Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Front squats are a compound exercise that works multiple muscle groups in the lower body including the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves. It is best to perform compound exercises that engage multiple muscle groups first, as they require the most energy and effort. Leg extensions, leg curls, and calf raises are isolation exercises that focus on specific muscles and are better suited for later in the workout when the target muscles are already pre-fatigued.
