Intense Leg Workout

Below is one of my favorite workouts for adding mass to your legs.  As always, make sure you warm up by stretching and performing a few light reps.

Quads
Squats: 8 sets, 3 reps each set at 80% maximum
Leg Press: 3 sets, 15 reps each set at 60% maximum
Leg Extensions: 2 sets, 30 reps each set at 40% maximum

Hamstrings
Stiff Leg Deadlifts: 4 sets, 12 reps each set
Leg Curls: 3 sets, 12 reps each set

Calves
Standing Calf Raises: 4 sets, 15 reps each set
Donkey Calf Raises: 2 sets, 30 reps each set

Allow only one minute rest between each set of each exercise. It works well if you have a training partner - as soon as they are done with the set, you do yours, and when you are done they do theirs, and so on. This will keep your workout intense and motivational.

This workout made my legs bigger - give it a try for yourself!

Remember, use only great form and train smart.

Note: Before embarking on any nutrition, supplementation, and/or training program, consult with your physician or other licensed health-care professional.
