Jeff Cavaliere discusses how to build bigger legs, particularly for "hard gainers". He shares four major lessons:
1. **Squat properly**: Leave your ego at the door and focus on proper form, using a full range of motion. If needed, start with lighter weights and progress to higher rep sets.
2. **Master the deadlift**: Learn to push through your feet and use the deadlift as a cornerstone exercise to improve your squat.
3. **Train in multiple planes**: Move beyond the sagittal plane and incorporate exercises like 3D lunges to target multiple muscle groups.
4. **Use alternative exercises**: Incorporate exercises like the Bulgarian split squat to load your legs in a safer way and build strength.
Cavaliere emphasizes the importance of proper form, progressive overload, and patience in building bigger legs.
