How to Get Bigger Quads FAST!

If you want to get bigger quads fast, then you have to watch this video and find out the one simple change you can make to your squats that will help you start building big legs quickly. Everyone knows that squats are a staple leg exercise for building big quads, glutes and hamstrings. That said, if

What’s up guys, Jeff Cavaliere,  Athleanx. com. Today I want to show you how to grow bigger quads fast. Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

You understand that if you  do this every single video, it’s no longer an interruptions,  it’s actually part of the video. Well, you’re welcome for me being here. Can I talk about quads here, please? Well you can’t talk about quads without  talking about the King of Quads. I’m going to mention the king,  Tom Plats is the Kinde.

No, no, no, no, no. Not Tom  Plats. Jesse Laico. Run it.

You didn’t just seriously bring  the just the Jesse intro back? Of course, I did. It’s 2020, I  got to bring the intro back. 2020 is a shit year and that’s a shit into. Damn.

Listen, I’m going to talk about the  squat, though. I’m going to show you how squatting differently than you are right  now is actually where the real secret lies to building up your quads faster. So, if you want  to see that me and Jesse at the squat rack. Wait Jeff, we’re in the squat rack right now. It’s just something I could say to get us to the next part.

Okay, here we are, the rack. This is actually still Jesse, not Tom Platts, don’t  be confused. But I want you to notice one thing, look at the width of his stance. Does it look anything like yours? And it’s actually pretty traditional feet outside  of shoulder width.

Go ahead and do a squat, Jesse. Straight down and straight up. Now, the point  of this is, if you squat this way all the time, then what I’m suggesting you do is change  it up. Because neurologically you’re going to benefit from this because the recruitment  pattern that you’ve developed from this squat, more time, is going to be much different than  what I’m going to suggest you do next. And that is narrow up your squat considerably.

This is the Tom Platt style, a narrow stance, squat. You put your feet in here and when you come  down, a couple of things happen. First of all, your range of motion on the squat increases a lot. Why? Instead of having your knees in this plane, the frontal plane, when viewed from the side  traveling outward, now with them narrow, they have to travel in the sagittal plane, which means  that you have to get lower through more of that deeper hip flexion and of course at the ankles  through more dorsiflexion.

Well, if you don’t have the mobility through your ankles, you’re going  to get stopped about halfway down on this. But the way around that is to simply put a couple  of plates under your heels like this. By getting into this position here of more point of flexion,  we relieve some of that top end dorsiflexion range of motion that we need. So now when we come down,  we can comfortably get down to this position. At this point, this is going to more  favorably recruit the quads because, again, we don’t have that stretch that happens when  the knees travel out on the adductors.

Again, changing and reprogramming the recruitment  pattern at the bottom of the squat. This is not something you’re going to go do Max  squat with, you’re going to dramatically lighten the weights, which brings me to the next point. If you really want to turn on the gas in terms of increasing the size of your quads with focused  hypertrophy work, don’t just do this for a few reps. Grind them out again Tom Platt style for 20  reps. A 20 rep quads set done with a narrow stance is an absolute grinder.

And the point of it is you  don’t just do it where the 20th rep is difficult and you get tired on that 20th rep, you’re  going to likely get tired around the teens, 13, 14, 15th rep. You then rest, pause briefly  and grind out another and rest, pause briefly until you grind out your 20th rep. And the good news is, even if you’re concerned that you’re going to lose strength because you’re  going to drop those weights, trust me, guys, if you can better recruit your quads at the bottom  of the lift, you’re going—what are you doing? Showing off my quads. Oh.

You’re going to be able to have a stronger squat when you go back to traditional  with squatting because you’re going to have the additional benefits of stronger quads at  the bottom where we already know you have the adductors, we already know you have the strength  to drive you out of the bottom of the rep. So that being said, guys, give it a try. Don’t  be afraid to change it up every once in a while. Work this into your squat regimen and I  promise. You guys, better games await you.

In the meantime, if you thought this is the most  pathetic of all of Jesse’s intros, make sure you leave a comment and thumbs up below. And also,  if looking for programs, guys, when we put the science back in strength in everything we do,  you can find them all over at Athleanx. com. Make sure you also click, subscribe  and turn on your notifications so you never miss a new video when we put one  out. All right guys, see you soon.

Wait, Jeff, we’re in the squat rack,  shouldn’t you be curling or something? Wow, wow have you changed. I’m called  Brolin, where’s Josh Brolin?
