What is testosterone? Why are all the fitness café s practicing their legs?
Most people may only pay attention to their chest muscles, back muscles, abdominal muscles and arm muscles as soon as they enter the gym, all for the sake of looking good. Because of this idea, very important lower limb strength is often ignored by everyone. In the process of fitness, without the support of lower limb strength, you can't coordinate your movements well when you complete upper limb strength.

At the beginning of leg training, it is possible to start shaking when you try a few small-weight instruments, let alone try a heavy one. Why do many people choose not to practice leg muscles when exercising? First, they can go out and show off because they want to concentrate on practicing upper limb muscles. Second, practicing legs is really tiring and bitter. You can't underestimate the hard work of practicing your legs just because you are in good health. When you really start practicing, it may be one thing whether you can get out of bed the next day after the training intensity increases.

The benefits of leg exercise are simply too many. First, strengthening the strength of lower limbs can promote the training of your upper limbs and make your body more coordinated, instead of the upper limbs looking strong but unable to find the center of gravity. Second, a man's leg exercise can increase the body's testosterone, which plays a key role in a man's ability. Third, it can also reduce the damage. Can reduce the probability of leg muscle strain.

Next, I would like to introduce some commonly used and iconic leg movements to you.

1, barbell squat

This is one of the most iconic movements in leg training. When doing this, your legs should be shoulder-width apart and your back must be straight. When squatting, make your thighs parallel to the ground, pause after reaching the position, then stand up and return to the ready posture. You can train with a small weight at first. If you want to try heavy weights, you'd better get a belt and exercise in a place with protective bars, or you need two people ready to protect barbells at any time.

2, dumbbell squat

Feet apart, slightly wider than shoulders. You can master the weight of dumbbells in your hands, and you can also do some dumbbell movements of upper limbs while squatting according to your personal hobbies. Squatting is the same as squatting. When squatting, the thighs should be parallel to the ground.

3. Sit and flex.

The apparatus for flexion and extension of legs in sitting position can be pedaled or lifted with legs. You can choose the equipment according to your personal preference. However, whether pushing or lifting, the legs should be in a straight state when completing the action. When your legs are straight, you should pause for a while, and then slowly retract the prepared posture. Personally, I suggest starting with a small weight, because you have to do several sets of training, and it is impossible to do a set of heavy legs to start shaking and then end, so exercise will not play any role.
