1 set 15 reps, drop weight do as many as possible for 2 drop sets
Single Leg curl: 3 warm up sets, SAME technique like prior
1set 12 reps, rest/pause for 10-20 seconds and do reps, rest/pause again
Stiff leg dead lift:3-4 sets, focus on the stretch.
Quads:
Leg press: warm up 4 sets or whatever it takes you
Your one set should have a fair amount of weight on it, complete reps from 10-15 while focus on resisting the negative on the way down, drop weight off.. bust out as many as you can, drop again. Legs should be VERY pumped and in pain.
Power squat machine, (face in) or Hacks- warm up
1 set and this is the rest/pause part of the quads, get down as many as possible on first set, rack weight, do again (should be no more than 5 if done right), rack weight again and do your last set.
But you aren't done, Go over and do free weight squats. Go heavy! I keep my legs shoulder width and have hams touch calfs
For me its usually
185 x10
275 x5
335-365 x3-5 (depends on how smoked I am but I try and beat my weight)
Then EXTREME STRETCH!!!!!
I actually do this whole routine at once, hams first as well.
