JOIN US IN OUR LEGS DUNGEON!!
Leg days are so important. Why? Well, we’re glad you asked.
1. You will build more muscle:
Compound moves such as squats and deadlifts which use larger muscle groups help elevate your T- Levels increasing your muscle mass & strength.
2. You burn more calories:
Did you know that your gluteus maximus (aka, your backside) is the largest muscle in your body? Probably best to not tell your girlfriend this. They won’t take it as a compliment. But there is good news regarding the size of your derriere.
Working these bigger muscles requires more energy, which means your body will have to burn more calories.
3. You won’t look like a chicken:
Seriously, it’s not a good look. 😂
You might not believe it, but your legs and core produce the majority of your power during heaving lifting.
Yes, even when you’re bench-pressing, it is your lower body that is engaged to help provide a stable platform to pump from.
If you lack conditioning, your big lifts will only get so far. Performing functional exercises, like deadlifts, however, will strengthen your legs, glutes and lower body, while developing all-over muscle and mobility.
