I have started to pre exhaust my quads with 5 to 6 sets of leg extensions, from set 1 light set max reps to set 5 heavy weight to failure. Then on 6 set I go as heavy as I can, do 3 of 4 reps then work my way down stack till cannot do any more.Then into squats, doing pre exhaust even if you are squaring 60kg, it will feel like 160kg and you will use every bit of muscle fibre doing them. First time I did it that way could not walk for a week and a half. But boy it feels good.Do you train legs once or twice a week?Had a similar routine to get big, that's when your legs feel like jelly and stairs are a nightmare.

Bulking, shredding, fitness, endurance, muscle gain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pazzo Donating Members 11,132 Member For: 13y 6m 1d Gender: Male Posted 11/07/12 05:50 AM Share Posted 11/07/12 05:50 AM Heavy weight where you hit failure at 8 reps. Not a Beliver of 4 to 6 reps. Leave that for the power lifters. You muscle building do 8 to 10 reps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally go up to about 200kg but I'm too nervous my knees will give way if I go anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
