I had an ultra balls-to-the-wall leg session yesterday. Feel free to try this for a good shocker but be prepared for a lot of pain...and being a little insane might help too.
Start with free-weight squats (no Smith machines you wussies) and a weight you will reach TOTAL concentric failure between 8-10 reps
As soon as you finish that set of squats, go straight to the leg press machine, no rest...the only time you should take between squats and leg presses is the time it takes you to walk over to it. Same deal here except fatigue around 6-8 on the LP's...total failure!! No pussing out!
Now get up and walk (if you can) straight to the leg extension machine, do not pass go, do not collect $200, no stalling, no talking to your buddy, you don't even have time to catch your breath. Leg extensions for 8-10 reps until TOTAL FAILURE. On your last rep, have your partner force you legs back to the starting position (a forced negative, if you will
) as you resist all the way through the negative range of motion.
You will be whimpering like a baby.
Repeat this for 3 more cycles, no rest at all between sets and just enough rest between megasets so that your partner can complete his run through it.
Finish off with leg curl/stiff legged deadlifts supersets, 3 sets apiece.
This is absolutely grueling and the pain is incredible. I found it was almost as taxing on my respiratory system as it was on my pain threshold. The key to doing this right is taking each separate set as if it was a stand-alone set. If you start thinking about the next set before you're done with your current one, you will subconsciously slack to preserve energy. You will also need a hardcore partner who isn't afraid of some serious self-inflicted pain.
As I said...I did this workout yesterday just as described. It was insane. People were staring at us like we were totally fucked up. The gym was so freakin' hot and humid you could barely breathe...it was a sauna. My shirt was glued to me and my eyes stung from my own sweat. I didn't puke but got quite nausious and I also got light headed a few times. My partner and me were hitting and slapping each other before the beginning of each mega-set to numb ourselves.
A truly wonderful training experience.
It was primal and brutal...try it...if you're a man.
