    Better Dubs...


    If trying to bring up my legs, would working them out every third day be a bad idea so long as I don't go crazy with volume... say 6 sets total a day?

    Your thread sounds like a newbie post

    As far as legs, I am liking the dc split with them working them Wednesday, then Monday, then Friday etc...

    I don't like it too much. I think twice a week is too much for legs. If you split it up lets say monday quads 8 sets and thursday hams 8 sets you might get some good results that way. My legs grow easy for me though. So I might not be the best person to ask.

    YOu could do conjugate split work out, upper body and lower body twice a weak, but not training to failure on your sets as to not stress your CNS too much. Go read up in the EXERCISE SCIENCE section.

    It's strange, for me 8 sets a day/week of Hack Squats and my strength increases from a week to week basis while in surplus.

    Yet, it does little for overall size.


    Recently, my route has consisted of 8 sets (twice a week), 16 total rotating between Hacks, Leg Presses, and Extensions.

    Squats are too much of a hassle and there seems to be too much of a weight differential in each leg to make curls beneficial.

    My workouts at a glance can be seen in my blog.

    You gotta figure a way to get them in man... start light or something.

    Meat and Potato's of building massive "dubs" to match the rest of the "whip"

    I know, but let's take squats outta tha equation...

    With what I can do, any suggestions?

    Maybe I should try some higher rep schemes for a while and concentrate on greater quad development.

    How about walking lunges with no pause from step to step?

    Thing is it's tough finding someone I trust, as well as someone who's totally comfortable with their sexuality.

    I agree here. These are a great exercise.

    I know squatting is out of the equation but try to rethink this Toad. Squatting is the best exercise for overall leg growth. If you can't do them its understandable but if its too much a hassle you might try to reevaluate.

    It's a balance thing, that's what screws me over.

    I thought about holding on to a walk or something, but then I'd only be able to carry so much.

    Even a weighted vest has limitations.
