"Build huge legs with this awesome and brutal leg workout routine"
Welcome to Building Muscle 101's leg workout routine. The following leg workout routine is not for the timid! I personally use this workout routine whenever my legs stop responding from my regular weight lifting routine. I find this particular leg workout routine a perfect remedy for those of you who have stubborn legs. Try this routine for 6 to 8 weeks and I guarantee your legs will have no choice but to grow. The workout routine is set up for high repetitions. There are four main exercises for the quadriceps. The weight will not be as heavy as your used to using but the intensity will increase dramatically. I suggest you train hamstrings on a different day because you'll be in no shape to do anything after you've completed this leg workout routine. This is a very high intense workout so be prepared to work hard! The following split routine is an ideal program for this type of leg workout routine. You need to work the legs hard and give them plenty of time to rest. An ideal split for this type of leg workout routine is as follows: Monday - Chest, Triceps, and Abs Tuesday - Rest Wednesday - Quadriceps Thursday - Rest Friday - Shoulders, Hamstrings, and Abs Saturday - Back, Biceps, and Calves Sunday - Rest The leg workout routine will be as follows: Warm up on stationary bike: 5 to 10 minutes Exercise 1 Leg extensions
1 set of 20- Warm up
Increase the weight with each set but remember to keep the repetitions strict. You want to squeeze at the top of the exercise. This is your warm up exercise. Exercise 2 Squats
1 set of 20- Warm up For the first three work sets, rest for about 50 seconds in between sets. For the last two sets, rest for about 1 1/2 minutes. Exercise 3 Leg Press
4 sets of 50 repetitions
Use anywhere from 40% to 60% or your max leg press. I suggest you start out with 40 to 50%. This is a very tough part of the leg routine and remember to breath throughout the exercise. It's not a race so keep you reps smooth and controlled. Try not to lock your legs out on the top part of the movement. Keep your head straight and level and concentrate hard. Exercise 4 Hack Squats 3 sets of 12 At this stage, your legs should feel like spaghetti. Use about 60% of you max hack squat and do this exercise slowly. Really concentrate on the movement.
That's it! If you can manage to keep your supper down, congratulations. Remember to drink alot of water and it will be important for you to consume a protein/carb drink immediately after this workout routine. You may not feel like eating but try and get some fast acting carbs into your system as soon as the workout routine is done. This way, you have enough energy to make it home! Use this workout routine when you need to jump start your leg growth. All the best, Blake
