Re:Legs - 17 November 2009 15:14 ( #2 )

Hello mate,

Depends on your overall routine to what days you do things on but generally and the most common answer you will get (which is what i do too) is...
Squats - 3 x 8
Deadlifts - 3 x 8 (could do different variation such as stiff-legged etc)
Leg Press - 3 x 6 - 10
Calf raises - 3 x 8
Lunges - 3 x 8 (each leg)

thats me personally obviously i play around quite a bit with mine now and again.

Re:Legs - 17 November 2009 15:27 ( #4 )

Squats / front squats / hack squats / leg press mainly for quads but obviously hit hams too

Leg extention isolating quads

Leg curl / SLDL for hams.

Calf raises / calf press for calves

I vary reps depending on whole workout but I like to do some high and some lower reps, so I may do 8 reps for squats and then 15 reps for leg press.
