Top 3 Quad Exercises for Tree Trunk Legs at Home
If you want bigger quads, the most useful question is not “what burns,” it is “what can I progressively overload and repeat consistently?” This video’s hierarchy is clear: squats win for real-world progression, leg extensions may target the rectus femoris better than squats because the hips are fixed, and Bulgarian split squats are brutally effective but so fatiguing that the speaker limits them to two sets. Below is a practical, science-informed look at why each exercise lands where it does, plus setup cues and safety notes for home training.
Overtraining Is Rare, Here’s What It Actually Looks Like
True overtraining is far harder to reach than most people think. This video frames training on a spectrum, from undertraining (no growth) to a sweet spot for gains, to functional overreaching (a short performance dip that can rebound higher), and finally to true overtraining (weeks or months of stalled performance with no extra gains after recovery). The key insight is that most home exercisers are not doing the extreme volume and intensity seen in studies that can trigger real overtraining. The practical goal is to push hard enough to grow, then recover hard enough to adapt.
