įirst off, if you want to build big legs, you need to be squatting. In this video, I am going to give you a simple tip that you can implement into your leg training immediately that will help to finally grow those chicken legs.
