Leg day.

[NH XD]

Lets be honest here who trains legs and how often?; I often see the same faces in my gym but rarely see a certain few who train legs.

 

Managed to squeeze out a PB today; the sets leading up to this where as follows:

Reps x weight

 

• 20 x Bar (20kg)
• 15 x Bar + 40kg
• 10 x Bar + 60kg
• 8 x Bar + 80kg
• 5 x Bar + 100kg
• 3 x Bar + 120kg
• 1 x Bar + 120kg
• 1 x Bar + 140kg (The video.)
• 5 x Bar + 140kg (After the video with a spotter, would say 4/5 where clean reps.)

@Adhi can you give you some tips

 

U only do squats? I did legs 1-2 times a week. Now I am running every day so no legs been trained in the gym for 3 months

I train legs twice or three times a week currently as I'm prioritizing them currently being a weak point in terms of aesthetics; depending on energy levels and availability. 

 

I do walking/Cycling as my source of cardio; running is good for building the endurance of the muscle but does fuck all for size in my opinion.

Ye, didn't say I was running to gain size on my legs tho. ;p

 

tbh, if you can train legs 3 times a week you aren't training hard/properly enough mate. I had leg sessions that I couldn't walk for 3 days. :p 

 

So, do you only do squats?

Fair enough.

 

I can train legs 3 times a week because my diet and nutrition is on point on top of this I'm currently getting a minimum of 8 hours rest a night.

 

I find it funny how you can doubt the intensity of my workouts whilst I'm squatting 150kg at 60kg bodyweight - I challenge you to find anyone else matching this.

 

DOMs is a common misconception of having a good workout. Your muscles don't need to be sore for days to justify a good workout, The more often you work a certain muscle group the less severe your DOMs will be.

 

My entire leg workout;

 

Stepper warm-up 10-15 minutes.

Light stretching and mobility.

Warm-up sets of my chosen exercise with no weight.

5-8 working sets of my chosen exercise with weight.

3-4 working sets of my chosen accessory exercises.

Treadmill walking call-down 10-15 minutes.

Light stretching and mobility.

You never mentioned your weight/nutrition or anything you just said before. The only thing I know is that I need to hit it hard enough to gain growth. I don't grow as much if I go high in weights and low in exercises or reps

I thought it would be obvious to assume someone with extensive gym knowledge in terms of weightlifting would also know the importance of diet and rest.

But you automatically assumed I had neither by questioning my workout intensity..

 

you're not the only one, very few people grow in terms of muscle development by solely doing high weight low reps. You need a combination of both low rep sets and high volume working sets.

Squats is low rep, rest is high rep

Respect the depth

 

And you can just say 160kg instead of the bar + 140kg lol.
