I know most people don't work out to failure, or push their limits, but I always do.
I know most people like to skip leg days, are keep them short and easy, but I don't.
Tonight was an EPIC leg night.
Started with Explosive positive, Slow negative leg extensions to failure
Went to Hammer Strength Hack Squat to failure
Then Barbell Jump Squats (where I go ass to grass, pause and decompress in the hole, explode up fast enough to jump off the ground as high as i can, then upon landing, let my knees relax enough to immediately go back down ass to grass) to failure.
Next was Barbell Half Squats to failure.
Followed by Dumbbell Walking Lunges across the gym, twice.
Last was Super Narrow Machine Leg Press to failure.
Finished with Seated Calf Raises.
All reps were done with explosive positives, and slow negatives. No more than one minute rest between each set and exercise. Everything to failure.
Most of the time a set would end with me seeing spots, feeling light headed, feeling unable to breathe, and I would have to lean sit down or lay down.
This was an AWESOME leg day.
What do you guys usually do for your leg days?
I'm always looking for new ideas for an intense leg workout.
