First, she was seen doing a box squat weighted version. “A normal squat has better engagement on your glute muscle along with the quadriceps. However, a box squat fully focuses on the quadricep muscle and will help you lift heavier weights as compared to a normal free squat. This exercise can be both — a beginner movement for someone having mobility issues, or an advanced movement where you want to load on weights and emphasise more on quadricep muscle growth,” said Bala.

Next, she was seen acing leg press. “This focuses on quadricep muscle and helps load up heavier weights. The advantage of leg press over a squat is that it helps isolate quadricep muscles better while lowering the impact on other muscles,” Bala mentioned.

She then followed up with a hack squat. “This is also a compound movement of quadricep. Similar to a leg press, it has higher loading capacity and puts greater emphasis on quadricep muscles compared to other muscles,” Bala shared.
