[Aragorn]

Let me know what you have that includes squats first, that's all I ask ....I'll do the workout tonight and let you know how it was...

Legs

Mine at this time is simple but very effective...

Though it involves heavy as shit weights for low reps, cause at this time I am focusing on really bringing up my strength..

I know most people say legs get better results from high reps...to them I say nay...my legs dont get sore at all training with higher reps, but get sore as hell with lower reps...

My current leg routine, I train legs once every 5 days, so the volume may seem a bit low, but keep in mind I hit legs every 5 days..

Squats: 3 warm up sets, 2 sets to failure 4-6 reps
45 degree leg press: 1 warm up set, 2 sets to failure 4-6 reps
Leg extensions: 2 sets to failure 4-6 reps

Lying leg curls: 1 warm up, 2 sets to failure 4-6 reps
Seated leg curl: 1 set to failure 4-6 reps

Stand smith calve raise: 1 warm up, 2 sets to failure 4-6 reps
Seated calve: 1 set to failure 4-6 reps

Thats it, remeber to KISS, keep iot simple stupid, dont try to make your routines to complicated, I have found out first hand that can bite ya in the ass...

man you lift really late Aragorn......I could never do that and then sleep.

I lift around 8:30pm here and I kept it quite simple with 8 sets of below parallel squats...followed by leg press....ham. curls and calf raises.

If you're wondering about deads...they come on back day.

Mines as follows
Leg Ext's 5 sets to warmup
Leg presses 4 sets 8-12
Hack squat same as above
DB lunges
Leg ex's 4 sets 12-15 reps

all reps controlled and slow!!

SUMMO DEADLIFTS !!squats and hack squats all you need .my favorite srip sets every few weeks ive had awesome results.i strip set primarily with leg press 3 sets to failureALL OUT!!!!

[Aragorn]

I need to do more then 3 sets for my legs as I do at least 3 warmup sets to fire up my legs...and that's with the basic exercises...leg extensions I might do fairly light to burn the acid out of them for the night.

How about next time try lifting HEAVY! Wimp:p
Joking aside how about something like this:

Warm up

3 sets of 4-5 ass to the floor squats to failure. Now when I say to failure, I mean that on your 5th rep your drive up should be almost failing, it will require you to use everything in your reserves. As for safety just set the pins so that if you can't make it up you can just roll the bar off your back onto the pins with ease in the bottom position. That's why the cage is so handy for squats.

By now your legs should be jello, so stagger over to the leg extension machine and do 4 sets of these babies. Start with 8 reps, 12 reps and then two sets of 15 reps. Going by the theory of fibre typing you would have hit all your fibre types with this routine.

And if you ever decide to use gear I can almost swear to you that low reps will make your legs grow like weeds.

Yesterdays...

Heavy Box squats with bands and chains
Reverse band deadlifts
Pull throughs
Hypers

Im toast today.

[Aragorn]

Thanks maki...I'll do that next week in the cage...you and I should hit a workout together.

Billy, I'm guessing your a powerlifter with your lifting techniques...if you can shed a little more light on your workouts I'd be more then will to try it out.
