Quadriceps exercises
Squats, presses and extensions, with the head each variation loads.
Quadriceps exercises
Squat variations differ in where the load falls: bar position, depth and stance width change how much the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis and rectus femoris do. Every entry names the primary muscle, so a plan for someone with a cranky knee can move between variations instead of cutting volume.
