The Best Science-Based Leg Day For Growth (Quads/Glutes/Hamstrings) | PUSH PULL LEGS SERIES

This video is the final installment of my 3-part push pull legs routine series.

In this video, we’ll cover your leg workout for the week.

The first exercise will be barbell squats, which has been shown to be one of the best quad exercises (not to mention, glute exercises).

I’d recommend the front squat over the back squat for two reasons.

First, the front squat achieves comparable levels of muscle activation when using roughly 20% lighter weight than the back squat.

Second, research has shown that the front squat produces significantly lower compressive forces on the knee as well as reduced lumbar stress when compared to back squats.

Regardless, incorporating both into your legs workout is a great idea.
