here's something I'm doing right now

overhead squats 2x5 - more like a warmup
Jump shrugs 2x5 (like a jumping deadlift, feet should leave the ground by at least 6 inches - use about 30-50 % of your deadlift max )
Clean pulls 2x5 about 25% more than your power clean poundage
Back squat 2x6
Front squat 2x6
Jump squats 1x6
reverse liunge and sideways lunge complex 2x6 each direction.
glute ham raises on the floor 2x6

reverse hypers 3x15 at end of the workout to flush the lower back with blood and to polish off the hamstrings

I don't bother with calf work, they get big from the above - especially the jump shrugs and clean pulls, since you thrust your ankles to full extension.

Try doing 10 sets of 10 for squats. I've done it a few times and it nails the quads.

I pyramid up in weight for 5 sets taking 90 seconds between sets, then for the last 5 i drop weight in increments which will allow 10 reps but only take 45-60 seconds between sets. Your quads cry for mercy.

It's just something i throw in every now and then.

ARghhh

If I see Leg press and extensions in the same workout as squats again I'm gonna kill the red squirrel!





Its like running a marathon, and then doing a few 1000m races afterwards just for fun

you could try db squats. just pick up some heavy dbs and let them hang by your side.
