Suggestions of gaining leg size...?

I just got back from trying to incorporate this all into a new leg day.

I kept the 5 x 200 yard sprints. They don't tire me at all and act as a great warmup prior to working legs. Also, the walk from the park to the gym is so long I fully rested when I get to the gym.

Squats

4 X 5
1 X 20

hack squats
3 X 6-15 (I had trouble finding my right weight after doing squats... so I had a wide rep range. I was aiming for 8.)

Leg Press

2 X 20

I also tried working a couple sets of lunges... but I am so far from being able to coordinate the movement that I'm not counting them. I'm just going to keep doing them at a couple sets a workout for form... non existant weight till I have the balance.

Straight leg deadlifts
3 x 8

leg curls

3 x 20

Calves 5 sets never matters what.

It may not look like a lot... but my legs are fried.

The best way to put size on your legs is to work out with B Fold. I've put .5 inches on my thighs and .25 inches on my calves in the past 5 weeks working out with him .

Nice job, SofaGeorge! How did the squat sets work for you?

The best or fastest leg growth I have ever experienced is in the past 3 months since starting WSB training... I have been trashing my hamstrings with glute ham raises twice per week and they have seemingly doubled in size... So make sure your hitting your hams as hard as your quads since they do make up half your leg size.....

I grow well on WSB too.

...and I'm rarely "crazy sore."

Ass to the floor every set... and then I had to walk a mile home after my workout.



I started doing ATF squats after reading a number of posts here. I used to go parallel. Doing them high weight low rep is definitely brutal.

I think that following them up with the 20 rep sets on the leg press is the true combo killer.

Also, it was really valuable to get the high rep leg curl suggestions. I've NEVER trained my hamstrings high rep... definitely an interesting variation... and makes me feel safer after having had a hamstring injury.
