@davis.diley: You may be a little surprised by some of this info. Read this explanation👇🏼 Yes, you can experience some regional growth in the hamstrings & quads depending on what end of the muscle you’re training it from. For example: The hamstrings cross both the hip and the knee. When you do deadlifts (Hip extension) you can see more growth higher up on the hamstrings, closer to the hip — For leg curls (Knee flexion) you can see some preferential growth down lower, closer to the knee. This was cool for me to learn recently👆🏼 Also, yes, the calf works on leg curls. The first 15° of knee flexion (Top of the curl) is performed by the gastrocnemius. The degree which at will actually grow from leg curls I do not know Hopefully this guide helps you know how squats, deadlifts, leg curls, leg extensions and calf raises actually target your leg musculature. ••• 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝗔𝗦𝗥𝗩 | 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗜 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿 @ASRV ••• #bodybuilding #bodybuildingtips #legworkout #quads #rysesupps
