Tony... try this after 3 warm sets go for 5 working sets of leg presses as heavy as you can go pyramiding the weight up then after the last set then do a burnout set of 20 reps with about half of your max weight (the final working sets poundage)rest about 90 seconds between sets then go to hack squats same idea then its 3 sets of 15 reps sissy squats holding a plate and finish with heavy high rep sets of leg extensions not repeat not utilizing the full range of motion so as to keep the quad under constant tension oh yeah if you haven't puked yet you should maybe superset these with leg curls...give it a shot i usually fall over at some point during my leg training...lol ------------------ IP: Logged |

Kill the leg extensions, leg press, and lying leg curls. Of course, keep the squats. Try adding some front squats and stiff-legged deadlifts to your routine. The front squat is more effective for the quardriceps than the back squat is, and a stiff-legged deadlift, when performed properly, is superior to any workout that some machine could give you. -Warik IP: Logged |

If your intense enough this leg workout should make you pass out and break your plateau Squats 1st set 75% of max @ 12 reps, 2nd set 50% of max weight 8 reps, 3rd set 50% max weight 5 reps (slow), 4th set 20 reps with a weight you can do for 10, rest between reps as needed untill you reach 20. 5th set same weight as 4th but to failure. SLDL - 1st set just bar for 12 reps, 2nd set 50% of max weight for 8 reps 3rd set 85% max weight to failure, 4th set 90 % max weight to failure. Super set calf raises with leg press, Calf raises 1st set warm up Burning out with heavy leg presses really gets my legs pumped good, and will leave you crying the next day. at the end of the last leg press set you should feel like your gonna pass out, only rest 1 min. between sets at most.

do front squats. do normal deadlifts. try a variation on foot place ment on the leg press. if you go shoulder wide move feet close about 8 or so in. it hits differently. try pointing your feet in a different way for leg ext. do low reps on back squat. and pyramid. do compound exers first. and don't do all of these at one session. use these excercises at 4 at a time. try variation on hams too. then calves. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I notice your rep range is kinda in the middle of the two ranges I use. Consider 5 x5's or 20-30 reps.I switch around between the two. If you wanta shock routine consider only squatting for an hour or so.Go by what you feel like doing each set..i.e..Last time I went back and forth between front and back squats.Try to use a set of breathing squats somewhere. You'll crawl out and won't be able to drive home or walk normal for a few days.TIP;Move your couch in next to the fridge before you try this. IP: Logged |

There's a lot of sadist's out there, judging by the responses to this topic.Here's one routine i did last month, and it fried my legs for days,its a variation from an old article by "Dr Squat" fred hatfield.Pick a weight you can barely reach 25 reps with on the squat, these will be a struggle with deep breaths in between reps.Do your 25 reps and rack the weight. One minute later do 15 reps with the same weight,rest i minute,then sets of 12,8,5 and 5.All with 60 seconds rest in between using the same weight.Seems straight forward enough, but is a killer.I doubt if you'll be able to do anything else for your legs after this.
