Legs question????

[joeybenz]

Ok guys here's my question How many reps and and sets should be done?

I was thinking like

Squats 4set 10-12 reps
Leg press 3 sets 10-12 reps(feet close together)
Leg extension 4 sets 10-12 reps
Leg Curl 4 sets 10-12 reps

Is that good amount of work for the hams, or do you guys think I should lay this out better

LOOK at your legs...

What area needs the most work?

Most likely (in most trainers), no offense, it's the hamstring.

3 exercises for quads really isn't necessary.

IMO...you only need ONE good exercise for quads (IMO squats...unless you've an injury)... and 1-2 hamstring movements

IMO cut down to:

Squats: 5 sets
Leg-curls: 4-5 sets
Stiff-leg-deadlift: 4-5 sets

Squats basically hits the hams to right?

BTW: if your hams AREN'T lagging... then one exercise per area would suffice:

i.e.

Quads: Squats: 5 sets

Hamstrings: Leg-curls: 5 sets

The most important factor isn't the number of exercises...rather, it's the amount of intensity you can generate

Squats hit the hams..yes... to a more pronounced degree if you go below parallel

very true.. and if you can learn to do long ranged lunges like really long strides and drive up w/ your heal you can feel it on your upper ham and ass which is great for conjoining the 2...

thank you for quick reply! I don't think really any part of my legs are lagging but I just want to make sure that I'm doing everything right. My main concern is that I want to get a great leg workout
