[robbyca13]

anyone got any killer leg workouts let me know thanks?!??!

 

[Burrn]

Well: do you mean thighs or calves or both?

 

[robbyca13]

like a whole routine for both!

 

[gettinthere]

Standing calves on Smith
Sitting calves
And or donky calf

Squats, squats and more squats
Leg press
Extentions
Lunges

I could go on, but that should about kill ya!

 

[robbyca13]

[gettinthere]

ya, no worries. knock yerself out! You could also throw some hamstring curls in there too, if you've got the energy. js

Squats AND leg extensions! Those always work great for me.

Pre-exhaust with an iso move, smash em with a compound.

 

[njc]

3 sets of 50 jumping jacks
5 sets of 15 frog hops
3 sets of 50 leg extensions with a light weight
Run 5 miles

Hugeness will be just around the corner

Okay, in all seriousness, I have found the edition of explosive plyometric movements to be a welcome addition with regards to hypertrophy. But that's probably because my workout routine had grown stale, and I was not growing anymore.

[69ingchipmunks]

Squat, hack squat, straight legged deadlifts. Calf raises

 

[LAM]

Squat, hack squat, straight legged deadlifts. Calf raises

and stretch your ass off regularly! one thing that so many weight trainers neglect. they don't realize just how import stretching is, it goes hand in hand with resistance training and/or bodybuilding. the more relaxed a muscles is at rest the greater the force it can generate over it's entire ROM.

 

[Booby]

Squats, real squats, not squints like most guys do...Go deep down in the bucket no bounce and back up.

 

[HFO3]

Leg extensions/ lying leg curls superset, very high volume...this gets you ready
Front squats moderate weight high volume
squats moderate weight high volume

DONE.

^ looks like overkill to me. How you expecting to grow?

 

[futureMrO]

its the only way my legs respond lol, i sleep alot and eat alot lol. i also played alot of hockey when i was younger, i think i built up a lot of leg stamina so i have to beat the shit out of them or they dont grow. but idk im constantly trying new lifts, or variations of my routine.

I'm the same way but with a history of different sports but all leg intensive.. I need high volume with legs, low volume does nothing for me in terms of stimulating hypertrophy.
