Thigh exercises

[Scott Stevenson]

I have a Smith Machine, power cage, and a trap bar. I enjoy lifting at my home gym so I'm trying to come up with enough excersises to rotate.

For Loads

BB Squat
Smith Squat
Smith Front Squat

For Pump

Vertical leg press on smith
Smith Squat

In Virgin Voyage it's mostly some form of leg press or hack squats here. Which I dont have either.

I can come up with quads excersises, but other than repeating the load compounds over and over I'm kind of stumped on thighs.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

And where would a Trap Bar squat on elevated platform be placed. Would it be considered a thigh movement or more of a quad?

First thought here - just get to it. If you're stumped for exercises, you might not be quite experienced enough to run this program.

Of course the VV presumes you have a regular gym to train in. There's nothing really exotic in there, but you're maybe under equipped at home I think, esp. if you don't have DB. This CAN be remedied if you're willing to buy a few things, but that's up to you.

Goblet DB squats
Step-ups, too.

Get enough plates to set up with some Olympic DB handles and this should help immensely.
