Whatever path you take in life will be long and have its obstacles. To combat that, you’ll need to have powerful legs to overcome the terrain. Plus, summer is here so you need to have some skin below the belt that won’t cause a commotion if flaunted out in public. Here’s some of my favorite workouts to build strong manly legs!
The Barbell Squat
The Barbell Squat is probably one of the most used workouts when it comes to increasing the muscle mass of your legs. It works out your glutes, quads, hamstrings, and of course, your calves. It also increases your jump height and works your core.
Dumbbell Walking Lunge
When it comes to developing functional strength in your lower body, the Dumbbell Walking lunge not only helps you grow nice man legs but also provide the strength for day-to-day manliness. This workout will also test your core stability and balance, improving them both over time.
Standing Calf Raises
Don’t let the simplicity of this workout fool you. The isolated technique in Calf Raises will increase definition in your calf muscle (who would’ve thought). Not only your calf muscle but your entire lower leg, including your Achilles heel. Holding weights allows continuous progression so you can properly get your burn.
The Leg Press
Like the Barbell Squat, the Leg Press is extremely efficient when it comes to building leg strength and developing leg muscles the size of a melon. Pro Tips: Move slow and don’t slam your knees into your chest.
The Romanian Deadlift
This workout is all about isolating your hamstrings and glute muscles. It’s a relatively simple workout but can lead to serious back and leg injuries if you aren’t using the proper weight, so always follow necessary precautions.
Remember to perform all workouts with acceptable safety precautions and NEVER add more than you can bare. Leave a comment stating a list you would like to see added.
