Legs

Training legs means building a strong, athletic foundation. Whether you're chasing strength, speed, size, or balance — lower-body work is essential. In Volym, you’ll find exercises that hit quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves, and everything in between.

What Counts as a "Leg" Exercise?

Leg day isn’t just squats (but yes, we love squats). These are the key movers we focus on:

• Quads: Front of your thighs — crucial for squatting, lunging, and jumping.
• Hamstrings: Back of your legs — key for hip extension, deadlifts, and deceleration.
• Glutes: Technically a separate category, but heavily involved in most compound lifts.
• Calves: Lower leg — support ankle movement and balance.
• Adductors/Abductors: Hip stabilizers — often overlooked, but important.

A complete leg routine hits all these areas with a mix of movement patterns.

Popular Leg Exercises

Here are some of the top lower-body movements in Volym:

• Squats: Back, front, goblet, and split variations.
• Deadlifts: Conventional, Romanian (RDL), sumo — barbell or dumbbell.
• Lunges: Walking, reverse, Bulgarian — great for single-leg strength.
• Leg Press & Extensions: Machine-based options for quad focus.
• Leg Curls & Glute Bridges: Posterior chain isolation.

💡 Pro tip: Don’t just chase weight — work through full range of motion and control to get the most out of each rep.

Equipment for Leg Training

You can train legs hard with any setup:

• Barbells
• Dumbbells
• Machines
• Bodyweight
• Bands & Plates

Mix heavy compound lifts with isolation and single-leg work for balance and symmetry.

Final Thoughts

Leg training is tough — but worth it. Strong legs improve athleticism, power, balance, and everyday performance. Skip leg day? Not in Volym.
