So if you want some tree trunk legs, here is a superset that you have to try out. First we’re gonna start with leg extensions. I personally like to use a fast concentric and slow eccentric, but you can also pause at the top if that helps you feel a better contraction. This is gonna work the shortened position of the rectus femoris which is the only leg muscle that crosses the hip joint meaning it shortens when you flex your hip, like when you’re sitting down. That also means it lengthens when you extend your hip, which is why immediately after leg extensions, we are going into sissy squats to failure, since now your hips are extended, working more of the rec fem’s lengthened position. To do these, push your knees forward and let your heels come off the ground until you tap the floor, then push up with your legs making sure your torso stays aligned with your lower body, and only using your opposite hand for balance, not assisting yourself up. Remember, this is for the lengthened position, so you really have to focus on not flexing your hips in order to keep them extended, and you should feel an incredible stretch at the bottom.
