Went to the gym today to train legs. I have been doing legs at low reps, heavy weight, ass to the floor squats, and heavy low rep leg press. I haven't been seeing much growth as hard as I have been working them. Then I talked to a guy who said he had great growth by switching to high reps and lighter weight. So instead of doing 315 for 6 reps, i did 135 for 30 reps and 6 sets. Then I did leg press with only 4 plates on each side and did 25 reps for 5 sets. By then my legs and ass burned so bad and were so tight, I couldn't hardly walk out. My stomach was turning hard. I feel like I might get some good growth if I continue this for about 6 weeks and then go back to heavy and change it up occasionally. Anyone have any thoughts on training legs at high vs. low reps? ------------------     | ||

well a fellow bro told me that when i do squats i should use a weight that i can only do then reps with.....but then go for 20. at like 15 you are ready to die and at...if you reach 20 then i doubt youll be able to do anything after that. i did that and saw results the first time i did it. id give that a try. but you have to make sure its a weight that you can only do ten reps. and then go for 20. you should almost die at 18. jor | ||

when doing the 20 rep thing I pause and take a few short breaths at the top on the last 7 reps or so. Make sure you have a spotter though. Today a did quads and started with heavy front squats and used the hack and smith machines for the higher reps. felt pretty good. | ||

Gotta mix it up every once in a while. Do lower weight/higher reps for about 4-6 weeks and switch it up. I stagnate if I don't switch it around. | ||

Personally,I don't do anything below 15 reps for legs. Whether it be squats,leg press,or hacks and my legs have blew up!! I've also seen better shape and definition because I can squeeze my quads better.-THE PROTOTYPE |
