1. PLAY NICE - Staying loose is super important in training quads. That means elongating the muscles first by stretching. You don't often see a lot of huge guys stretching, but pros like Mike Matarazzo and Flex Wheeler made stretching a part of the beginning of each leg routine. Not only does it elongate, it engorges muscles with blood. The more you stretch, the more blood goes in. Start with quads and then move to hamstrings.

Q: I am 6’4” and weigh 190 pounds. I’ve been reading Bodybuilding Today for awhile now, and haven’t seen anything that addresses my question. Do I need to train my legs differently than other guys (under 6’) because of my height? Someone told me that I did have to, and another person told me that I should give up becoming a bodybuilder! What do you think?

If you have a well-developed back, then you already know the importance of barbell rowing. It’s essential for developing thickness in the upper back, and for lats that can best be described as ‘flaring’. Barbell rows are popular, but there are times when they are rendered ineffective because the bodybuilder uses too much weight, or allows their body “English”, or swing, to move the weight. Emphasis is taken off of the upper back muscles, and growth doesn’t occur as it should. Years ago a bodybuilding and health & fitness legend named Vince Gironda devised a new exercise which is still used today by bodybuilders seeking a well-developed back. This exercise is known as Gironda Rows, and allows the bodybuilder to lie completely parallel with the ground and truly stimulate the muscles of the upper back without allowing for cheating.

There’s an old adage that reads, “The best bodybuilding body part split for you is the one you’re currently NOT using.” The human body is a remarkably adaptable machine, and adjusts very quickly to repetitive motions and scheduled tasks. It’s very likely that if you’ve been using the same body part split for months or even years, you would benefit tremendously from a change.
