Quadriceps-SMR
Quadriceps-SMR is a isolation stretching exercise using foam roll that trains the quadriceps.

Primary muscles: Quadriceps
How to do it
- Lay facedown on the floor with your weight supported by your hands or forearms. Place a foam roll underneath one leg on the quadriceps, and keep the foot off of the ground. Make sure to relax the leg as much as possible. This will be your starting position.
- Shifting as much weight onto the leg to be stretched as is tolerable, roll over the foam from above the knee to below the hip, holding points of tension for 10-30 seconds. Switch sides.
Track it with MyoAmigo
MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Quadriceps-SMR from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Quadriceps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
