    20+ sets of legs on leg day?

    I've read some articles lately about dudes doing 20+ sets on leg day. does anyone in here do this kid of workout? People say it makes your legs grow to tree trunks, id sure like to get a workout like that going if it does!

    cool, thanks dude. btw, people don't do this every leg day? if u only do this once every 4 or 5 workouts or whatever, what do some regular good leg day workouts look like? i do what my buddy does, and he said he does sets like this of squatting 8,8,8,8,6,4,2. then leg press, or leg extentions, or whatever else you want to do.

    He said 20+ SETS, not reps.

    My protocol doesn't have anywhere NEAR 20 sets!

    That would send cortisol levels sky high.

    Honestly, I was doing workouts like this for a while, adn I noticed that I was not recovering well enough even doing it only once a week. My legs began to shrink some, adn my squat strength dropped quite a bit, so I switched to more like 10 or so sets for quads, and 4-5 for hams, and my strength is going back up.

    20 sets = over kills and muscles will regress IMO
    i know a guy who does like 50+ reps on all his leg shyt and yes he has some massive legs like 30-32's when he is around 6% for comp but i just cant pic it working for normal people..

    Did you read it in a BB magazine? If so, its probably crap. Or maybe it works for them, but it wont work for someone who is not on that pro level most of the time.

    Every once in a while, going to like 30 reps, 40 reps for each set, etc., yeah of course it works. It works because of the SHOCK value of the workout, it's a "break from the norm", it's not the same old workout that one does week in and week out.

    I wouldn't say that these kinds of crazy high reps would work EVERY workout, no, but once in a while to really kick yourself in the (__!__), yes.

    20reps every once and awhile is okay. But for me anything more than 8reps is piointless, I trying to build up my legs. Slow twitch muscle fibers build mass, heavy weight is better

    Ive done 32+ sets on leg day.

    This is 16 for quads and 16 for hams.

    Like SC said... your cortisol levels will raise. But if done in a timely manner(and ya dont pass out) it can be fitting.

    It should be noted that my 20 rep routine is totally different. It's not one all out set, not even close. There are other pre-exhaustion principles as well included.

    That's the key, and it's good you found it. "FOR YOU", which doesn't apply to anyone else.

    I don't grow off 8-10 reps for legs, I grow off 15-20 for legs, as do most people considering the feedback I get from clients and those on this very board who have utilized my protocol.
