Every bodybuilder and weight trainer will have their favourite exercises for each body part. That's how it should be; as you move through the different stages of learning, you'll figure out what works best for you. It is helpful, though, to check in on your progress every so often and figure out where you are and what, if any, changes you need to make to move forward.
As part of this analysis, you should look at the most important exercises in your bodybuilding training programme. In this article, we'll look at the leg exercises that serious bodybuilders have used for many years and found to be useful. When it's necessary, a set of exercises that are good for getting you close to being exhausted will be given. Six to eight reps should be done of each exercise until you can't do any more.
Leg extension: This exercise lets you focus on your thighs while keeping the other leg muscles strong for the compound exercise that comes next.
- Push the pads in until the knees are almost locked.
- Pause.
Lower carefully to the starting point.
- Leg press: If you've done enough other exercises, you can go right to this one.
- Put your feet on the foot board so that they are shoulder-width apart.
- Bend the legs almost all the way up to the chest.
- Pause.
- Move the control back to where it was at the beginning.
- Calf muscles: The best way to work the calf muscles is to do raises on special gym equipment that lets you do raises both while standing and while sitting.
