i did mine two days ago. and i gotta say man, legs are the hardest workout of them all.
i did squats (6 sets), leg presses, some calf work, extensions and such.
but man i can actually see the smoke comin out of my quads after im down with my workout and i walk hella funny afterwards. but its worth it. i love the pain
needsize: Thanks...a guy told me the other day that I had small legs... Just because I ALWAYS wear shorts down to my knees or lower...doesn't mean that there is nothing there...
I am PROUD that everyone is including squats into their routine!! That kicks much tail!!!
My god a lot of you over train!
This is what i did on Thursday...warm up 135x6, 135x6, 225x6, 315x6 now the sets..405x6 520x3 thats it no more squats...sometimes on really energetic days 1 more set of squats at around 405 ..no belt or wraps until 500 LBS ...followed that with 1 set hacks 4 seconds up 4 seconds down (trust me this is worse then the 500lbs squat!) 1 set leg curls...
that is it ...done ! 4 working sets...sometimes 6-8 in the past ......
Tuesday was my next leg work:
1 set hacks 3...45lbs ers per side plus a 25 per side 4seconds up 4 down ....7 reps.....1 set leg extentions...4 second reps ...1 set leg curls ...4 second reps.
hurt like hell...haVE benn doing this ultra short abbreviation for only a week ...was doing 4-6 set for the last 12 weeks ...now I am shooting for less.
you guys that are doing 20 sets are not trying very hard on most of your sets
