Exercises to Build
Your Legs
With this week being all about building some bigger and
stronger legs I want to put some emphasis on a few exercises that will really
drive some impressive results. The main lifts that I am highlight are the barbell
squat, leg extensions, barbell front squat, deadlift, and Romanian deadlift.
These lifts are known as compound lifts with the exception
of the leg extensions, which are actually an isolation movement. Compound lifts
use multiple joint movements in the body in order to move the weight that you
are working with and provide great overall body results.
Larger compound movement lifts can be quite difficult to
describe in writing, especially when considering a beginners level of weight
lifting experience. That being said, I have linked several informational videos
that demonstrate proper form and technique for the barbell squat, leg
extension, front squat, deadlift, and Romanian deadlift.
