Leg training tips and advice thread

Hi guys.

What advice can you guys give for shocking legs into growth?
And please advise if this is a sufficient workout for legs:
7 Sets squats 12 reps
3 Sets leg press 12 reps
10 Sets leg extensions 10 reps.
I was trying to add volume into the workout without lowering the weight, i was dead after training,but it still feels like this isnt good enough, any opinions?

Start with 7 sets of leg extensions with 12 reps each set and 45second rest between each set, then 4 warm up sets of squats and then 3 sets of squats max weight for 6-8reps, then lunge for 5 sets for 12 reps per legs with weight(walking lunges are best) then do abductors for 4 sets and then see how that goes.

Wow okay haha thats alot, good thing thoug i thought i was overtraining. I do quads once a week and hammies once, would this still apply dj?

Youre holding back. Pasing yourself.

What do you suggest jack?

I was thinking:
7 sets squats 3 light, 4 heavy
5 sets leg press
3 sets step-ups
10 sets leg extensions

This is quads only, have a separate day for hammies.

Damn you guys train hard! 10 sets of leg extensions would kill me!!! Especially after 7 sets of squats!

My 2 cents is to reduce the number of sets but be super controlled. Squeeze the contraction at the top and lower your feet slowly and deliberately (for extensions). Same principles for other leg exercises.

I do like:
4 x squats
4 x curls
4 x extensions
2 x lunges / leg press

All depending on how I feel though

5min cycling warmup
5 sets squats
4 sets leg press
4 sets leg curls
4 sets leg extentions
3 sets lunges
I one warmup set before each exercise

Iman,why are u warming up on every exercise? Rather do 3 warm up squat sets then your heavy sets then you are already warm and ready to perform heavy exercises,warm up once to start then carry on training.

It's more of a set to get in the zone and get the movement right for the upcoming exercise. My first 2 sets of squats are lighter for warmup.

Sorry for the jack but which leg exercise will bring out the outside sweep? I've got big quads but the main muscle comes out "forward" almost with no sideways size. This is mainly due to my love affair with squats I think...

Any advice?

Hack squats.See how Dorian Yates do them in Blood and Guts for foot positioning.

Shit dryden my problem is the inner teardrop of the quad! Ive got big outer quads but not inner. Try intense cycling bro, it worked for me and I also did a lot of legpresses in my day lol.
