    How's my leg routine?

    My legs hate me today... I've got major DOMS going on, but boy does it feel good.

    I never used to take legs all that seriously, b/c they were always naturally muscular and i figured I didn't have to. That was before realizing the importance and benefit of squats and deads, etc.

    Squats 4 sets (12, 10, 8, 6)
    SLDLs 3 x 10
    Leg Extensions 3 x 10
    Lying Leg Curls 3 x 10
    Seat Calf Raises 2 x 10

    I typically do this once per week, sometimes twice depending how things fall in a given week.

    I think it looks fine for the most part. However, I do have a couple of minor recommendations:

    You should do some type of standing calf work as well. Seated calf raises primarily active the soleus, while standing calf raises primarily active the gastrocnemius. The gastrocnemius is a two-headed muscle group that is significantly larger than the soleous. If you want big calves, than you want to do standing calf raises of some sort. Throw in two sets of standing calf raises before you do the seated ones.

    As well, if you care at all about strength, then I would suggest starting with the heaviest weights first. So, for your squats, I would start with 6 repetitions and work my way down. Just make sure you warm-up properly first.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

    Thanks CP. I'll take it all into consideration.

    I've always limited my direct calf work b/c i have pretty naturally large and sculpted calves. They have a tendency to get a point of being TOO big for my taste if i really push them.
