The Quadfather pushes students to their breaking point.

Everyone has a specific body part that they tend to pour all of their focus into when they first begin their bodybuilding training. Maybe some scrawny arms made you first pick up those weights in hopes of building up those biceps. Maybe you had problems developing your bird chest and hoped to make some massive improvements. No matter what it is, there was likely some body part that was lagging at one point or another and pushed you to improve that muscle group. For many, the legs are often lacking, choosing to build the upper body instead. If that’s the case then you’re making a major mistake.

Leg day is perhaps the most important day of all when it comes to split training. That may be a somewhat bold statement to make, but when you consider the multiple benefits of leg day training it makes sense. Squats are perhaps the best exercise you can perform in the gym and is a staple of leg day. Squats not only improve your lower body, but can also boost your overall strength as well. When you consider a great deal of power in the human body is generated from the legs then you realize just how important leg day truly is to your overall development.

It’s a notion that old school bodybuilder Tom Platz knew to be true. In his prime, Platz sported some of the best wheels in bodybuilding. Now that he’s retired from the sport he’s made it his mission to impart his knowledge onto others who wish to build up their bodies. Being an expert in leg training you bet Platz emphasizes having a strong lower half and he has a number of methods to ensure his students develop some powerful wheels. Check out the video below to witness some of Platz’s extreme leg training methods.
