3 main exercises to exercise the quadriceps

The quadriceps are one of the largest muscle groups and are also more difficult to train well. During training, muscles will feel sore and tired, and many people will choose to give up and continue training.

Train every other day to give your muscles 48 hours of rest.

Usually eat more foods rich in animal protein and plant protein. Food rich in animal protein include beef, chicken breast, fish, venison, etc. Food rich in plant protein are soy products, such as tofu, bean skin, bean sprouts, and soy milk. Yes.
