The quadriceps are one of the largest muscle groups and are also more difficult to train well. During training, muscles will feel sore and tired, and many people will choose to give up and continue training. Since a lot of fat accumulates in the quadriceps, it takes longer to exercise the quadriceps than to exercise the upper body muscles. Quadriceps training methods include: "squats", "leg presses" and "leg extensions". Do the following 3 movements, 4 groups of each, 12-15 times each. Train every other day to give your muscles 48 hours of rest.
If you want to increase muscle size quickly, drink about 50 grams of protein powder after training, shake it directly with warm water, and then drink it. Usually eat more foods rich in animal protein and plant protein. Food rich in animal protein include beef, chicken breast, fish, venison, etc. Food rich in plant protein are soy products, such as tofu, bean skin, bean sprouts, and soy milk. Yes. In order to prevent your body fat from getting too thick, you should avoid eating greasy and fried foods, let alone pork belly, beef brisket, etc., and eat less staple food.
