warm up: 5 mins on stationary bike
QUADS
Squats(all the way down, none of that half stuff): 1st set 135lbs for 20 reps
2cnd set 225lbs for 20 reps; 3rd set 275lbs 20 reps; 4th set 315lbs 15 reps; 5th and 6th sets 405lbs for 12 reps. (when I'm finished here my legs are gorged w/ blood)
Leg Press Since I'm dead from squats, I'll do whatever weight I can use to grind out 8-10 solid reps (usually five or six plates on each side), for four sets.
Frog Press? i don't know the technical term for this exercise, but I place my feet at the top of the leg press, in an open V shape (feet are in a slightly higher position than for the normal leg press). I use this exercise for my inner quads. 3 sets for 10 reps (at this point there is no feeling in my quads, so I do not need heavy weight)
Lunges I use bodyweight for this exercise and can barely grind out 6 reps for the three sets
Leg Extensions I know SC says to leave this for competitions, but I like the crazy burn I get from these after the above. 4 sets for 20 reps (100lbs is good)
Hamstrings
Deadlift Lowering the bar to the tongue of my sneakers, I then lift the bar to my upper shin (all hammies) 5 sets for 6-10 reps (I'll go 135lbs for two sets, then jump to 225lbs for the last three)
Lying hamstring Curls 5 sets for 6-10 reps (weight varies)
Calves
i will not go into detail on my calf workout, but I superset them w/ Quads. Also, I do calves (and abs) twice, every seven days. Every other bodypart is done one time, every seven days.Total w/o time is about 1hr 15mins.
