Thread: Leg routine....

Looks good Freeman but take out the Leg curls (Hams) on a seperate day!

what day would you suggest? I typically just do all legs on the same day...except usually for calves...

tomorrow is chest/tris...or chest/back..haven't decided..what do you think? I might do abs tomorrow...I dunno yet..then off tuesday..wednesday will be back if not tomorrow...and bis...bis and tris maybe depending on what I do tomorrow....thrsday, shoulders...saturday will be legs again....I'm doing on two, off one schedule..

you can do hams on a separate day, but I prefer to do them with quads, especially if you're doing squats cause they get worked with them.

That's what I usually do. I guess, everyone has a preference...I might try David's way for a bit just to see what I like best...

It looks like a good leg workout to me. Since you don't have a Hack machine if you want to mix it up you could do some smith machine sqauts and try going deeper than you do when you do barbell squats. Or, have you ever tried barbell hack squats (I think that is what they are called), you hold the bar down behind your back and sqaut from there ( the best way that I can describe it would be by saying it is like dead lifts except the bar is in back of you). I have only tried them 2 or 3 times but they felt pretty good and I will probably work them into my routine every once in awihile. Other than that your work out looks pretty good for packing on size, especially if you are doing heavy squats first.

Or, maybe if we increase 50+ lbs and go straight 10 reps across the board, your quads will feel like spaghetti!

It's just that my quad workouts seem to drain my energy no matter what "stuff" I take that Cardio is even tough to do. Even though alot of people do not recommend cardio on that day.

I usually do this Freeman:

Sunday:
Just Quads

Monday:

Chest/Tri's/abs
1:30 mins of cardio (split.... 45 mins in the morning and 45-60 at night) (keep in mind.... I supplement big time and EAT like a horse!)

Tuesday:
Shoulders/Bi's/abs/Biceps
Calves (Sometimes)

Wednesday:
Hams
Cardio (Split)

Thursdays:
Back/Traps

Friday (Either what I mention below or day off or Just cardio)
*I'll pick one exercise that I want to increase on and just do that for 5 sets.

Abs
Calves
Cardio (Split)

Saturday:

Just cardio

Is this Overtraining? Maybe.... but there is at least one to two days off! Depending how I feel.

Sometimes I'll yank out Triceps or Biceps on the Chest or shoulders day and put them in on a Friday, Thursday or Saturday.

Well, now I have a lot of options. Which is what I wanted...thanks guys. I knew you'd pull through!

Have you ever tried front squats?
I usually throw those into my leg workouts every other week. I think they are pretty good as well.
