Long-term lifters understand the real importance of leg day (despite how gruelling it may be). Stronger quads help to stabilise our body, power everyday movements, like walking, running and hiking, and generate force – whether that be on the pitch playing sports, or doing heavy squats or deadlifts in the gym. And, real-talk, they look good peeping through your summer shorts.
If you don’t give your quads as much attention as you give your chest and biceps, take this as your cue to start, because you’ll be leaving strength and muscle gains on the table, as well as a ton of everyday benefits.
