Help Thigh and quad - differences and supersetting?

[Scott Stevenson]

Hi, I’m starting FT on Monday and going for tier 1 basic.

I see on day one there is thigh, quad and ham. Are these supersetted (no idea how I would do this in my gym) or just a set then a set and then a set (only 1 set anyway in tier 1).

Also, what the hell is the difference between thigh and quad and what exercises would I be doing for them? If one say a compound like back squats and thigh say quad extensions?

This is all in the book and on the board. (Thus the purpose of both. )

Page 90 or so in the book covers zig-zagging and it's been covered dozens of times here now.

Thigh is quad, ham, adductor (and usually glute involved). Exercise that work the thigh are things like squats, hack squats, front squat, hammer strength standing squat machines, other squat variation, 45˚ leg press, vertical leg press, etc, etc, etc,

Quadriceps is that four headed muscle on the front of your thigh that connects to your patella and lets you extend (straighten) your knee, like when doing a knee extension. Thus, knee extension is an exercise for the quadriceps, as would be a smith sissy hack (I'll let you search for that one), a somersault squat, a sissy squat, variations of leg presses, etc. with the feet close, low on the foot plate a/o with heels elevated, a barbell hack squat, trap bar deadlift with heels elevated, etc.
