5 Tips For Growing Bigger Quads Quickly!

[@calvinnguyen1097]

Leg extensions with 20+ reps are awesome. Used to 10-12 reps and got so much knee pain. 20+ reps get 0 pain and get insane pumps and stimulus

[@MrSmurf459]

Slow eccentrics are great for knee pain in my opinion!

[@pablomunoz6446]

​@@MrSmurf459yes, and a little pause on the Bottom

[@TehMadCow]

@@MrSmurf459 yep, I used to be a little scared to do them because everyone says they can destroy your knees, but once I started doing them in a much slower more controlled manner really focusing on the eccentric portion, I have not had any issues/pain & I found I could go much heavier than I had previously allowed myself to (still doing high rep ranges of about 15-20)

[@deyvisonwillamy6931]

20+ resp burn like hell 🥵☠️ I can't. Leg extension are torture. I prefer something between 8-15 reps. 👌 Higher reps Burns to much for me and my breathe rum out quickly 😮‍💨

[@25johnlowe]

Yep, I do a pyramid on leg extensions of 50, 30, 20,16,14,12, 10 reps while stepping the weight up 1 pin each time. Slow and controlled with a proper stretch. Also the Watson leg extension has the cam load it at the stretch more too which is ideal. After each set you feel like your legs are gunna exploded and have to jump out of the machine. Recently started doing single leg for some variation this next meso. Never had any knee pain at all which I sometimes did when I squatted. I then do 3 sets of controlled leg press and my quads are fried.

[@dereckkeaton7473]

Still in the beginner stage (more so for legs. Neglected them due to injuries- but love training them now!) I had heard a while ago that on the concentric of a SLDL imagine scooting your heels forward as you rise. This gave me an insane MMC. Along with improved technique I try to somewhat apply this to the leg press by imagining I am sliding my feet up/ down the platform as I go through the reps. That REALLY got me in tune with my quads and helped with other movements as well. If anyone has other mental cues when they are working quads please share! (PS- I have been lifting again for a year after a 5 year hiatus. I thought I knew what I was doing before but Dr. Mike makes me feel a beginner all over again haha)

[@The_Legend715]

Try to point your toe upwards towards your leg bone (Dorsiflexion) on the leg extension, this fries my rectus femoris quad muscle which is neglected on regular squats.

[@ClassicTor]

​@@The_Legend715you mean the (front calf) thing ?

[@ninjapirat4703]

How is the rectus femoris trained with ankle dorsiflexion, when its primary function is knee flexion as well as hip extension? If you want to train your rectus femoris, you have to lay back into an almost horizontal position, which allows said muscle to activate.@@The_Legend715

KISS for quads. Deep squats and leg extensions are working great for me currently. ATG high bar, Platz front squats with extra heel elevation, leg extensions with focus on deep stretch. Also doing some body weight sissy squats for a few sets at the end of some leg days. Platz style squats have really transformed by leg training. I'm 6'2" and used to feel squats in my glutes and low back, and I could never connect with my quads on front squats. I'm wearing a 20 mm heel rise shoe with an extra 1/2" elevation insole from Versalifts for my Platz work and now can finally make my quads the limiting factor. Sink em deep!

[@The_Legend715]

As someone who always played the long femur card, when I became real with myself, I found I could squat deep just fine, working on your ankle mobility, dropping your ego and elevating your heels will do wonders. P.S: Learn Front Squats, they will make your back squats 'squatier'

[@dbo514]

Long femur here too. I'm struggling but front squats are definitely good. Have pretty good dorsiflexion but my right ankle isn't as good so I'll work on that.

[@hefudgedafrog]

I did the same, I ignored my ankles then I started squatting heels elevated and realised it was 100% what limited me. Started doing ankle mobility work in earnest and combined with weight lifting shoes I pretty rapidly got to the point where I was sitting on the back of my heels with 3 plates instead of feeling like I was going to fall backwards even 1 degree past parallel.

[@ericanderson7346]

My forearm to upper arm length ratio is too high to front rack the bar without bending the shit out of my wrists. Any alternatives to front squats!

[@The_Legend715]

@@ericanderson7346 same here, you can use straps to loosen the bend, or use the straps themselves to wrap around the bar, and grip the end of the straps, I would check Jeff Nippard video about Front Squats to learn about it Also check alan thrall video on them, because as he said you might not have problem with your wrist or elbows but instead with your thoracic extension.

EG setting it to 205, hitting 14 reps, fifteen second break, 8 more reps, fifteen seconds, 6 more reps, 10 second break, 5 reps, 10 second break, 4 reps etc. 3 minute break. set machine to 190, repeat. run that down the stack for 6-10 sets. can throw them in whenever no DOMs, doesn't take that long or create much systemic fatigue.

[@jzepp7013]

Dr. Mike is so knowledgeable. I have completely changed my way of lifting weights. For the past 15 years of lifting, all I have done is heavy weight low rep Bro splits of once per week bodypart training. I did get up to 170 pounds with @ 16 1/2 arms. I was pretty jacked but always felt like I was resting way too long between bodyparts. I have just started working each muscle group twice weekly doing more deep stretch under load and TUT reps using medium to lighter weights versus heavy weights. I hope that training style will be the missing key to help me gain even more size without having to lift heavy as I am in my 40's now. I want to continue to lift injury free. I am way over the heavy weight ego lifting of my 20's and 30's

One thing that I stole from the Calisthenic Movement channel is that, in one video, the guy talked about adding flexibility to your daily life and in one of the examples he was a doing a split while washing his teeth. I do the same but by squatting as low as I can go and putting myself in a position to stretch my ankles while I wash my teeth, also when I cook or read I do it on the floor so I can passive stretch my legs, I also stretch while studying languages in my phone, I also experimented with having my computer on the floor to stretch passively while I use it but I'm not flexible enough to find it comfortable for now, add flexibility to daily things, also stretch in between sets (it's not like you are doing anything else right? When you finish benching touch your toes).

[@alaaentabi7879]

[@gideaorodrigues1958]

You need to gobble up a lot of bananas

[@alaaentabi7879]

science doesnt fully understand DOMs yet, but its mostly due to the size of the muscle and the force it has to exert (squatting is shittons of weight + huge range of motion), this is thought to cause tons of inflamation in the muscle. Fun fact but your quads alone are like the size of your chest, lats and deltoids COMBINED

[@mantyomena]

Bigger muscles, need more hydration. If you get cramps, it's basically always a hydration issue. Either your body doesn't absorb fluids efficiently or you have a lack of fluids. Solution: More fluids (preferrably something with electrolytes, not just water) and/or magnesium supplements.

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

I never load up the plates on the leg press since I've found it to be one of the most dangerous lifts for my lower back. Once I have 5 plates on and my butt comes off the seat, I'm at risk of walking hunched over for a week. But, I do use it with much lower weight and single leg presses with a lot of focus on the eccentric part of the movement. A few months of that has really helped my stubborn quads. I'm with you on the high rep leg extensions. I keep the weight at about 40 or 50 and grind out as many as I can. Then I do cluster sets until I have nothing in the tank.

[@Liftergeist]

Ive been doing maintenance volume for my quads for the last 12 weeks and have been using belt squats in 5-12 rep range alongside a couple of sets of elevated sissy squats in 10-20. What's nuts is the SFR is so great I feel like I've just slightly grown my quads with like 5 sets a week total. If you check all of the points mentioned in the video and furthermore adjust the technical minutae based on your individual needs the quad work becomes so satisfying. P.s. belt squats are the MVP

[@v0idbit69]

Great tips! Could you possibly make a video talking about breathing and bracing for hypertrophy? Especially for barbell squats. I'm used to expending a lot of energy throughout a set bracing and re-bracing after breathing between reps with loads close to 1RM. I can handle up to sets of 5 this way with my quads being the limiting factor, but I haven't quite figured out the appropriate way to tone it down for sets of 10. So my cardio gives out before my quads have a chance to be a limiting factor. I've been training the 1 to 5 RM PRs so long that my technique is Pavlovian now.

Glad people are catching on.

Hey Dr. Mike, I need training advice re: injuries. I cut my pinky finger to the bone yesterday right at the tip of the bone, and got a fracture in the process. I know I can't do pulling workouts for a while, at least not traditional pullups or barbell/dumbbell/machine rowing. I'm looking for alternatives to minimize strength/muscle loss while I heal. I had the idea to use resistance bands hooked around the lower arm for bicep/tricep work and maybe a press machine (so I can use an open palm) in a couple weeks, after I've healed enough.

I always was leg dominant genetically, huge calves with no training, heavier squat than deadlift, and no lower boey injuries (while having injuries in almost every joint of my upper body - former pro judo fighter). My leg training was always focused on heavy, low rep squats, but I have recently tried leg extentions for high reps, and its just phenomenal. By the 12th rep, I already have crazy stimulus in my quads, by the 15th, I already lose the will the be alive.
