Are you a gym rat? Or maybe you've never been to the gym in your life? No matter what your fitness level is, it's time to put those men’s gym leggings into good use, as they're primarily designed for high-intensity training and made from performance fabric.
(We know, we know ... you've been wearing them to Sunday brunch and festivals—we all do. We’re just telling you their primary functionality.) That being said, we thought we’d provide you a list of top exercises to do in meggings gym compression pants. Also, we will reveal what each one can do for your body.
Benefits of Meggings Gym Compression Pants During Workouts
Before we begin, let's talk about why you should wear men’s training tights or compression leggings during workouts—especially on leg days. Men’s gym compression tights support and stabilize your muscles while you train by absorbing some of the strain as you squeeze your muscles.
They also increase blood flow and muscle oxygenation. This speeds up the muscle repair process and reduces muscle fatigue after workouts. One study also found that exercise compression tights make it easier to regain maximum vertical jumping ability after a workout.
Men’s gym compression pants boost the amount of oxygen your muscles receive by increasing blood flow. More oxygen means more energy and power. Men’s exercise leggings also act as a shock absorber, reducing vibrations in skeletal muscles when you run. This can help prevent muscle trauma.
1. Deadlift
A deadlift is known as the best exercise for millions of people all around the globe, and it is our top choice. It is relatively easy and simple to follow, and it has a wonderful effect on men’s bodies.
For instance, a deadlift will affect muscles on your front legs, butt, inner thigh, lower back, neck muscles, and the back part of the legs. This exercise should be a mandatory part of your workout simply because it affects all the major muscles. In addition, it releases tons of testosterone, which is something we all need.
2. Back Squat
Here we have one exercise that affects the same muscle groups as a deadlift but in a different way. While the deadlift is mostly used for the lower back, the back squat is mostly used for the legs.
All athletes should perform it regularly. They can expect to run faster and jump higher than ever before. Because it also affects legs and major muscle groups, testosterone is released in big amounts.
3. Kettlebell Swing
The kettlebell swing isn’t the same as a squat! As a matter of fact, it is something completely opposite. The kettlebell swing uses the hip-hinge movement. It is more of a cardio exercise than one used for muscle development.
On the other hand, it can help you get a suitable form, which will look spectacular once you add muscle mass. The exercise is also beneficial for glutes and can help you get more energy.
4. Walking Lunge
The walking lunge is superior since the trail leg can “step through” to the next rep. This movement trains the glutes more effectively and keeps the lift more dynamic in nature. On top of this, the knees take fewer stress forces due to the less frequent need to constantly start and stop or change direction.
5. Single-Leg Deadlift
If you want to be an athlete, you must be strong not only when operating on two legs but also when operating on one. Few leg exercises will challenge you on one leg quite like the single-leg deadlift. You’ll hone balance and coordination on this one. You will build more core strength than you think as you work to stay in balance and keep your hips square on every single rep.
6. Bodyweight Calf Raise
Stand with your toes on the block and hold onto something sturdy for support. Raise your heels to come up on the balls of your feet, and then lower your heels until you feel a stretch in your calves. This is just one way to get stronger, bigger calves.
7. Reverse Lunge
Stand with the dumbbells still in your hands and step back with your right foot. Lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the floor and your rear knee nearly touches the floor. Keep your torso upright. Step forward to return to the starting position. Complete all reps for one leg, and then switch legs for one completed set.
8. Jump Squat
Stand with the feet shoulder-width apart and squat down until your thighs are about parallel to the floor but no deeper. Jump as high as you can. Land with “soft knees” and begin the next rep. It's incredibly important to land softly and have a little bounce as you step on the ground, in order to protect the knees.
If you have a history of knee sensitivity or injury, just raise your heels to come up on the balls of your feet instead of jumping, and then go back to the squat.
These exercises will help your body release testosterone. As such, your muscles will start to grow faster. While these exercises primarily focus on your legs, they will activate your entire body in the process.
