i have always done my leg workouts like this-

stretching, then warmup-
135x12
225x10

then 3-4 working sets with heavy weight(315-495)

leg press 3-4 sets 12-4 reps (usually like 5plates/side, 7plates/side, 9plates/side)

2 sets of leg extensions

2-3 sets straight-leg deads.

or you can go the 5x5 route which i have never done for legs, but is arguably (sp?) the best strength/mass routine you can do.

My leg workout:
Squats-20, 15, 12 reps
Hack Squats-12, 10, 8
Leg Press-12, 10, 8
Single Leg Curl-10, 8, 6
Leg Ext-Same
Stiff Legged DL-10, 8, 6

This works great for me and everyone that I've put on it.

I am a firm believer in doing heavy squats. I have got great results on my quads from doing: 5 sets of squats -reps 8-4
2 sets of leg presses reps 12-6
3 sets of leg extn reps 12-6

My squat is at around 600 lbs now.

20 reps huh!! damn i would puke after that..but your talking about moderate wieght in that case..cant see going really heavy and hitting 20 reps..but how about for the ones that have bad knees? In my case i have to do leg extensions first, then the leg press machine, at that point my knees dont have that "worn brake pad" feel to them and im good to go for the squats..but by that time..going heavy is out of the question!

its different for everyone, one rep range doesnt necessarily work as well for another person, but the one commom denominator is stick with the heavy mass building exercises like ass to the floor squats, leg press, hacks, etc, and stay away from useless shit like leg extensions
I would love to see some pics of the legs moving so much weight in this thread

 

[d3track]

squats of all variations and rep ranges seem to work for me

and my legs are in pics of members....nothing like yours yet!
btw, my lifts arent that big

learn to squat with higher reps -

5 sets of 12-20 reps, 2 x week for 6 - 8 weeks

THEN

Train legs once per week (or every 6 days if not obliged to the calendar)

Squat: (sample weight

Week 1: 3 x 5 reps @ 250
Week 2: 3 x 6 reps @ 250
Week 3: 3 x 7 reps @ 250
Week 4: 3 x 8 reps @ 250
Week 5: 3 x 5 reps @ 280
Week 6: 3 x 6 reps @ 280
Week 7: 3 x 7 reps @ 280
Week 8: 3 x 8 reps @ 280
Week 9: 3 x 5 reps @ 315
Week10: 3 x 6 reps @ 315
Week11: 3 x 7 reps @ 315
Week12: 3 x 8 reps @ 315
Week13: 3 x 5 reps @ 335....

Start week 1 with a weight that is only moderately tough. Do full reps and really control the wight on the way up and down. for example, the person above could probably do one all out set of 10 reps with the 250lbs at the begenning of the cycle. However, the results by week 13 will really blow away previous strength records.
DO NOT increase weight or reps quicker than the program, this is fast enough for safety and represents VERY decent gains after a few weight cycles.

After the squat, do ONE set of all out leg extensions with the full stack (or close to it if not yet strong enough). Try to get more reps EVERY week. Do at least 10 reps and use the whole satck as soon as you can do the minimum 10. Knees must reach lockout on every rep except the last.

Do leg curls for 3 x 10 trying to hold the squeeze (contracted position) for 2 seconds. When all three sets of ten are completed under control then incerase the weight.

If you want the calves workout then just ask...
