Dangerous Legs

Leg day. It’s like marmite, you either love it or you hate it. Either way, if you know that swallowing it down is going to give you explosive size to those skinny tree branch legs then who cares. Stacking up plate after plate onto the leg press is either going to make you feel like the strongest person in the gym or a quivering little school boy who feels sick to his stomach at the thought of what his about to attempt. This is where you need to realise that the likes of Jay Cutler, Branch Warren, Dextor Jackson, Dennis Wolf whose legs are beyond the size off tree trunks never once looked at the weight they stacked up and thought I CAN NOT DO THIS. Each time they sat their asses down they were fully committed to reaching their goal of MASSIVE LEGS.

Leg days are a man-versus-weight experience in which neither come out quite the same. Whether it’s the plates, chipped and scratched as there piled high on the bar to fully challenge you, or your thighs, as they’re left beaten and shaking after the last ounce of fight is squeezed out of them.

The following workout is crafted to help you put on some serious mass to those powerful legs. This training session is loaded with everything you need to increase the circumference of your upper and lower legs. It begins with the barbell squat – the hands down best overall muscle-building exercise in existence – and doesn’t let up from there. Leg presses and hack squats hit your quads, glutes and hams, while the Romanian deadlift is a high-powered move for hamstrings and glutes, especially that glute- ham tie-in; you simply can’t build great overall legs without that critical detail. The final two exercises are for your calves, and there best performed through a full range of motion and with as much weight as you can handle with good form.

This session does not include warm up sets. Perform as many warm up sets as needed but never take it to muscle failure . Whilst training legs you need to keep your joints nice and strong so supplementing with a Joint Support formula may be a great way to start. Glucosamine has been thoroughly studied for its positive actions in helping to maintain healthy joints and connective tissue. Reflex Glucosamine Chondroitin or Universal Nutrition Jointment Sport is just some examples of very good Joint support formulas.
