Squats only on leg day

[the.gladiator1987]

Has anybody tried this? I hurt my groin and anything other than squats hurts my groin.

I also just started a cycle and i need to work out legs. Im thinking I can do jus as many sets for squats as i would have for all the other exercises, and then calves. Any suggestions?

Squats alone can develop fantastic legs. Imo if you're doing squats and deadlifts all you need is leg curls and calf raises to get a solid pair of legs. Maybe this wouldn't cut it for a serious competitor, but I've got solid ass legs genetically and they get more pronounced with lifting and all I really do is those exercises.


Look at olympic weightlifters as well. Most of them have great lower bodies. Pretty much just all squatting movements on every lift they do.

I'd probably start off working up in weights to your heaviest set. Then rest abit and do like 5x10 with a weight you can just handle for those sets and reps only giving yourself a minute rest between each set. This will kick your ass.

Or do 5x10 front squats the same way.

You'll feel it.

what else would you realy need besides squats?...

Squats then maybe close stance front squats.

Fronts blast my quads unlike any other exercise. As much as I enjoy squats, I'd get bored with them fast.

when i said all you need are squats i wasnt being all inclusive to back squats...
mondays i do back squats
fridadays i do front squats
and most workouts (mwf) i do pistol squats with weight...

calves, hammy's, and the front of the lower leg also should be worked out on leg days.

start out with deads or squats. then go from there.
