Unlocking the Power of Leg Exercises: A Guide
Legs exercises that are better than the back squat? Is it possible?
If you have small legs and think the only way to grow them is by squatting heavy, then you need to rethink your approach.
Troy Adashun explains how he switched up his leg training and managed to achieve impressive strength and muscle gains without using the barbell back squat.
He argues that there are many other lower body exercises that are better when it comes to hypertrophy of the lower body.
“I wanted to make this video because, contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to squat heavy weights to grow your legs. Today’s leg workout for growth will contain no barbell squats whatsoever.”
“When I started lifting, I thought squatting as heavy as I could was the best way to get bigger legs, but it turns out I was training more for strength than hypertrophy. Try this leg workout for bigger legs and feel the difference in the rep ranges, pacing of each rep, and overall exercise selection.”
“These leg exercises will blow up your legs in a short and intense workout. I call this type of training the balloon method, and it’s how I train to grow any muscle.”
Exercises that are Better than the Squat for Lower Body Muscle Gain
Legs Exercises that are Better: Dumbbell Bulgarian Split SquatProbably one of the most painful and effective leg exercises that exists.
Go nice and deep, and don’t cheat the movement.
You will feel this all the way from your glutes to your quads.
Stick to a 10- to 12-rep range for maximum muscle growth gains.
Keep the knees over the toes and overload each leg, one leg at a time. To make the exercise even harder, try paused reps. Hold the bottom position for at least 3 seconds to maximize time under tension.
Legs Exercises that are Better: Dumbbell Walking Lunges Super Set with Hands Over the Head Walking Lunges
This will further fatigue the legs in a functional and challenging way.
Again, the superset will extend the time under tension, which will result in more muscle growth.
Growth Tip: Add bodyweight versions of each exercise as a super set.
Legs Exercises that are Better: Dumbbell Sumo Squats
This is an excellent alternative if you are experiencing any lower back issues or are recovering from an injury.
It is impossible to load as heavy as you would for a back squat, and it forces you to keep your core and spine upright and tight.
You can choose to perform this with an elevated heel if you find ankle mobility an issue. Simply place your heels on a weight or bumper plate.
Make sure to squeeze at the top and concentrate on the mind muscle connection.
Legs Exercises that are Better: Leg Extensions Super Set with Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift
Go for 3 sets of 12 reps of both exercises. The RDLs must be performed immediately after completing the leg extensions.
Form Tip: Point your toes out slightly and squeeze your quads as tightly as possible at the top of the movement.
Troy Adashun believes that the following equation, performed within the right rep ranges, is a great principle for leg growth: “Intensity + Consistency = growth.”
TIME-STAMPS FOR VIDEO:
00:00 Why Squats are killing your gains
00:15 The truth about chicken legs
00:50 The perfect leg workout for fast growth
01:50 One of the most painful leg exercises you can do (but it works!)
03:00 DB walking lunges superset for growth
04:45 Great barbell squat alternative
05:20 Great superset for quads and hamstrings
As a final disclaimer, Troy states that consistent back squatting in the 10 – 12 rep range is a phenomenal way to grow your legs. However, he bebelieves that or beginner athletes this runs in parallel with a higher risk of injury than many of the other exercises that he included in his video.
Muscles of the legs
Your legs are full of lots of muscles that control movement in different ways. Some help you walk, while others help you run or jump. The quadriceps are located at the front of your thigh, while the hamstrings are located on the back side. Both groups of muscles work together to provide power and stability when you’re moving around.
Quadriceps (Quads)
The quads are the muscles that make up your thighs. They extend or bend your knees and straighten your hips. The quadriceps consists of four individual muscles: vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius.
Vastus Lateralis
The Vastus Lateralis is one of your quadriceps muscles. It’s located on the outer side of your thigh, and it helps you extend your leg. The Rvastus lateralis is a large muscle that can be strengthened with exercises such as lunges and squats.
The vastus lateralis is located on the outer side of your thigh.
The vastus lateralis is located on the outer side of your thigh. The muscle extends from the middle of your knee to the top of your patella (knee cap), and it lies underneath a layer of fat.
The vastus lateralis is one of four large muscles making up the quadriceps group in your leg: rectus femoris, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius are its three counterparts. A small portion of each has an anterior attachment point at your pelvis called an iliotibial band or ITB (pronounced I-T-B). This band helps stabilize and support these muscles as they bend your knee forward or back during exercise or daily activities like walking up stairs or climbing into bed after a long day at work.
Rectus Femoris
The rectus femoris is a quadriceps muscle. It makes up one-quarter of your thigh muscle and originates at your pelvis and inserts at the tibia and patella. This segmented muscle is responsible for flexing your knee joint, which helps you move forward when running or walking uphill.
ectus femoris also helps to stabilize your hip as you perform other movements that involve twisting or bending in different directions (for example, kicking a ball).
The rectus femoris runs down the center of your thigh.
The rectus femoris is one of the quadriceps muscles, located on the front of your thigh. This muscle runs down the center of your thigh from your hip to your knee, attaching to the patella (knee cap) in its final few inches.
This muscle is responsible for extending (straightening) and flexing (bending) the knee joint, which allows you to move forward and back in walking motions, as well as turn and twist when running.
Vastus Medialis
The vastus medialis is a muscle located on the inner side of your thigh. It attaches to your knee cap and helps you extend and flex your legs. It also helps you flex your knees by turning inwards. The vastus medialis can help prevent injuries like ACL tears because it is used to stabilize the knee joint during movement.
The vastus medialis is located on the inner side of your thigh. It attaches to your knee cap.
The vastus medialis is located on the inner side of your thigh. It attaches to your knee cap, and helps straighten your leg.
Vastus Intermedius
Vastus intermedius is located underneath the rectus femoris and extends from your hip to your knee. It attaches to your knee cap, which helps it extend and flex legs, as well as flex knees.
The vastus intermedius is located underneath the rectus femoris and extends from your hip to your knee.
The vastus intermedius is located underneath the rectus femoris and extends from your hip to your knee. It is a quadriceps muscle, which means that it helps flex your knee.
Hamstrings
The hamstrings are located on the back of your thighs. These muscles help you extend and flex your legs. They also work with your quadriceps to flex or bend your knees, as well as help prevent injuries such as ACL tears.
If you’re an athlete who needs to increase speed, stability or power, having strong hamstrings is beneficial. For example: if you’re playing football (American or otherwise), having strong hamstrings will allow you to make sharper turns when running downfield because they help keep your body upright while sprinting instead of letting it fall forward when turning left or right at high speeds like it might otherwise do so easily without strong hamstrings supporting them!
Your legs are full of lots of muscles that control movement in different ways
Your legs are full of lots of muscles that control movement in different ways. The quadriceps and hamstrings are the main muscles on the front and back of your thigh, respectively. The vastus medialis is on the inside of your leg. Abductor muscles (the gluteus medius and minimus) support hip motion while adductor muscles (adductor longus, brevis and magnus) squeeze in from each side to hold things together!

my dearly-held self-insert thing for the Batfamily is they’re highly trained gymnasts, athletes, fighters, etc etc, but even they despair when Bruce makes them do weighted Bulgarian Split Squats and I STAND by this
#I have seen grown men reduced to tears by this exercise#because it isolates every muscle in one leg#there’s no rest or ‘bottom’ to the exercise really#just pain#and weighted????#my heart has never worked harder#harder than running even#batman#bruce wayne#dc#batfamily#weightlifting#anyway yeah that’s my self insert#not that everything else I write isn’t a little bit in other ways but

pt update!! i’ve been using a .5 kg weight and it seems a good size, i get around 7 in a 10 set and it starts to get difficult so i’ll stick with it at least until i can do the full 10 without pushing. i started with single bicep curls, side raises and overheads and overheads are the absolute worst lmao. now i’ve added double bicep curls and front raises!
i thought i wasn’t really getting much better bc the weight is so light (even though i know it takes time and i’ve only been doing it for like two weeks) but then i did the front raises for the first time, got to 3 and was like this fucking sucks lmaoo
#theres still a part of my brain that thinks its basically not worth it if im doing such a light weight#but im doing 50 weighted arm movements! thats still doing a lot!#and remembering im going from entirely deconditioned and exercise intolerant thats pretty huge#and ive literally noticed improvement! i used to start to struggle around 3 when i did the side raises and overheads and now i can get to 7#before it starts to suck#i need to add my bed exercises for my legs then ill have a pretty decent workout going#the only thing is my shoulders pop and click both when i go up and down and i have no idea if theyre bad noises or just my body noises#bc all of my joints constantly pop when i move#so it could just be that but i wouldnt really know if it was something bad#i havent had any pain but thats not really a good indicator either since joint pain is normal too#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt

Ughh not to Complain on Main™, but-
Rambling rant subjects featured under cut:
Kmart stock system/poor operations of offshore-owned retail giants in New Zealand - should I complain to ComCom?
Lack of clothing options in NZ for ppl with sensitive skin, petite & plus size women & afab etc
Mentions of NZ politics
And everything in-between
Kmart is majorly frustrating me atm, I went and ordered some active leggings in a sudden new effort to get back onto even a semblance of a fitness/workout routine (even just going out walking)- then thought to myself hmm since i am paying shipping better make it count (right??), so added the zippered sweatshirt in the matching colour.
Well, the bastards apparently still have an ABYSMAL online stock system (even despite opening a big warehouse in Hamilton in 2023 that was supposedly meant to solve their incompetence re: fulfilling online orders in full), and supplied the jacket and small notebook add-on - both add-ons/not the key item I was baited in by!!
Surely if you see someone ordered two items that together make a matching set, and you might stop and think- "gee, I wonder if this person only bought one of the two matching coloured items bc they were already buying the other item (their first choice item)??" 🤔
I wouldn't have bought the damn jacket if I couldn't get the leggings. Maybe this is a lesson in don't want for more. I mean I already have the same jacket in black that I haven't worn since buying last year... (But also cos I haven't had any comfortable leggings to wear along with it- my skin is at the stage in its sensitivity/tolerance of synthetic fabrics where most leggings ITCH LIKE HELL)
Anyways I have almost immediately ordered the leggings again (which is annoying cos feels like I'm rewarding their incompetence - no hate to the min wage workers suffering the consequences but the dingbats in charge who refuse to admit their stock system is microwaved trash) in both the original colour i ordered them in (i REALLY must have them and now my stubbonness/determination is really rearing its gorgeous head), and the other colour I was gonna order the following week if the leggings turned out to fit and not BURN my legs. But now it is Friday and we likely won't know what's happening with the supplying of the leggings until next week
If they cancel the same colour leggings in this replacement order, should I inform the ComCom that they are selling stock they don't have? Or will that just drive up Kmart prices as someone said in a Stuff NZ comment?
I just know this could really mess up another poor and/or disabled* person/family's budget in a big way - someone in some degree of urgent need for an item and then the consequences of: having budgeted (often quite tightly) for something and then not having it supplied and 1. Not receiving it in a timely manner and 2. then having to pay shipping twice in total, (it's hard to explain completely but having their budget effectively lowered - iykyk) and still have to wait longer yet to receive the item (esp if it's not stocked affordably elsewhere).
*I specify disabled bc it impacts the disabled the most bc many disabled folks (and others who struggle to get to a physical store) either can't afford - either financing (often specialized) transport/energy or mental quotient (haven't the spoons, organization) etc to get in-store, so have to rely on online ordering. So yes, it kinda is a disability issue. Heck I live less than an hour's walk - which I am just lucky I am physically capable of, mentally + emotionally is a whole 'nother story (one that fluctuates day-to-day, hour-to-hour) - from my local store and it is still hard for me to get myself out the house (let alone have the energy to complete) on a Kmart trip.
People are STRUGGLING here and everything in NZ is rly expensive (jacked up by both corporate greed + high shipping costs into the country passed onto the consumer) we have less buying choice/options here (also why so hard to get a good pair of leggings here specific to my serious needs: and why I was really banking on those leggings to arrive and hopefully be my sensitive skin saviour 🙏) And they shrugged it off back in 2023, heavily implying that their upcoming Hamilton warehouse would miraculously solve this stocking issue
Anyways this is what shopping in New Zealand is like- and Kmart is supposed to be one of the best-performing retailers in NZ (putting actual kiwi businesses out of business). Also worth adding that Kmart online order confirmation emails (and account order page on the website) don't specify the colour you ordered (nor a link to product page), so now I see that one of the leggings have been shipped, but buggered if I know which colour I'll be getting 🤷♀️ (but I have an inkling it's not the one matching the jacket I have already received)
Also this has resulted in my budget being $10 down on expected funds the week the Afterpay is scheduled to come out in a fortnight (always use No Payment Upfront), and the way Afterpay refunds work, I won't see any "refund" for the original leggings until over a month from now (the say they work is they subtract the refund amount from the final (furthest away from now) payment first, then third, then second, and so on until the refund amount is reached- instead of distributing it evenly cos I guess that would just be WAY too convenient for the purchaser 👀
Please to whomever higher powers out there (not of this realm): I hope after all this bullshit that the leggings will not burn my skin (I can't wear most ftw wide leg pants so I am otherwise confined to sweatpants, skinny jeans, hippy pants, and a mere handful of other options - still don't have the space (nor spoons?) available to be taking up hems on everything.
I would rly like to start a but realisitically 1. Am I even abled enough in my now-disabled era to take on such a gargantuan task?? and 2. Idk if that would be the best attempt to keep financially afloat during a cost of living crisis that only seems to worsen by the minite + incompetent, austerity govt; when ppl are suffering financially pinching their pennies. Then again having clothing that you can actually wear is kinda a necessity, not a luxury. For those of us with sensitive skin, larger figures, petite heights; we NEED hypoallergenic clothing that fits us properly, doesn't drag on the floor (which makes them wear out sooner and look tatty) - not some cheap itchy synthetic garment that is lazily-designed (aka bodycon/skinny) to sit right against the skin so you can't even escape the itchiness/suffocation.
Affordable would be good too, but not sure if viable with all those expensive boxes to tick.
I don't even think middle class to rich people are doing much "discretionary" spending
Obligatory disclaimer, YES I know people have it much worse in so many ways overseas, BUT are we allowed to talk about this small Oceania nation's problems for once please 🙏😅 I'm not saying the aforementioned specific problems are more important or more worse than any other problems going on in world these days, I am not responsible for grading who has it worse etc etc. just let me pop off abt issues affecting NZ consumers 😅 (esp. disabled)
As I like to say, it's not a race to the bottom after all (altho word on the grapevine is that certain politicians in charge of NZ are attempting privatization by stealth aka making our healthcare system like American one (or lack thereof) - what an actual literal nightmare
P.S. Forgive my writer's "sins", in the form of any typos poor punctuation, grammar, etc
#luckily we're not talking tons of money dropped on all this#the leggings are only $17 (which is still rather rough for me with where my budget is currently at-#I'm still out here tryna afford to renew my driver's licence so i can actually have some legit photo id!!!#and unexpected expenses just keep falling out of thin air these days#i keep getting fun surprise medical expenses pop up bc: am a woman/afab; disabled (comorbidities) etc etc#and Google misinformed me that smear tests are free in New Zealand so been tryna pay that unexpected cost for two months#and they keep adding on an extra $5 for each month it goes unpaid#so they had BETTER fucking supply these gd leggings asap bc i needed that money...#and i need to get exercising and lose weight to help my health#schizospec things#New Zealand schizospec things#schizospec#actually schizospec#btw ComCom refers to the Commerce Commission - the consumer watchdog in NZ#might add more tags later (or decide to just let it drift in the wind for fear of being cringe) but i feel a nap is pretty imminent#rambling#Rachel rambles#NZ issues#New Zealand

Probably a retelling but again: I weighed 150lbs ("fat" for an 18 yr old ciswoman of my height per nonsense BMI) going into US Army basic training, and after 3 months (extra time in Intake + the actual 8 weeks) of enforced diet (no sweets, no soda, etc) and all that exercise and physical activity in South Carolina in the summer...
I still weighed 150 lbs.
Now, I did have to buy all new clothes and get my dress uniform refit and the first thing my dad said was "wow you really slimmed down" but:
I didn't feel "slimmed down." I was still my same body type (English-German farmgirl with broad shoulders and hips, big breasts, most of my height is in my torso, but my limbs are fragile little bird bones). I was still considered "fat" by the standards the Army was using. I was strong! Balanced! Tough! Fast!
But I never lost that weight. It was just altered and redistributed by my body to account for my changed diet and activity level.
(I didn't lose my sweet tooth either.)
It radically changed my view of what healthier eating habits and exercise could do, what a healthy body looked and felt like, and that the number on the scale doesn't really mean anything.
And also left me with a lasting hatred of the bullshit that is the BMI.
Me: Exercise does not cause weight loss. This is a fact that has been demonstrated so robustly in research that even doctors, who hate and fear evidence, are grudgingly starting to admit this.
Someone reading that post: Cool, but have you considered that exercise leads to weight loss?
Me: I am going to eat you
