leg routine looks more like a powerlifter, nice numbers........it all depends on what you are after, powerlifters have tremendoues legs, but not overall shape, decide what u want and build your routine that way, always keep SQUATTING, they are the best and build so much mass overall, just change the order one week when you squat.......ex, one week start with leg press, then squat......and get some more hamstring work, add some addtional exercises in conjunction with stiff leg deadlifts.

That is quite the load of squats. I started training in September and have noticed great differences in my legs since then. I do 4 sets of 8 leg extensions, 4 sets of 8 leg curls, 4 sets of 8 straight leg dead lifts, and then 4 sets of 8 squats. Is 4 reps for the squats not enough? I believe it should be 6-8, but what do I know.

wantItbad......i follow 2 principles with my training and make my own routine....1st as a former training partner of gopro...i vary my weeks. with P/RR/S....but I also believe in westside powerlifting ideas as well, and always incorporate them into my training......I myself would not be ending my squats with a light set.....keep finishing with the heavy weight, especially if your building power, pick a wave cycle and go for a new 3 rep max.......as for hamstrings.....reverse glute ham raises are great, if your gym has one........goodmornings are another good exercise and will add tremendous power to your squat(just make sure you keep the arch in your lower back when performing them).....hope this helps....

U Should Through Front Squats Into Your Leg Routine. I Also Go Absolutely All The Way Down......a Competiton Lifter I Know Taught Me This Like 10 Years Ago And My Knees Have Never Hurt. Fronts Target The Quads Too.

yea u r doing a cycle.......a wave cycle is like this......first thing try doing box squats, slightly below parallel.....it is 5 week mini-cycle..and use 50%, 53%, 55% for 12 sets of 2, emphasizing speed out of the bottom, then the next 2 weeks you start back at 57%, and then 60% for 10 sets of 2.....same priniciple as yours, guess just a shorter lifting cycle...works great.....my numbers are...age 30 bodyweight 186 with BF % 9 and squatted 455 rock bottom lifetime natural.....just one idea for squatting, there are a ton of them....hope this helps.
