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

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?

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