If I do 4 sets of squats and hack squats, and 3 sets of leg extensions is that enough?

Get a new gym

Or...

I'd add some lunges in there. That'll give you a nice burn all around, as well as some Romanian Deadlifts. Leg Press works more than the quads, so make sure you get everything evened out.

who cares?? you don't need a leg press.

Well, you don't "Need" a leg press, but it's definitely a great machine to build mass.

So is my rutine fine?



Posted by: P-funk

do some SLDLs, good mornings, leg curls.....something for the hammies!!



Posted by: ihateschoolmt

Hammies is on back day, dead lifts and leg curls.

Deads hit the quads a bit too, unless they are rack deads which removes the legs from the job.

Olympic squats, hack squats, lunges, and unilateral squats are all effective quadricep centric exercises.

SLDLs, Romanian deadlifts, good mornings, and glute ham raises are all excellent hamstring dominant exercises.

Most people seem to do more work for their quadriceps for no good reason. However, having disproportionately strong quadriceps relative to your hamstrings opens one up to injury.

i agree with most...you dont need a leg press.

Leg Press is fun to play with, but squats are the real deal.
