Leg Training Routine – July 13, 2013

Warmup:
– Leg extensions 3 x 10 (lite/moderate)
– Leg Press 2 x 10 (lite)
** The goal for the warmup is to not try and get a burn in the muscle group. Save that for the working sets. This is just to lubricate the joints and get blood into the muscle group.

Working:
– Barbell Squats 5×6-12 (each set must get heavier, squat to the floor)
– Leg Press 6×15 (each set must get heavier)

Giant set #1:
– ‘Sissy’ Squats w/35lb plate 4×10
– Leg Extensions 4×10 (heavier weight then warm-ups)
– Leg Press Calf extensions 4×20

Giant Set #2
– Hamstring Curls 4×12
– Lunges 4×20 steps
– Leg Press Calf Extensions 3×20

Notes:
For the compound movements (squats/leg press), no more then 1-2min rest in between sets. For everything else, 30sec. There are no breaks in between the giant-set exercises; if you finish one, your ass better get to the next.

Keep breathing optimal. Breath IN on the negative movement, breath OUT on the positive (up/press).
