Haven't been here in a long time, just moved into uni accomodation, so stressfull, cooking, waking up early.
How's everything adarq, workouts looking good.
i had this weird understanding that quads were not a good muscle to develop as it might overshadow might hams, so i concentrated on improving my hams and glutes.
well, it's hard to overdevelop the quads if you're lunging & doing direct glute/ham work
having really beast quads ties in directly to vertical jump and short acceleration with sprints.
I think this was a mistake as quads are also important in sprinting.
yup
know any good quad activation and warm drills i could use.
best quad activation stuff I know if is just the simple unloaded TKE's... either ISO or for rep-minis..
just sit down, in a leg-extension type of position, and extend both legs.. focus on really 'squeezing that vmo'.. you can hold this for time or do little controlled reps etc.. just turn on those quads manually, works really well..
other than that, you'd have to turn on the quads dynamically with stuff like double or single leg pogos etc.. stiff leg.
as for some direct quad work (other than squat/lunges), I like leg-extension tke's for high reps (with weight on the stack), sissy squats (body weight), and utilizing HIGH REP squat/lunge schemes...
20 rep squats and long distance lunges just smash the quads.
