Please post your leg routines

[saudades]

I would like to know what your leg routines look like. Legs are still a weak point for me--they're very stubborn and don't gain size easily. I'm wondering if I can find the right way to work them out to gain some size.

My leg routine really varries on what I feel like that day. I will say I squeezed out some
growth with widowmakers a while back. After my last heavy set I would strip off 1/2
the weight and do a set of 20. Believe me, that finished off my legs and I didnt
measure but noticed added size. I have been lazy latley and just doing a couple of
heavy sets without the widowmakers. Hell of a pump w/widowmakers.

3 sets of squats (medium wieght cause of bad knee)
4 sets of legpress heavy as possible
4 sets of hacksquats heavy heavy
3-4 sets of leg extensions also heavy

cant really hammer them right now cause im running a lot. Its really hard on my knees to do both. But when i do hit legs, i love doing what h8tr3d just said, just switching the order of hacks and legpress.

apparently thats not a seasonal trend. guys at my gym wear pants all year long. but they make up for it by wearing wifebeater shirts.

Yeah, it really pisses me off when a guy walks around the gym all fuckin hard when he's just not a complete package. No wheels = no respect from me, at least if you don't train em hard as fuck.

 

[BiggerStronger]

My wheels just suck...They are strong as hell but I can't get much definition or seperation there.

 

[saudades]

These are some excellent routines. I'm taking them all down, and later I'll try them out. Anyone else?

been a while since you posted your numbers, but from what I recall your lifts have gone up. especially squats.

 

[bigwick]

I didn't start seeing real development in my legs until I lowered the volume to one all out set of 20 reps with heavy,heavy weight. I used to do hack squats, smith machine front squats, and leg press all in one workout. now I rotate each exercise do one per workout with 3 or 4 warmup sets. then balls to the wall 20 reps with stupid weight. Put more size on my legs in the last six months than I did in the previous two years.

widowmakers today on leg press...hard to walk now..haha
