How often do you do a workout that you know probably isn't the most conducive to muscle building, but you go through with it just because it builds your mental muscle? I'm talking about working a bodypart until it's beaten time and time again and you can't move for days afterward. Sure, it's against the common bodybuilding knowledge, but this is what the old school guys did--and look at them (then)!
I ask only because every once in a blue moon my buddy and I do a leg day that looks something like this...
5 x 15 - Squats
4 x 15 - Dead lifts
3 x 15 - Leg Press
Ladder x Ladder - Leg Extensions (Start at 150 pounds go to failure, go to failure every time pounds ascending all the way to 200, then do a second set to failure on 200 and descend doing the same to 150)
