How about this leg routine

[BrownCat]

Just started this leg routine and would like some input from you guys

5 sets x 4-7 reps squats
5 sets x 7-10 reps goodmornings
2 sets x 6-8 reps lunges
DC calf routine

Is this too little, enough or too much?

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Too much for the good mornings. 2-3 sets of 8 reps would be fine.

i agree with tom. i think this is a good exercise selection, are you hitting legs only once a week? i'd recommend doing them twice unless you're deadlifting on another day (i would still squat twice but you'd have to change the volume to make it work).

Tom

- So 2-3 set of GM would be enough. I was doing 5 sets because I do my squats with a close stance to hit quads more so I figured I should do 5 sets to really hit the hams.

Tagio

- I do legs every six days and deadlifts on my back day so I wouldn't be able to squat twice a week.

Deadlifts and squats still manage to hit the hamstrings. Hamstrings don't need as much of a pounding as quads, in my opinion. 2-3 sets should be fine. If you really feel you want more, do 3-4 most. I wouldn't do 5, but you could get away with it.

Sounds like too much for me. I think 2 sets for deads/squats. They're brutal when done balls out.

I liked best this:

1) squats -> 2 main sets every 3-4 days
2) Deads -> 2 main sets every 3-4 days

Legs grew like crazy.
