Leg day

[stormin67]

Is it just me or does anybody else not realy look forward to leg days. Not that I hate them, I just don't enjoy walking around like a duck the next day cuz I am soo sore.

With Starr's 5x5, my legs have seen great gains. And with the frequency, never get sore. So I really enjoy squats now...

You are probably not working out right. My legs never hurt, they are fatigued often, but never sore. If I had to guess, I would say you were currently doing a split with 1 lower body day and the rest focused on chest/back/arms.

Instead of a 'leg' day where it might look something like squats, leg press, hack squats, calves - try employing a frequency over volume approach where you squat and do auxiliary work 2x/week and break up your workload so that you are never really 'sore' per se and can get more sessions in over a longer period of time without the extended 1 week layoff in-between. 5x5 is a great way to approach this.

i love it. but that because i think the most impresive look is huge quads and a massive span across the upper back. squatting & pulling are all that matters.

Thank's. Good advice.
