I've most recently been doing 5x5 on Squats, leg raises, deads etc - I some times do reverse leg extentions for hamstrings but this wasnt in my most recent programme.


I change mine around a lot but it usually looks something like this:
Squats
1 set x 10 reps
2 x 6-8
3 x 4
4 x 2-3
Lunges (or some other type of uni-lateral movement)
1 x 10
2 x 10
3 x 8 - 10
"A child does not learn to squat from the top down -- in other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and makes the conscious decision to stand." - Gray Cook

My latest routine (for all exercises -> P/P/L) incorporates lowering the weight and performing very strict, slow movements both up and down. I found I had to check my ego because of the amount of weight being used. I am not a powerhouse to begin with and at first it seemed a little embarrassing... but after feeling the burn and the soreness the following days I felt a lot better about it.
