Adding Bodyweight Squats To Your Leg Workouts

This is a great way to help increase your work capacity and stimulate more muscle growth in your legs. In between each set of your normal leg exercises, do a set of bodyweight squats. Just 10-15 reps is plenty. What this will do is provide more muscle stimulation and extra work load for your legs without really draining your strength for your other exercises. This way you can easily get 100+ bodyweight squats in over the course of your leg workout and really help to spur on some new muscle growth.

  1. Squats should be already a main exercise for leg training! It actually is best exercise of all probably. And for skinny guys this one is needed a lot!!

  2. Hey I've got a question, Lee. So do I start my rest time after I finish the body weight squats or start right after I finish my actual workout(e.i. leg extension)

  3. I consider rest time between sets when you are not doing anything thing and actually resting. I wouldn't consider bodyweight squats rest time.
