30 effin sets for thighs!? I want to see some pictures of the monster thighs that this is developing! I willing to bet you 100$$ that if you were to cut your sets down to 1/5 of what you are doing now ....you will be bigger and stroinger in 1 month.

different things work for different people though...some people might grow off 5 sets...for others it may take 30. everybody's different

lol...Deepsquat I notice you giving everyone advice on this post like its gospel. We have plenty of know it alls on this board and we don't need another one. If you prefer to do six sets for legs than good for you bro.
I personally change it up every few weeks. Sometimes I'll train with more intensity and do less sets, but I am currently focusing on volume. I have found volume to work better for me. And I do get bigger and stronger every month....thats the whole point.

If someone wants to post some pics I'll be more than happy.

Oh yeah, In my opinion you are seriously neglecting your hamstrings. You have a pic of those you want to show off?

peace

I never said my advice was gospel...but look around you ...how many people at your gym have extreme size?????not many...and why????? OVERTRAINING...30 sets a bodypart does not work for 99.99999% of the population...unless you are a genetic freak ..there is no-way (and I don't care what type of drug you take ) that you can recover from soooo many sets...as I said ..post a picture...show me a before and after of how well it works.
BTW here is a photo of my hams that you requested.
PS I make my statements from observations in the gym ...not what the mags say the pros are doing

30 sets a bodypart?

Bro how do you consider legs one bodypart?

You have the
Quadracep muscle goup
Hamstring muscle group
Gluteus Maximus
Hip Flexors
Abductors
Adductors

Now if you did 30 sets for chest or biceps that would be too much in my opinion.

I also disagree with your statement about overtraining being the main reason people don't reach their goals. Although overtraining is a problem for some, most people (in my opinion) lack the knowledge and/or the discipline in weight training and nutrition. I believe most people don't know what, how and when to eat for optimal growth. Plus many people don't want "extreme size."

As for me overtraining...its an invalid statement. I am getting bigger and stronger every month. This is obviously not a symptom of overtraining.

Do I train that many sets every workout? no, but that was my last leg workout and it was good one. The hack squats, although not very "intense" definately kicked my quadraceps ass. Now when I say intensity I mean how close to failure I came.

Like I said before, I switch back and forth between volume based training and intensity based training. Its my simple way of periodization.
