[greco grappler]

what is the best quad exersices, that one exersice where you can really feel it the next mourning. So what is the best quad exersices (or routine) for your quads, in your opion?

[niceasey]

Squats. I never feel them the next day but usually two or three days after. I've just back into squatting after some ligament damage and did a relativley light set for myself- 160kg's-and can still feel it 5 days later.

Front Squats !!!

[Ejmre]

No question is is the squat. All I do for quads is 5 sets of squats and 2 sets thigh ext.

[Shotput15]

Front squats are amazing! Develop your teardrops like none other! I love front squats, if you haven't tried them already, as you can see others agree, they rock

zerchers are fun (once you get used to the bar being in your elbow crook)

[unclejeff]

i havent done these in a long time, and it sounds funny.

try some sissy squats...they will destroy your quads

if you do them you will not be laughing

[powerman2000]

Squats for overall mass, but for that sweep that we all want, probably front squats or hack squats. You can mimmick sissy squats with a hack squat machine by foot placement.

[lonewolfshome]

FRONT SQUATS hit quads best .........i used to do back squats 4-5 sets followed by front squats 3-4 sets and yes that was tough.........dont do either now because of lower back injury.

Front Squats and Hack Squats.

[Keith Wassung]

Non-Lock Full Squats ( stop 3 inches shy of locking out) for 20 reps.

Front squats

and Front Squats done for a set of 8, rack the bar, put the bar on your back and don a Full Squat for the same number of reps.

[Uriel_da_man]

Nothing (except leg extensions, of course) will hit your quads like front squats. Keep your back as close to vertical as possible, letting your quads do all the work. You'll feel them

Squats for overall size. Experiment with different stances to see which one hits your quads hardest while allowing efficient form.

Hack squats are great for lower thighs.

How low do you guys go on the Hack Squat? Parallel or all the way down? How about placing your feet, in front of your (high on the pad) or underneath you (low on pad)

I go ALL THE WAY DOWN. And I mean ALL THE WAY. That being said, see what range of motion is comfortable for you. START WITH LIGHT WEIGHTS. And for poops sake use common sense.

My feet are about 2 feet in front of my body, heels touching, toes at 45 degree angle.

[MiketheSwede]

ok, just checking....
I have been trying to develop the lower lateral head of my quads, and

"feet are about 2 feet in front of my body, heels touching, toes at 45 degree angle"

is pretty much EXACTLY what I have been doing, thanks! I was just wondering about the risk to my knees (when going all the way).
What I have been doing is some workouts I go all the way down, some I add more weight and stay above 90 degrees.

[Zensuji]

fronyt squat

agree, nothing better imo

Heavy Front Squats mainly, but I know that the Leg Presses (RP) and Extensions really tear your Quads up.

Don't bounce.

I actually don't believe in doing hacks really heavy. I put my "heavy" effort into squats, but I don't see the point in doing some exercises heavy, where you are already artificially restricting the leverage.

I get a better feel on them using constant tension.

[Berserkersdmf]

Quads-Leg presses,and front squats.As for feeling it the next few days all over,it would be olympic style back squats.

[DR.Squats]

There are IMO 4 exercises that will really give you size to your quads and thoes are Squats (Go figure right), Leg Extentions, Barbell Lunges, and Leg Presses. Thoes have given me exceptional gains. And i can feel it the next morning every time i do legs. I found that the best rep & set range is 4 sets and 8-12 reps. Hope this helps.

Front squats

[JNo20]

Squats are #1 in my book, followed by heavy leg presses, hacks and front squats in that order (again, it's MY book, so back off ). Leg extensions don't even rank on my list of quad builders, but I do think that lunges, though not the best option for mass, have their place.
