Exercises to Strengthen Quadricep Muscles
The quadricep muscles help extend the legs from the squat position.  They are especially important if you do a lot of lifting from the squat position.  To strengthen the quadricep muscles, stand with your feet together approximately 18" from the wall, lean against the wall and slide your back down the wall until your hips and knees are bent.  Hold this position for fifteen to thirty seconds.  If you are stronger, slide further until your hips and knees are at 90 degree angles.  Also as you become stronger, the hold time can be increased.
