I did hella hill sprints on a steeper hill yesterday. Then I went jogging off the park trail before I realized I was lost (my spotify list was too good). I had to walk for an hour to find my way back. I took some Epsom salts in my bath last night but today

Want bigger Quads then hit up some heavy ass Fronties all day!
Back squats can do the trick too... but you will need to alter your stance i.e.. from wide/ at shoulder width to more narrow to hit your inner abductor/quad (tear drop) region more!
Sunday evening I didn't fancy the stress & sissification of a 'commercial gym' I had enough with the pansy protocols ...stupid p*ssyboi rules like:
- Don't drop the bar but instead try & caress your dead-lifts gently onto the ground
- Carry a Towel at all times otherwise you will get a formal warning
- Do not use chalk around the racks & bars as it causes a hygiene inconvenience to other lifters
- Interrupting my working SET Squats talking about "Don't forget to sign up to our 2 minute press ups challenge for a chance to win a free Protein Shaker"
- THE WORSE ONE is this new new 90 minute parking restriction in the car park..... when you enter your gym access pin on the door you gotta input your car registration to get the parking allowance otherwise some nigerian bruddah comes around with the
face leaving a hefty ass penalty (~1$28) nested in your fukking windshield wiper.
So naturally I did my Gogglesssss & found this gritty ass gym not far from my area (12-15 mile drive)....I had been dabbling with the idea of re-learning some self defence alongside a serious strength regimen & its safe to say I hit the jackpot finding this old school 24/7 warehouse converted into a gym brehs! Proper cast iron weights, Old school machines (Body part specific like Calf & Shrug raise machines, GHR stations etc) ..endless squat racks & cages & the best part is that the other half the warehouse is a mixed martial arts/ boxing gym complete with a ring. Its also got this cool ass commando circuit obstacle course laid out at the back. Anyway pics below... can't wait to resume back some decent MMA style training
. I'm still holding onto the commercial gym membership for a little while. Looking to go there & wow some female heads after spending 3-4 months in this joint!Main Gym Floor...

Back. You can lift more in poundage. Front squats do stress your quads more, more but you can't lift as much. If you can back squat 315, there's no way you can front squat 315. You can mix it up though, nothing wrong with that.
He wants thicker quads tho not more poundage
For thicker quads better to mix it up... not muscle confusion shyt, but just hit the quads with different rep ranges, weights and movements
IMO back and front squats together in 1 program covers the gamut

...
do those flavored BCAAs taste decent? or at least not terrible?
I bought the plain shyts a year ago and wanted to
the first time I tried em. Stopped using them all together after a few tries

What I was getting at was if you are in a mass gaining cycle, workouts where you are doing high weight/low rep leg exercises, you can attain more mass from back squats because you can lift more in poundage than front squats because your body is spending less effort in holding the bar up in the back squat compared to a front squat. Getting in a 315 lbs. in a one-rep max will trump getting in a 225 lbs. one rep front squat when it comes to growing quad muscle mass. If you are freak and can perform a front squat with the same weight as a back squat, more power to you.
Anyone else can offer their opinion or smush my opinion if you think/believe/experienced otherwise.
