Walk it out for serious quad and glute size plus single leg strength.
Take a long enough step so your front knee stays over your ankle, not way past your toes.
Every stride loads one quad through a full lower-and-drive cycle, then hands the work to the other leg before the first has fully recovered, which stacks up brutal cumulative fatigue. The glutes assist on each push-off and keep your hips level as you travel. It earns legendary status in leg training because it combines single-leg strength, balance and conditioning in one long walk.
Walking lunges add a continuous forward flow that demands more balance and burns more overall, while stationary lunges are easier to control and load precisely. Walk for volume, athleticism and pump, stay planted when you want maximum weight.
Counting total steps works better than reps per leg, and somewhere between 12 and 20 total steps is a common working range. Pick a number your gym floor actually allows and keep stride quality consistent to the last step.
Nine times out of ten the stride is too short, driving the front knee far past the toes with every step. Lengthen the step so the front knee stays over the ankle, and lower the back knee down rather than lurching forward.
