targeting legs

[tdidd42]

i know i am ahead of my slef but thinking about my next cycle finishing up cyp and anavar, awesome shit. i want my next to be be a bulking cycle but really only focusing on legs, i am pretty jacked up top already, the gear helps. and my legs are ok i train hard as hell but feel i need to do nothing but focus on core and legs for a bulk cycle. want to hear your thoughts on this.

1 to 2 days a week, hit squats 4 sets, i do dumbell dead lifts, regalar deadlifts, launches, hamstrings ext. leg ext, leg press. hit heavy weight 8 reps. i do uphill sprints every other week right after. they are grwoing dont get me wrong, but not nearly as fast as upper body so want to strictly focus on them while on gear. would it kill me to ignore upper body and just do legs while on a bulker?

sounds like quite a bit of leg work bro! i dont even do that much. i wouldnt ignore your upper body but i would incorporate some weak point training. i would cut back on some of that workload and increase the frequency to twice a week for legs.

what is your workout split look like?

Day 1: Chest
Day 2: Legs
etc...

 

[tdidd42]

day 1 chest
day 2 legs
day 3 back biceps
day 4 shoulders and triceps
day 5 rest
day 6 legs
day 7 rest

Im sure you are


Build a BALANCED physique by utilizing core compound lifts that will build the best base over time.

You sound like an inexperienced lifter (of course no one would actually know, because you neglected to post a single shred of background about yourself)....

A run at the beginner or intermediate 5x5 would be a great way to accustom yourself to working and recovering properly while building a good base.

look in the lifting section at the stickies

Instead of having a "leg" day, split your leg muscle groups up. Something like this:

1. chest/calves
2. Back/ Triceps
3. Shoulders/Hamstring
4. Quad/Biceps
5. OFF
6. Repeat.

work abs in there 2-3 days a week. Lower abs one day, upper abs the next, then lower etc. etc.

You legs are big enough muscles that working them in sections like this really gives you a chance to wear out the muscle in individual sections. Working just one "leg" day, your body will be taxed of energy before each muscle is at optimal fatigue.

I like this type of split though I pair mine differently. I will often use day 5 to hammer legs again if I dont feel I got a "good enough" workout in. Now I dont repeat my leg routine but instead I will do something like 5 sets of squats. I make my legs regret ever giving me a less than perfect workout.

Incorporate front squats into your routine and keep regular squats. Drop the leg presses. Pick either leg extensions or lunges to finish it off.

For hamstrings I like to do weighted hyper extensions supersetted with standing leg curls and then some stiff legged deadlifts.
