Jeff Nippard’s four tried and tested exercises to build quad muscles

Before we start talking about his four scientifically proven workouts, he advises people to “save these for when you got some serious demons to fight.” Well, Nippard began with Smith machine squats with a quirk. Forget about going heavy right off the bat; these babies are all about the long-length partials. Picture yourself hanging out in the bottom half of the squat the entire time. Yeah, it’s tough, but the burn is worth it.

Furthermore, let’s talk about reverse Nordics. Say goodbye to your standard leg extension machine because this move takes things to a whole new level. Loop a band around a squat rack, kneel, and lean back while keeping those hips straight. How low can you go? Push yourself and feel those quads scream in delight.

In addition, don’t let the name fool you – sissy squats are anything but easy. Grab a cable for balance, and as you lean back, rise onto those toes and let those knees come forward. Worried about your knees? Studies say this move makes them stronger, so squat away!

Lastly in his list, he included Smith machine deficit split squats. According to the 32-year-old, these aren’t for the faint of heart. With these four exercises, you can also add four quats techniques into your routine for optimal growth.

Nippard shared a perfect squat checklist on Instagram. For high bar squats targeting quads, place the bar on your upper traps. If you prefer focusing on the glutes and lower back with a low bar squat, shift it a bit down. Step efficiently with just three steps—clear the rack, match the other foot, and adjust if needed.
