Maybe this will help some others out - how about posting your secret to huge underpinnings? I am sure some of us have some good information to share to help everyone develop "Platztonian" thighs...who doesn't want them? For a switch in your leg routine, give this a shot...... 1. Squat (I know, the obvious here). But do it with a twist, instead of just throwing up as much weight as you can handle, pyramid up to your top weight for 5-6 "barely acheivable" reps. Rack the bar, strip off about 30-40% or so, take a breather then crawl back under for 3 more sets of 8 reps. These are your growth sets. This time though, keep it tight...not just tight, but rigid tight. No low back movement, no glutes, just thighs and hams. Your quads will be pre-exhausted from the previous set of 5-6 reps that they will really burn during these sets. I guarantee you'll be huffing like a locomotive just to get those 3 sets of 8 reps. I tried this routine after about a year of very limited gains, and my thighs are growing like crazy....not Platztonian yet, but now I actually like the way they fit the rest of me.....LOL.

 I love training legs. legs have their own day, i train these so hard that there isnt anyway i could put anything along side! legs are 31 inch! first i squat! heavy, low reps, failure each set, no numbers here, nothing higher than 7 or 8, no lower than 2. doing as many as 5 sets. then its leg press! again heavy, not quite max, 8 reps for 4 sets. next it's leg extensions! heavy, try to keep in the 8 to 10 bracket! finally its lying leg curl! keep the reps above 10 below 12. this is all done straight away! no standing round the gym gassing! this workout should take no longer than 45 minutes. when you train arms, remember how they feel after? you can hardly move them! well imagine if you had to walk out the gym on your hands? you would never do it, because they are so exhausted and week! well the same should be for legs! if you can walk out the gym with ease then up the intensity!

Charlie - Jes*s Chri*t! 31 inch thighs? hell, I'd give my left nut to be showing off those limbs in shorts! I am proud to have hit 27 1/2 at 5'10, having never done a cycle to date. I can only imagine what they'd do on gear....hmmmm. Sounds like a great routine, as does the post below yours - gonna give both of these routines a shot in my next few leg workouts. I'm like you, I love hate to train legs, but damn, don't it hurt so good? IP: Logged |

Sprinting is an excellent way of devloping the legs. If your tendons and liagments aren't strong then it is also an excellent way to tear them. But if all is well, sprinting in the morning... 10 sets of 30 yards, 1min between each sprint. Then leg routine in the evening will make your legs grow! If your hammies are lagging, it is an excellent way to kick start them into a new level of growth. Also burns tons of fat, while sparing muscle. IP: Logged |
