Tip For that Teardrop Quad
Focus on toes pointed out leg extensions
and partial squats utilizing the top half of the movement. Full squats with chains and high box squats also are good options.
“The researchers had 10 males perform the
squat jump while measuring the muscle activity of the vastus medialis
(teardrop) and vastus lateralis (outer quad muscle) using electromyography
(EMG). They reported in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports &
Exercise that during the first half of the squat, the muscle activity of the
medialis was about 20 times that of the lateralis, while in the lower half of
the squat the muscle activity of the medialis and lateralis was about equal.”

Bigger Bench Press with Repboards, Chains and Bands
I figured I would leave this one to the experts. Watch them all you will be better for it. I loved adding chains and bands to my workouts. Curling a barbell with bands attached is just crazy hard!
Watch the last one on the list to learn how to build your own set of chains.
