Therefore, do not neglect the rules, you need to prepare your legs for loads.

How often do you need to do at home, in the gym

Hip biceps should be trained once a week, provided that the training is intense. The main rule: the more weight – the less repetitions per week you need to do. Otherwise, there is a risk of overstraining the muscles. This applies to basic exercises, such as traction with a barbell or deep squats.

Exercises on the back of the thigh are performed both separately and in a comprehensive training. This means that when training the front surface, a small part of the load is distributed to the biceps.

Why Avoid Smith’s Simulator
