In this segment ... Its all about the heavy stuff,... first set your looking at going for 10-12reps and the last set we are going for 6-8 reps....

2nd-12 reps
3rd-10 reps
4th-8 reps
5th-6 reps

Part 2 Heavy-Leg Extentions

Part 5 Heavy-Squats#
1st-12 reps
2nd-10 reps
3rd-10 reps
4th-8 reps

Part 6 Heavy-Leg Curls
1st-15 reps
2nd-12reps
3rd-10 reps
4th-10 reps

*-Standing leg curls, just pull up the wieght and bring it down as slow as possible
Hack Squats, just the first set is about the reps push yourself to 20 reps till failure,
#Squats i advise.. if you are up to it , go for a one rep max....force yourself into hypertension n rush the blood into the muscle some good all shock therapy builds strengh and mass.

Calves....
Well i do calves 3 times a week .... sometimes not on leg days but on the other days..
i reccommend... changing feet positions
(eg 10reps straight,8 toes in and 7 toes pionting out) thats 25reps in total.. anything under that isnt going to let your calves budge in size at all!!! dont do nothing under 15 reps when you want results from your calves!


Thanks for reading this forum and part 1 if u have any input let me know...critics are welcome!

ok do that but if you think you cant do calves after doing this routine i suggest doing calves first .

I said that because some people after doing my routine dont have much steam to push on to do calves... i sometmes find myself doing that ....

if anything, I'd train them on a different day... different strokes for different folks though

True.. but that was also said people who prefer to be more "textbook" although i know me and you share the same view when it comes to doing calves on another day...

I always kill quads and hams first before I kill calves. I can push hard on workouts for the quads/hams if i don't have to deal with dead calves. I only do two calve workouts, the standing and the seated raises and those dont need the quads/hams so its ok to kill em before.
