Leg Workout Routine Description and Instruction:
The thought of doing legs twice per week is daunting at first, but get past your fears, submit to our torture plan, and enjoy the results.
Rather than blasting your legs once per week (or god forbid skipping legs day), this routine has you focusing on a handful of exercises, then coming back 48-72 hours later and hitting your legs again with a few more exercises. Doing so the right way stimulates growth more quickly than the typical “on/off” routine.

This workout consists of a heavy (Workout A) and a light (Workout B) lower body workout (The “light” day includes barbell deadlifting, so it’s no vacation). Rest at least 48 hours between workouts and perform each workout once per week.
Directions:
- Use a weight that will allow you to complete only the listed number of reps.
- Rest 1-3 minutes between each exercise.
- Aside from the two supersets, perform all sets of one exercise before moving to the next. Exercises in the superset should be done one after another, but you should still take your standard rest time.

Superset | Weight Training Exercises | Sets x Reps |

Notes:
- Eat protein and carbohydrates both before and directly after each muscle building workout. A protein shake and a sports drink (not diet) or juice should suffice.
- Alter your muscle building workout as you see fit, but probably at least every 6 weeks. This is absolutely critical to your success. The more experienced you are, the more frequently you need to alter your strength training routine.
- Aside from a 5 minute warm-up, you will not be doing any cardio exercise on this workout program. Also do 25 fast bodyweight squats in your warm-up.
