My Quest to COMPETE - BEAT THE DISEASE!

[Neo22]

who the hell does 25 sets for quads??? I do 3 warms, 3 wroking sets...then 3-4 set leg press...3-4 leg ext. and maybe 2 sets hacks for quads and Im fried....

I usually do about 20-25 sets for legs on my leg days easily.

about squatting 3x per week, take a look at this interview with leonid taranenko (former gold medallist)... i had posted this a while back on the training board - notice the frequency with which this guy trains:

Good interview. I like the way he almost apologises for pausing at the bottom of his squat, as though it were somehow a cheat technique.

its great but it sounds like everyone who has posted thus far has one main objective - STRENGTH...although in most cases strength = mass, sometime it doesn;t. I am interested in building a bbrs physique, increasing strength and increasing lean mass.....therefore, reps in the 6-8 range just appear more benefitial to me or am I completeing missing the boat? I trainined quads and calves yesterday....here was my routine


MONDAY OCT 23, 2006 - CARDIO AT 2.9-3.0 (20 MINUTES) ONE SPRINT AT END (I am slowly finding myself increasing the spped, i USED TO BE AT 2.8) NOT GOOD!
weight is right above 168....how long has this been now? tomorrow am I will be 170-171.....

FRONT SQUATS TO BENCH (TOUCH AND EXPLODE) 12,10,8,8,6,4,3

in the words of Ronnie Coleman: "Everyone wants to be a bodybuilder, but no one wants to like no heavy ass weights!"

strength = mass, you said it

I understand broski. When you plateau and it's time for a change, you know what to do
