Ever been taunted of 'Chicken Legs'? Nightmare eh?? Thats what happens if you are too lazy to hit the legs. My suggestion- Make leg your best day!!
Before I begin lets go slightly through legs anatomy.
It comprises of 3 set of strong muscle fiber:
-Quads
There are 3 sets of quads(Rectus Femoris, Vastus Laterallis, vastus Mediallis). These muscle sets extends all the way from hip to the knee wrapping the femur from the front. their basic function is for extension and flexion when hip is extended.
-Hamstrings
Hamstrings exists as a group of semitendinosus, semimembranosus, bicep femoris muscles. These extends from buttocks to the knee in the back side of the thigh. It assists in movement of knee and hips.
-Calves
Calves are the group of two sets of muscles fiber namely gastrocnemius, soleus. They are located in the back portion of the lower leg. They are the diamond shaped muscle people refer to as. They assists the movement of ankle.
Barbell Squat
-Hold the barbell up in your traps with chest out and head facing forward.
-Keep distance between your legs.
- Bend your upper body downwards keeping your lower legs(below knee) still. You can as well move your knees forward. Anyways, the goal is to keep the torso as upright as possible.
- Make sure when you are down, the body weight is on the front of the heel.
- Take the reverse for upward motion.
