Next time I’m hitting these FIRST 🤣.

... Read moreIf you're looking to build stronger quads and improve your overall leg strength, starting your workout with split squats can be a game-changer. In my experience, hitting split squats first helps activate the muscles effectively, setting a solid foundation for the rest of the leg day exercises. Unlike traditional squats, split squats allow you to focus on one leg at a time, which helps address muscle imbalances and improves stability. When performing split squats, maintaining proper form is crucial. Keep your torso upright, ensure your knees track over your toes, and take a controlled step back to deepen the stretch in your hip flexors. This movement not only targets your quads but also engages your glutes and hamstrings, making it a comprehensive exercise for leg training. Incorporating split squats early in your routine can also enhance your balance and coordination, which benefits other compound leg exercises. Over time, this prioritization can lead to better muscle activation and increased strength gains. Remember to warm up thoroughly before starting and gradually increase the weight or resistance to avoid injury. Whether you're focusing on quad workouts or a full leg day, split squats are an excellent choice to kick off your training and get the most out of your session.
