Here is my routine top to bottom on leg day, Please let me know if you would change anything...

As I said I can not go Super Heavy with my Squats but by the time I am through with those and leg presses my legs are on fire! I have really stepped up the intensity of my leg workouts but wondering what I could maybe change / Do differently do hit them even harder! s I said It seems and feels like a very good workout but just have a hard time to get m wheels to grow!

I do not really find it stale and oh yeh I do a couple sets of stiff legs withDb ,yslef but not too heavy casue my back! Just dont seem to have good luck getting them to grow to easily. Well now that i know there are others using close to the same routine, maybe I will stick with this routine for a little longer

yea man i use to hate training legs when i first started lifting only cos they hurt so damn much and at the time i had a hernia but i got that operated on and been going great ever since ...i put on 2 inchs on my legs in like 3 months , started with a dif routine when i began ...was only doing

weighted lunges
light squats
(oh and at the time i was only using a smith machine so i layed down on the bench and put my feet on the bar and done leg press with the bar , dangerous i know but i done that too )
leg extensions
sissy squats


oh yea try them man ...have you heard of them ? sissy squats ?
