BUILD BIGGER QUADS WITH THIS HYPERTROPHY PROGRAM


               You Don't Need Creativity for Quads, You Need Grit

Building defined quads is less about innovative routines and more about dedication and hard work. The quadriceps are crucial not just for their visual appeal but for functional movements like standing, squatting, and walking up stairs. To develop these prominent muscles on the front and sides of your thighs, we've designed a straightforward program that emphasizes quad exercises alongside blood flow restriction (BFR) training to speed up muscle growth.


The Power of Grit in Quad Development


Quadriceps development doesn't hinge on complex programming but on perseverance. Achieving larger quads and legs involves consistently performing heavy lifts through a complete range of motion. Introducing variety, such as deeper squats or single-leg exercises, can push your quads further, leading to more significant activation. This program offers a comprehensive hypertrophy routine that incorporates SAGA's Blood Flow Restriction Cuffs for added intensity during accessory exercises.


Embracing Blood Flow Restriction for Muscle Growth


Blood Flow Restriction training, a well-studied method, facilitates muscle gains by inducing high metabolic accumulation within the muscle, a key driver of muscle hypertrophy. Traditionally, bodybuilders might have used makeshift tourniquets for BFR, which could be unsafe or ineffective. SAGA's BFR Cuffs represent a breakthrough, providing a safe and efficient way to harness the benefits of BFR training.


Essential Movements for Quad Enhancement


  • Barbell Front Squat
  • Repeated Counter Movement Jump (CMJ)
  • Bulgarian Split Squat
  • Goblet Squat
  • Cyclist Squat with BFR
Focus on a 2-1-2 tempo for both the lifting and lowering phases of each exercise to maximize efficiency.

Required Equipment for Your Quad Program


To follow this program, you'll need:
  • Dumbbells
  • Bench
  • BFR Cuffs by SAGA

Guidelines for Using BFR CuffsIt's

recommended to use a lower limb occlusion pressure of 80% and weights at 20% of your 1RM for exercises involving BFR. Position the cuffs as high on the thigh as possible and release them between sets to ensure proper blood flow and recovery. hypertrophy quads
