QUADRICEPS

Leg day is our favorite day at the gym.

But it is very important not to waste the time and investment on the wrong job.

Here is a quick explanation of the anatomy of our quadriceps muscle:

Four-headed muscle of the anterior thigh:

• VASTUS LATERALIS

• VASTUS MEDIALIS

• VASTUS INTERMEDIUS

• RECTUS FEMORIS

  

The first three heads mentioned are attached to the femur to the patella,

The fourth muscle RECTUS FEMORIS its attachment point is higher which is in the pelvic bone and up to the patella bone.

According to the connection points of the heads, we see that everyone stretches the knee,

But in addition the fourth higher head that we mentioned does another action and that is to bend the hip,
