how many times a week should I do legs?

[greekgod718]

I just wanted to know how often i should do my legs. I do hit them hard and I do get sore but even with the soreness is it ok to hit them every 3 or 4 days or just once a week?

If you were going to hit them twice a week, put at least 4 days in between. Also look to possibly doing a heavy low rep day, followed later in the week with light and more reps.

I do legs once per week, but if you're young and can recoup then go for it. Get a feel for how it's going and change it necessary.

I agree with Pemburu. Personally, I hit legs every Saturday. I give them a full week to revover (they usually need it).

I guess i'm like theese guys, my legs need alot of time to recover and I couldn't train them more than once a week. everyones body will respond differently if yours responds well to it then there is no reason to stop

give them time to recoup like IAB and Pemburu said,eat good,drink lots of water.

I agree with everyone. I train legs once a week. In fact, I just switched to working them on Fridays so I could have the weekend to recover. Your chest and back are big muscle groups too, your body needs all the time it can get to recover and grow.

I train legs once per week.

greekgod718-
I would suggest doing your legs ONE time per week. As long as you train intensely with heavy weight and good form, once a week is more than enough for growth.

Its O.K. to work legs about 2x week, just change the routine.
Your legs are "large" muscle groups--10 reps to a set is well worth the effort. Above all, get a good rest between leg workouts!
