Legs ? per week

[james55555]

I have chicken legs and I am going to start
my second cycle. I would like to know how
many times per week to do legs. Maybe some
work out routines also. ( I did gain some size on my first)

[BigMike J]

I train legs once a week, usually on saturday.

My routine is as follows

5 set squats
5 set leg press
2 set hack squats
5 set leg ext
5 set leg curls
4 sets standing calf raises
2 donkey sets
1 seated set

This is my new routine, i have been changing up lately.

I like to split my workouts into hams on one day, quads on another every once in a while...just to really kill them.

I'd bump for bigol'legs' advice on this one...he's the one with the enormous hydraulic pumps for legs

[james55555]

I have been doing legs 3 times a week
and I am just sick of it some say this is
over training I agree. I think I will split
my workouts into hams on one day, quads on another.

[bigol'legs]

wo... 3 x's ??? thats nonsense.. IMO

do it only once a week... and splitting quads and hams..

[RoNNy THe BuLL]

Yeah, once a week bro. Just kill them. It's a big muscle group, so it's going to take more than the average 'arm' workout, which means it's going to take an even longer recovery time.

[BigMike J]

Some guys even say once every 2 weeks, but that's not for me.

[bigol'legs]

hey mike you know platz only did his quads every 4 weeks?? I was shocked when I heard that.. but when you BLAST your quads like he does.. you need that much time for recovery.. I can see every 2 weeks..

[BigMike J]

Rest is important

[popa]

I do hams and calves one day and quads and calves on another day

Thanks all I will take your advice.
Thank god for the forum I hate doing legs
I will be glad to hit them hard once a week.

If your able to work legs more than once a week your not workin them hard enough. My body is drained on leg day. It take at least a full day for them to recover. 3x's a week would mean I could not do anything else but sit on my ass all week.
