Leg Blaster for growth!!

[Hiramabiff]

Legs slacking? Legs lacking? Legs need a growth spurt? Try this once a week for 8 weeks.

To be done on a Leg Press machine. Preferably plate loaded, but if you have a machine only; no problem.

Workout:

Warm up sets:
30, 20. 15 and then 10

Now for the pain:

10 sets of 15 reps. Here is the catch: You will use the five "up" five "down" method. You will simply "up" the poundage for each of the first five sets and then "down" on the remaining five.

Finish up with 2 pump-out sets of 20 and 30 reps.

Next Leg Extensions;

6 x 15 straight sets. Then pump set of 20 and then 30.


No, you can not throw up yet.....

Hammie Time

Machine Leg Curl:

Warm up: 30, 20, 15

Now Work it out:

6 X 12. Then pump set of 30

Straight Leg deadlift:

6 x 12 then pump set of 20

Calves: Standing Calf Machine

Warm up: 30, 15

Working set: 20, 15, 12, 20 then 30 pump of set.

Seated Calf:

6 x 12 Pump Set of 20

It is working for me quite well. You will see growth. I believe high reps are a good thing. Many times I see people loading up the leg press with every plate in the house. They do some half reps for a few reps and think they are hardcore . I say lower the weight, do full reps and up the reps to a minimum of 15. I love the leg press too, because it does not compress my spine like heavy squats. Sometimes when I load up the squat bar, I really can't breath too good and my spine just feels smashed.

What type of cadence are you using for the work sets?


P.S. Who will help the widow's son? Had to say it.

My Lord, My God, is there no help for the widows' son?

Always assistance for a fellow Freemason in distress.

The cadence I use is: MOVE THAT SH@T!! Get my butt to 15 reps quickly; with good form.

i just got sore reading this! i am doing legs twice a week now. i will do this tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

It will work....you need high reps on legs regardless of the exercise!!! Legs are a huge muscle group and need alot of blood in there!!

Agreed. The workout has meaning behind it. Any person who stays dedicated to the routine should have no problems progressing.

Ive been meaning to try high reps on legs day for the longest but keep putting it off. Recently I keep seeing these threads where you fellas are getting great results from high reps, so im going to stop being such a pussy and try this for a while starting next legs day, but I might modify it slightly, keep the same exercises, same reps, but use a little less volume.

Its in writing now so Ive got to do it! Nice one Hiramabiff.

I realize that my legs are strong, but they lack endurance. By utilizing the above workout, I am seeing results now. I only do this for about 8-12 weeks then resume a more traditional workout. It is more for shock value. My quads and hams are still "sore" from working them Sunday evening. I can't wait to destroy them again. I just flip flop the order; from a stretch to a compound or vice versa.
