Quads (PD Muscle Series) | PD Podcast Ep.178

When it comes to function, the quads are pretty straightforward: their main purpose is to extend and stabilize the knee—but your quads assist you in so much more during your day-to-day and are especially important as you get older. Join us as we dig into training your quads correctly, how strong quads can aid in good posture, and our favorite exercises to bias the quads!

And as promised each week—don't forget to sign up to receive a FREE quads sheet. Give it a read, save it to your phone, and take notes!

As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Be sure to like and subscribe and leave us a review if you loved this episode!
