Leg Night....any suggestions?

[gymtime]

I've been hitting legs pretty hard over the last several weeks. I only do them once a week, but I get the most out of it.

I'm thinking of going easy tonight, not because of any injury or feeling weak, simply because I think it might be a good idea to give them a break.

Any thoughts on this? Suggestions for what to do?


FYI...normal leg night:

Squats
Hacks
Lunges
Curls
Exts
Stair Stepper (20 mins)

I tried 20 rep squats for the first time last week. I used 225 and DAMN!! What a pump! I promptly ran to the bathroom and puked.

Stiff leg deads are the best for hamstrings! Not much weight required
Since I was trying to cut the legs up
I did
1. Superset Squats + Leg Presses
2. Curls
3. Lunges
4. Stiff Legs
5. Donkey Calf raises

This was murder...

yeah, stiffs are one of my favorites. i try to include them on every leg day. i hella burn in my hams and my glutes. sometimes i like to go heavy with them. but like gjohnson5 said, it doesn't take much weight.
