Leg Triceps?

[edit]

In the article it says: 'In body building communities, this muscle is colloquially referred to as the "leg triceps"', however I have never heard that phrase. When talking of the body building community, I think it is generally accepted that what we're really talking about is all the guys who go to the gym regularly with an interest in building a lot of muscle, not just those who's interest is in keeping fit, and not specifically those who actually compete (which would be a huge minority compared to all the gym 'bros'). It may well be that serious/ competing bodybuilders or sports scientists refer to the muscles in question as the leg triceps, but to me they are known colloquially in English-speaking countries as 'the quads'. Does everyone else agree? Jaydash — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.6.158.151 (talk) 09:12, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Completely agree, also the source does not mention "leg triceps" at all. Strange thing to include.

Quadriceps femoris muscleQuadriceps – Per WP:COMMONNAME, WP:CONCISE, and WP:CONSISTENT for consistency with similar articles that are titled by their common name such as Biceps and Triceps. Rreagan007 (talk) 02:50, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

which have no valid rationale in terms of wp:AT. Hopefully this will lead to stability. Andrewa (talk) 04:29, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Training

[edit]

The article briefly mentions squatting, leg pressing and leg extension as possible training methods for the quadriceps, which is correct. But it does not mention running and cycling - which also stimulate the quadriceps quite intensely. Shouldn't we include a reference to these forms of exercise?

Strange sentence in introduction

[edit]

The last sentence in the intro paragraph is grammatically incorrect, randomly refers to 3 porn stars, and is not relevant to the article:

"It is used by nearly every famous people. eg, Mia Khalifa, Lana Rhodes, Angela White, etc." 151.95.70.151 (talk) 15:24, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, sorted now. Moons of Io (talk) 15:26, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
