Quadriceps femoris muscles, also called quadriceps, quadriceps extensor, or simply quads, are a large muscle group on your front thigh. They are one of the most important parts you need to focus on when working out as they are mostly used when walking, running, cycling and other activities that you pretty much do every day.

It’s good to have toned quads, no matter if you’re a sports person, yoga instructor, weightlifter or simply a normal person wanting to improve your body build, because they make you feel strong all throughout.

Here’s a great workout for monster quads recommended by American IFBB professional bodybuilder Branch Warren on Muscular Development:
