I Need a Leg Routine Brehs

[unit321]

I don't understand why people so so many reps when it comes to legs. I mean you wouldn't do 100 bicep curls would you?

It's something to do to change things up, but not always.

It's a nice high rep challenge... I've had dudes who could squat a Mac truck have a hard time finishing this workout with no breaks... Lifting heavy weights for low reps with long recovery breaks is cool and all. I like to push myself to the limit though...

Biceps are just a glamor muscle...so no, I wouldn't. People do though.

Legs are not a glamor muscle. And high-rep work is good for increasing size and endurance if not necessarily strength (at least not like low-rep/high-weight).

With respect to the routine you quoted, that would also double as an excellent interval/fat burning workout.

I've been going heavy on the leg press but it felt pointless. Will keep heavy on squats and go for burn leg press.

Well, I did a medium-heavy (for me) leg day on Friday. I was weaker than usual.
Here is what it was.
All Smith machine squats (there's no power rack, it's based on a counter-weighted barbell so I calculate that in; it's 15 lbs as opposed to a free-weight 45 lbs. barbell.)
135 lbs. 10 reps
135 lbs. 10 reps
225 lbs. 1 rep (something didn't feel right on the first rep)
195 lbs. 10 reps
215 lbs. 10 reps
235 lbs. 10 reps
235 lbs. 8 reps
215 lbs. 10 reps
195 lbs. 10 reps

U dont need a long or complicated routine.... but u should make sure your routine covers a couple of things

1 it should be balanced... for every quad movement you do you should do a hamstring movement. Your legs are no different from your arms, you need to keep shyt balanced.

2 it should address any postural issues FIRST... then growth later... u nikkas with all them certs sitting all day probably have anterior pelvic tilt/ upper + lower cross syndrome... look that shyt up and look up the stretches and exercises to fix that before you herniate a lumbar disc

3 it should be frequent....

I do this 2x/week...

3 x back squats
3 x Romanian deadlifts
3 x body weight calf raises to failure (i.e. first set mite be 70 reps)

My legs are SWOLLEN brehs. Im gonna need all new pants next year

I have lower cross syndrome and anterior pelvic tilt
