Leg Routines
I am gonna start really getting serious about my leg routines. Anybody got a good workout to start out with? I'd love to hear Zapp's leg routine if you come around to seeing this thread.

You missed the sticky right at the top of the forum...look there for leg size...

You will be able to tell that SwoleCat's leg workout is one of the best around when you feel like chucking during/afterwards the session. Oh and the incredible maming ache will give it away as well

Swolecat's leg workout is hard to beat.... but it's always nice to be able to switch it up after a while....
any other favorite leg workouts out there?

If I'm not doing SC's I'm doing something like this. In brackets is what I sometimes leave out.
Squats x 4
Short lunges x 2 for quads
Deep long lunges x 2 for glutes
(Leg extensions x 2)
SLDL x 4
(Ham curls x 3)

Thanks guys, I've got those copied down for my use later.
When you're doing squats (or any of the exercises for that matter) do you generally use a 2 sec up 3 sec down pace? If not, what pace should I be aiming for?
Thanks

I have never really done lunges before I incorporated them a few weeks ago. I have found the lunges I have been doing, deep lunges that are taken out in longer stride, really make the outer quadrant of my glutes very sore. I think I may start out with a few sets of short stride lunges to really stimulate the quads as a mass builder, as I do not have a legitimate quad mass builder in my routine as of now. How do you feel short stride lunges work for quad mass flexor?

This coming Friday I'll have to do something more like this
Squats: 4 sets
Short stride lunges: 3 sets
Long stride lunges: 3 sets
Leg ext (here most likely): 3 sets
SLDL: 4 sets
Leg curls: 3 sets
This doesn't seem to overkill to me. Seems as though leg curls and more-so leg ext are used more as a sculpting exercise than a staple mass building exercise like the rest are.

In this case the proximal (closest) joint component moves. Pullups are closed chain and pulldows are open chain, just as an examle.
However such things are rarely that simple. Some exercises exhibit both open and closed chain aspects, don't worry too much about it. It was dreamt up back in 1957, and although still relevant, it must be taken in context.Last edited by Flexor; 12-27-2005 at 07:47 PM.

I've never really done any lunges before.... I'm gonna go google around to get a feel for them.
But a quick question: when doing lunges do you generally stay "in place" or do you "walk" around? cause I can kinda picture them executed either way.
That's worded a little weird, but maybe it makes sense.
