Good story Mike; thanks for sharing and I think I might hit up a couple 50rep hack squat sets this weekend.

It's light enough to do but can you take the burn?

Guess I'll find out Saturday. You got a full leg workout from back in the day? I'm not looking for something to do every sessions, just one hardcore vomit-inducing leg blast? You post it. I'll do it.

The funny thing is, workout wise, not much has changed except for my age and my knees. Actually, we'd hit everything twice a week - that was the standard back then (like coleman does now). Now I do only once a week. BAck then, as now, we never had a set workout. WE always switched excersice order, we did every conceivable excersise and plenty of higher rep sets, it was intuitive and spontaneous. Forced reps every set (I didn't feel overtrained) and a few descending sets all the way down to virtually no weight. Now hams are done on their own day. We did hams, quads, and delts (can you imagine that?). Back then I could do that. No way now. At the end of quads, we'd do knee bends (squats without weights) for 100 or so reps. Our legs were noodles. Just follow the basic guidelines and you'll be good to go. That's what we did. My legs grew like ****s. I got em up to 26" and with my shape they looked awesome. Now they are ok at 24"
