Muscle Growth Tips - Leg Training

muscle_growth_trainingLeg Training? That Hurts!!
Leg training can be both enjoyable and rewarding, and also frightening. If you've ever pushed yourself to the limit in a set of squats, you'll know what I mean. You may find that, although you really enjoy doing it, the thought of a leg workout and the effort that has to be expended, fills you with dread.

I firmly believe that leg training contributes as much to mental resilience as it does to physical; in order to continue to progress, you must fight the part of you that tells you to put the bar back on the racks when it starts to hurt, remind yourself of why your doing this, and push on. This is not a skill that you will initially have, but you will learn it soon enough, if you have the desire and the passion to go after what you want for yourself.


Hard Leg Training = Big Gains!
The muscles of the leg/hip structures comprise the largest muscles in the body. Effective training of these muscles to induce muscular growth requires intense effort, and as a result, constitutes tremendous physical stress on your body, and on your recuperative abilities. It is this fact which means that leg training will induce greater overall muscle growth, i.e. not just in the legs, than any other type of training.

This is because the tremendous physiological stress imposed will cause the body to greatly increase its production of growth factors and hormones involved in muscle repair and growth, which will have a 'spill-over' effect by aiding the growth of all your other muscle groups that are undergoing training stress. So, as you can see, it is a great mistake to ignore leg training in favour of your upper-body muscles, as you will only slow down progress, and limit the size of all your other muscle groups.

Muscle Growth Tip 1) The Squat
The squat is probably the single most effective bodybuilding exercise there is, and arguably the hardest and most uncomfortable to do. It is a fact that you will probably never reach your full potential in terms of physical development if you don't squat. However, for some people, due to anatomical constraints, their inherent structures do not allow them to squat effectively or safely. This is something that you must find out for yourself, and if so, you must find alternative exercises to develop these muscles.

    The best way to learn how to squat properly is to have an experienced lifter (not some pencil-necked 'trainer' employed by most gyms around these days, who are generally even frightened of performing concentration curls, never mind squatting) to instruct you. Failing that, you will have to refer to magazine articles or other literature. In a nutshell, this is how you should squat to put maximum stress on the thigh muscles; this is known as the 'high-bar' or 'bodybuilding' squat.
