Its leg day and since I stopped training heavy legs years ago I like to keep them hard and ripped so lets get the wheels turning:

Warm up
Single leg extensions- 3sets @ 60lbs 15 reps

Proper Squat motion

Squat leg press
540lbs- 3sets for 15 reps
Dropset
270lbs- 1set burn out

Smith Machine Squats
225lbs-3sets for 10 to 15 reps

Leg Extension
120lbs- 3 sets for 15 reps
Dropset
60lbs- 1set burn out

Hamstrings

Lying Leg Curl
140lbs- 3sets 15 reps
Dropset
70lbs- 1set burn out

Seated Leg Curl
120lbs-3sets 15 reps

When I train legs I like to pause at the top and hold on certain exercises for me I feel that I can get a quality workout with a higher rep workout and at the end if my legs feel like JELLO then Iam satisfied.

   Remember weight is just a number and yes I can do this workout, everyday I push it to the limit but if your form is off and you are just throwing weight around and not contracting the muscle then go lighter!
