Have you ever spent minute after minute in a DEEP horse stand or front stance? Your quads are on fire. I was taught that ancient martial artists used these stances to strengthen the legs because they didn't have dumbbells, olympic bars and 45 lbs plates. I grew up with TKD and NEVER used those stances in a sparring match, keyboard warrior.
