Are you able to directly hit quads and hams twice per week and still recover?

Yea I have been, my legs are horrible thanks to god awful genetics, they still are, this has been the only way to get them to grow and they finally are. I can only due this while on otherwise I don't recover though.

The Squat day is heavy and lower reps, the other day is higher reps but I have found this has been working for me.

Normally the days are switched around but am playing hockey tonight so I didn't want to do a heavy leg day this AM.
 
Last night:
Squats 3 x 20 (last set a little rest pause)/355
One Legged Leg Press triple drop 3 Sets
Leg Extensions 2x down the rack
Leg Curls triple drop 2 sets, then parner assisted constant tension curls where your partner provides additional resistance through the entire leg curl.
Calf Press 100 reps

I don't need to do too much for legs, quads are 30 inches without even trying... I can thank my freakish dad for that. Of course he gave me his lousy shoulders too.
 
leg press
hack squats
leg extensions
sitting ham curls
standing calf raises

for those of you that are doing lunges, what kind of weight/reps are you using?

Id also like to go up in wieght on leg extensions, but Im already banging out the rack for sets of 15-20 reps..what now?
 
(10 sets of ten)

leg extentions
legcurls
leg press-each set heavyer then the last
hack squat-each set heavyer then the last
squat-heavey as possible (this is usually were i wanna url)

Damn I wish we could split things down the middle, half my shoulders for half your legs LOL.
 
tues:

had to mix bis in with it since i missed my workout monday morning, so i went lighter on legs to mix things up and give equal energy to both
squats 4 sets of 10
hack squats 3 sets - 10,10,8
leg extensions 3 sets - 10,10,10

didn't get very sore from this so far

Yeah... I bust my upper body like crazy... I wouldn't say my shoulders totally suck, but in comparison to my lower body, it is definitely out of kilter.

Keep hitting those legs they will grow, but I bet the hockey is really hampering leg size. I don't hink lugging around huge quads would be much of an advantage skating up and down the ice.

to be honest, I used to be worried about added size affectign my hockey as I have always been know for my speed. But after adding 40 pounds over the last few seasons my speed hasn't been affected at all. Its more fun now though as they don't expect a 250 pounder to be able to fly around them LOL.

I could barely frontsquat 95# for 7 reps.
Never made it past 8 plates on the ALP.
Extensions (not past 100#), standing leg curl (not past 30#) and seated leg press - not past 175#.

3 sets of each movement barely making it to 12 reps. 15 sets total

6 sets of seated calves (didn't make it past 80#) supersetted with standing raises no weight to failure.

There is always next week. :(

For a while, I threw in a second, lighter leg day and noticed some great developement. I might do that again some time.
 
Squats:

2 warmup sets
4 work sets 145x8 deep.

1 set of leg press

2 sets extensions
2 sets curls
1 set absuctor machine
2 sets adductor machine
3 sets seated calf
 
Not my "last workout," but I always incoperate this into my training every so often. I can't do this all the time. This completely exhausts my legs, and usually is under an hour.


Thighs

(supersetted all 3 exercises)

4 sets total w/ everything. I change the order in which I start every set, w/ a different machine or exercise I "start" on. (ie:squats/leg ext./hacks---hacks/squats/ leg ext., ect...) All sets are until failure, but the goal is to get at least 6,8, or 10 reps generally around. This rep scheme, is considered, depending on where I am at in the workout. Weight is moderate, to lighter. Something I feel I can handle with good form comfortably. My main concern is quality.

Free-bar Squats (135-225,50+lbs)
Hack Squats(135-225lbs)
Leg Extensions (60,80,100, or 140lbs)

(Added After):Sissy Squats *I use a rope tied to a pole, or a smith machine with very little weight, if any. Just going for the contraction. I feel this exercise is one of the best overall finishing moves for my legs.

The weight I am using, all depends on where I am at in the workout, and what I can handle at that point. All exercises are done with no rest in between each, and until failure with some assisted forced reps. Only time I take a break at is when I break down this into sets. All 3 exercises are done all together 4 times, as four total sets.


Hamstrings

(usually I am dead at this point, and have had a lot of indirect ham work from Squatting, so I feel this works best for me.)

Smith Machine Stiff Leg Deadlifts (10-75lbs)
lying down Reverse Curls (40-150lbs)
Standing Reverse Curls (40-120lbs)

2-3 sets total

All until failure, assisted forced reps, and all with weight I can handle for quality form (6,8, 10 reps at least). At the end of my workout, I sometimes strip down a few sets if I feel I can still handle something extra.


This is really a tough leg workout for me, and work very well to completely exhaust your/ my legs. I usually can barely manage to limp out of the gym afterwards when done right. :worried:

I walked just over a mile around campus (running errands) in 4.5" stilletto heels. :)

Unless college has changed a lot, there were probably at least a dozen guys who skipped class to follow you.
 
Probably not. It was 6:30pm (so all the kiddos are gone and it's just the working adult students) and it was pouring rain. :)
 
DE Lower, 04-21-04

Still pushing pretty hard. Felt pretty good today (couldn't be worse than Sunday and Monday...lol). Only one more squat session left now before contest day. Was told that the squat event in St. Louis will be HEAVY...which is a good thing. :)

PLEASE RIGHT CLICK AND "SAVE TARGET AS!!!!"
PLEASE RIGHT CLICK AND "SAVE TARGET AS!!!!"

Box Squats
405 + heavy bands x 2 x 5 sets (45 sec rest between sets)
set 1
set 5
495 x 1
585 x 1 PR!!!!!
I did 585 x 1 with NO bands last Fall (pre-injury too).
Still losing my arch off the box, must be fixed after the contest.

Deadlifts
140, 230, 320, 410, 500 x 1
590 x 1
623 x 1
The 623 is a post-injury PR...still don't feel ready to pull heavy again.

Pull Throughs
Heavy band x 10 x 4 sets (45 sec rest between sets)

Band Ham Curls
light band x 20 each leg
mid band x 10 each leg
mid band x 6 each leg

Reverse Hypers
BW x 6 x 2 sets
light band x 6 x 2 sets

Light calves, abs, and grip work.

Tire Drag
350 tire x 50' x 6 sets with 60 sec rest between sets (worked to "near puke")

Not a bad workout at all. I am feeling bigger and stronger, especially in my back, hips, glutes, and hams. Last Fall I could put on my squat briefs with ease and when I put them on a few weeks ago it took me a while to get in them. I am getting thicker through the posterior chain...love it!!!!

Enjoy!!!!

I dropped leg exts cause they were effing up my knees.

Leg extensions have to be done carefully, squeezing the weight up but not hyperextending the knee, and then releasing the muscle or using the hams to pull the weights back down making sure not to drop the weight at the bottom of the movement. Too many people do them too fast or too heavy for them and end up injured...
 
-first day-
squats
legcurls
leg extensions

2nd day-
leg press
calve raises
lungeuso

I've been doing some pretty intense cardio for a few months now...and it SUCKS!!! Hopefully my heart and my conditioning will thank me for it.
