Stay in the 8-10 rep range.
Squats: 3sets
Leg ext: 2sets
Stiff leg DL: 3sets
Laying leg curls: 2sets
Seated calf raises: 4sets of 20 or more reps
At each workout increase the weight, sets, exercises untill you're having some ass kicking workouts.

Suggestions for a legs workout
I have not worked legs in a while because I save them for mountain biking from May through September (my leg workouts have sort of been "six months on, six months off" for a few years now). Anyone have any advice for a leg workout that will not leave my muscles in utter pain for five days following the workout? I hate looking like a zombie for a few days walking around the office. In previous years, I have always just jumped right back into leg workouts, going all-out on day one. That always leaves my muscles hurting like a bitch for several days, and I like to try to minimize that this time. I have been riding very hard this summer, so I'm hoping that will help a bit.

So you get a better calf workout by hitting them with a ton of reps? Should I still go as heavy as possible or focus more on getting as many reps cranked out as possible?

Basically. Calves are used to alot of reps from walking. For my calf routine I hit anywhere from 10-30reps. All to failure.Originally posted by Brad224

Use both. Do heavy low reps on leg press then high reps on seated calf raises or lead sled.Last edited by Fade; 10-02-2002 at 08:30 AM.
