With those two bullet points in mind, Bennett goes over four exercises he thinks are essential for building large quads and hamstrings without needing to do a bunch of unnecessary movements on your next leg day. Prioritizing machines over free weights for the benefits of more targeted muscle activation, Bennett eschews some pretty big golden geese in favor of single-joint isolation. He also provides coaching on these seemingly simple movements to help you really turn on the muscle fibers of your legs to eke out all the gains you can. If your goal on leg day is to build more muscle and bust out some tape-measure gains, consider swapping in these four targeted exercises the next time you head to the gym.

And this article is the perfect place to start. The only equipment youâll actually need is a kettlebell (duh) and a watch, clock, phone, or other means of accounting for time (somehow, you will manage). You donât need to learn a bunch of fancy new exercises; if you have access to a kettlebell, you probably already understand the rudiments of swings, squats, and one-arm presses. You will need just a little bit of grit and motivation to get through the circuit, but the design is fluid enough to account for everyoneâs level of fitness (just moderate intelligently).
