This is a great thread! Can't wait to see that leg workout led. Do you separate quads/hams on different days or all at once?

I'm glad you are enjoying the thread. Good catch, I did legs yesterday and forgot to log it. Because all these IF junkies cluttered my thread with their nonsense
I do quads and hams together.
Quads:
Squats:
3 sets between 10-15 reps. Weight 225-275. Kept my feet/legs parallel with my delts because it is easier for me to push my knees out (to avoid injury).
Leg press:
3 sets between 10-15 reps. Used a little wider foot stance, so I could concentrate on my upper thighs/hips.
Note* When squatting and doing leg presses if you don't control the weight and feel it on the way coming down you are wasting your time.
Hack Squats:
3 sets between 10-15 reps. I positioned my feet together to work on the sweep. I don't have bad knees, so I can get away with this technique, and it works!
Leg extensions:
3 sets between 10-15 reps. Used light weight to concentrate on my teardrops.
Note* If you do leg ext correctly with the right form and weight you will not damage your knees. I love this isolation movement.. It works wonders if you do them correctly and don't try nothing heroic.
Hamstrings:
4 sets of Romanian Deadlifts/ Stiff leg, between 10-15 reps. Did not really pay attention to the weight. I worried about form and getting a nice pump.
4 sets of machine Hamstring work. Lying curls.10-15 reps.. Controlled the weight and kept concentrating on isolating the ham by not bringing it all the way down..Brought it down enough just to barely release the tension off the muscle then brought it up again.. Kind like a rhythmic motion with constant tension..
Note* I only did 8 sets for hams because you work them doing quads and back.. No need to do more than that..
12 sets for quads and 8 for hams and I was out in 45 minutes pumped like a mofo, that's because I love to double time!
