Need Help with Leg Routine
Hey Guys,
Im a top heavy kind of guy and not because I don't train legs. I train them twice a week ! I'm 222 10% body fat and only squatting 405 for 8.
I need some help creating a program. If anyone has some sick legs please reach out to me and give me some advice !
Thanks again !

if what you are doing now isn't working I would try dropping the weight and doing higher reps with full rom or try pre-exhausting the body part first before your heavy working sets...for example I like to do leg extentions first to warm up my old knees and pre-exhaust the quads before squats so instead of 405 id only need 315 for my working sets...just a thought...

Try high volume along with the heavy weight ,and various methods to increase intensity and go beyond failure,p. I,e drop sets, super sets, pre exhaust, post exhaust , rest pause etc.

405x8 is better than 99% of people so I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. What worked well for me and a lot of people is volume for legs. If your squatting 1 day a week up it to 2, or 3. Some people can handle squatting every day. Doesn't mean that your maxing out or going to failure. For example,
One day do a 4x10 on backs quats, another day 4x10 front squats and another day 4x5 pause squats.
If you hit legs with volume they respond well and it makes sense since they carry you around for volume every day and are designed to run and jump.

If you access to chains or bands those can be very beneficial in upping intensity and breaking plateaus.
