Bodybuilding - Building Huge Legs
The basics of developing a
set of mountains for legs begins with that exercise all true bodybuilders have a
love hate relationship with. That's right, the squat! The squat is the core of
any leg program. Do not give me any of that pansy importance of isolation
exercises, if you give a full out and intense effort, giving all you could
possibly give with your human body on your squats, you don't even have to worry
about any other leg exercises.
If you have a bad back or
knee problems, the leg press is a good alternative to the squat, as it will
allow you to add more weight, but make sure you never sacrifice form for weight.
The next foundation that needs to be incorporated into the leg workout is the lunge. Amazing, that is all I can say about lunges. The legs you will develop doing heavy lunges make all the pain worth it. Lunges work the glutes, hamstrings, and quads. Lunges will take your legs to the next level, but as I said already, proper form is more important than anything. Many top bodybuilders swear by lunges, and you will also once you incorporate a set of heavy ones into your workout and watch your legs grow by the week.
The final foundation that you will want in your leg workouts will be the leg extension and the leg curl, alternated every week. The reason we are alternating these exercises is because this will allow the specific areas to recover, and also for maximum stimulation by being able to use heavier than normal weights when you come back. Forget the isolation, focus on building the mass. You cannot shape a muscle, you can only build it. Why not give your quads and hams some extra rest time each week, and then come back and blast them with "isolation" exercise and watch them grow fast.
