I was reading an article about an Olympic style wrestler's leg routine that put on so much mass he had to stop because he went up 2 weight classes.
From what I understood he used 30% of his max weight the entire time and worked legs twice a week.
His routine started with 2 minutes of squats with slow drop and explosive ascent.
He would add 30 sec to his time each week up to 8 min at the 12 week mark.
After that he would do some leg extensions and curls and calf work each workout with standardish set/rep ranges (can't recall them)
From what I remember each of his legs was around the 38 inch mark
My son and I have been trying this, and are up to 4 min with some nice results so far. He is 15 and put 2 inches on his legs so far, and I'm 40 and added 1.5 inches.
My question is: Has anyone else done this to completion, and what were your results? Also, could this work with other compound movements (chest, back)? Anyone tried?
I'm just trying to get some responses to see if it would be worth pursuing a routine starting with an 8 min set for the major muscle worked that day.
