Working the big muscles of the legs will help stimulate your central nervous system to release higher levels of natural anabolic hormones like testosterone and growth hormone.

When performing the squat you&#8217;ll get more muscle activation if you focus on using a full range of motion and doing full squats. Granted they are a lot harder than doing partial squats, and you won&#8217;t be able to lift as heavy, but you&#8217;ll get a better muscle pump in the thighs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Isolate The Quads!<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter the squat we&#8217;re going to do leg extensions to really help bring out muscular detail in the quadriceps. For this exercise leave your ego at the door and use light to moderate weight for really strict form. Focus on squeezing your quads hard with each repetition. This will place the emphasis on the quadricep muscles &#8211; NOT your knee joints. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Stretch Out Those Hamstrings!<\/strong><br \/>\nThe next exercise is the stiff leg deadlift <em>(aka Romanian Deadlift)<\/em>, this is a unique deadlift variation that really isolates the hamstrings. Think of this exercise as stretching with weights. Keep your form nice and strict and really feel your hamstrings and glutes stretch and contract with each rep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pump Up The Thighs With Leg Presses!<\/strong><br \/>\nThe last exercise in our workout is the leg press. Now most people like to do leg presses when they are fresh and strong at the beginning of a workout. But if you save them for at the end of your leg workout, when your quads and hamstrings are already pre-fatigued, you&#8217;ll get an even bigger muscle pump in the thighs. For this one really push yourself with higher reps at least 15-20 reps per set.<\/p>\n<p>There you go, a complete leg pumping mass building workout program.
