How long do you guys spend training legs???

[Surgical]

Maybe I just need to lighten the load a little, as far as number if exercises. I can lessen the number of sets per exercise to 3 sets.

I guess I was going by the Lee Priest theory of 20 sets per body part. But he's a lot more advanced and has worked up to that regimen. I guess lowering the number of sets and exercises would allow me to go a little heavier than normal because I'm not expending so much energy on other exercises.

Anyone believe the Lee Hany and Arnold theroy of working calves up to 6 times a week? I've increased my calves to 2 times a week and noticed a dramatic difference.

OK Here is my formula for getting 28 inch legs in a matter of 3 months while off cycle!

Workout time: ~30min
Warm up: Leg extensions supersetted with Leg Curls 5 x 15

Now for the workout:
Squats: Full range of motion. (Deep Squats)

135lbs 1 set of 20. Moderate speed. (rest and sretch)

185lbs 1 set of 15.

225lbs 1 set of 20 or till failure. Perform this set
Using the rest pause method to force
more reps after failure.

That last set will be so intese that i would start to get tunnel vision and light headed. When done i would just stagger out of the gym into my car. After a few weeks i would use Full range of motion with 315. By that point my legs were huge. Pumper they were over 29 inches.

I always had troule getting my legs to grow. My squat would never get any higher than 265 for 4. Legs were puny even when cycling. So i started doing this routine out of laziness because i had written my legs off as a lost cause and i figured, "hell i will just devote a half hour to them and 1 work set". Well guess what, i stumbled onto something there as my legs blew up, and my strenght went throug the roof. So basically it was the HIT routine. I did not even know i was using it. But boy it worked Big time. I was literally making strenght improvements EVERY workout, and this was a month POST CYCLE, no clomid, no hcg, nothing just tapered down.

i train quads by themselves: 3 sets leg extension to warm up, 5 sets squats in smith machine, 4 sets leg presses legs respond to higher reps in my case 10-15 reps for most sets... two-three days later hams (along with another small bodypart) 4 sets leg curls doing 1 and a halfs-1 rep go 1/2 way back then back up again thats one repthey work next stiff legs or good mornings u have a choice 3 work sets after warm up and occasionally leg presses with your feet high only your heels on the plate reps a little lower than with quads 6-12. this split works trust me i had no legs until i switched to a split with legs

I do squats, leg presses, calf lifts thats it. I still feel it 3 days after leg day so I think I am doing some good work (legs are one of my better parts) I do 3 sets of each and 6-8 reps per sets as heavy as possable while keeping good form

Thats exactly how I feel mustang. My legs have always grown well and after a typical leg day I am whiped out completely and feel it for days.

 

[Lift or Die]

I trained legs first thing this morning. Took me about an hour and 15 minutes. Started with very light leg extensions to warm up.

4 sets of hack squats
5 sets of leg presses
5 sets of leg extensions
4 sets of standing hamstring curls
4 sets of stiff leg deadlifts
Usually sore for about 3 or 4 days

I train calves twice a week on different days from legs.

 

[jayjay24]

hour to an hour and a half. I really like to tackle all the machines on leg day and hit every leg muscle. If I'm not having trouble walking the next day then I didn't have a good workout.

Legs take the longest for me... about an hour.

4 sets laying down hammy curls
4 sets standing iso hammy curls
4 sets hecsquat
4 sets leg press
4 sets leg extensions...

It seems like alot, but it goes by rather quickly.... and for those wondering about my calves, I split them up about 2-3 days a week on other days. My upper legs are shaking too much by the end of my leg workout to stand and do calves.
