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. If you have skinny legs and can’t seem to get them to grow, I have good news for you.
