Before I say anything, I want to send a big thanks out to Big Rick Rock for taking care of things.
Now, let's get back to bodybuilding.
As tough as it is to expect, it's hard exercise that grows muscle more than anything else. More than diet, more than supps, more than drugs. And if you're up for some hard work, I have something I think you're really going to like -- or hate.
For years I had a difficult time isolating the quads. Squats hit a lot of glute and hams. Leg extentions didnt really do it . And the hack machine killed me kness. People talk abut front squats hitting the front of the thighs but that is more od a perspection. (Bar in the front= working the front). The truth is front squats hit the same muscles as a bar behind the back. The movement is the same. Besides, having a 200 pound bar on my throat is not the most pleasant thing I can think of. Fuck that.
But here's a tip from the old timers that will really hit the front quads. One problem. It is the most uncomfortable exercise you'll ever do!
It's the old fashioned hack squat where you hold a barbell behind the back of your legs. When was the last time you ever saw anybody do THAT? Try it and you'll know why.
Instead of going heavy with this movement, you may want to give this a go...
Do a regular set of any leg exercise such as regular squats. Stop just short of failure. With less than 10 seconds rest, take a light bar -- 100 pounds or less -- even just the bar will work until you get a feel for it.
Stand in front of it. With your arms straight down, squat down and pick the bar up behind your back, maintaining stiff, straight arms as you rise.
The bar will drag a bit accross your calves and hamstrings on your way up. That's okay.
Now, shoot for 15 reps in a smooth controlled manner. Repeat with the next set.
I guarentee you will feel a burn in the lower quads like you've never felt before.
This is tough, but it works. Try it the next time it's leg day and post your experience. It won't be pretty.
