Legs!!!!!!!!!

[JKurz1]

Legs in about 3 hours and I'm not looking forward to training them AT ALL! DId cardio this anm which was dumb......anybody have a good routine? I need to get out of the 5x5 for today cause my lower back has been drivimng me insane since deadlifts on Tuesday..........damn........I think legs respond better to high reps/sets anyways........whatdayathink?

Your legs might, mine don't. Do a set of 20 rep squats and then sprint.

How can you not look forward to leg day? Its my favorite. The most brutal of any day. I really feel good, like I have accomplished something, on my way home from the gym.

Question: when was the last time you took a break?

Legs respond to high reps/sets? I wouldn't set that statement in stone. Especially when there are so many factors that dictate how a individual should train (no matter what the bodypart).

I've been training legs via higher volume of sets - not reps. This is due to the fact that we train legs specifically once every week. And my goal is to increase my leg strength/mass. Training with just high reps wouldn't do that for me; so we fluctuate. Somedays, we lighten the load (on squats) and work on explosiveness. But our reps never travel above 12.

That's something you could do: work on explosiveness. I don't know what you've been doing for your legs. I'm assuming squats? Have you tried any of the other squat variations?

And now that I look at the time...is this a waste? You're probably training right now............

Mine respond to either high or low reps so I alternate now Calves I have to go high, simply a matter of equipment limitations. Nice avatar spatts... your legs are almost as sexy as mine.

Biglift, you don't have a quote. Maybe she is refering to something else?
