How To Get Huge Legs

If you're an ectomorph then you probably have a hard time getting your legs to grow. It could be because you're doing it wrong or that you're not eating enough food. I'm going to assume the former for now because I have plenty of other articles detailing how to diet and you can find those just as easily.

Now, your leg is a very important part of your body and there are three main muscles that you'll want to work. You'll want to bulk up your quads, your glutes, and your hamstrings. I'll give you the top four exercises for all three:

The squat is a pretty simple lift where you put the weight on your back and squat down to parallel and then back up. This is an important lift because it can release some testosterone into your body which'll help you bulk up quicker and it is also a great lift for entire leg.

Barbell lunges are an underused exercise, probably because of the possibility of injury. They are, however, fantastic and will really help you learn to explode off your leg. These are great for runners and football players, but you have to make sure you can do them right because you'll get hurt if you can't. These are good for your hamstrings and glutes, primarily.

The leg press is pretty straight forward. It's similar to the squat except you don't use all those stabilizer muscles. I wouldn't replace the squat with it, but it's a good supplement and will help you make some gains.

The deadlift works your hamstrings (at least leg-wise). It's a very difficult lift but is also very rewarding because it also releases testosterone and will help you put on overall weight quicker than even the squat will. This is a completely necessary exercise.

While getting big legs is important, you shouldn't neglect the rest of your body because then you won't see as many gains. Follow this guide if you want to get bigger overall: click here
