Leg workouts

katy_trail

Post your killer leg workout. It takes a lot to challenge my legs, so I'm always looking for new workouts.

OK, I'll start. Alternate running stair sprints and squats with dumbells that are challenging for you. Do rounds of that as long as you can.

I do each at a percentage of my body weight.
So for examle ,I weigh 250
so if i do exercise at 50%, I've added 125lbs.

sets x reps

3x8 Front barbell squats 25%
30 seconds Then split jumps (no additional weight)
3x5 Then jump squats 50%
5x3 Then power cleans 50%
2x8 Stiff legged deadlifts 60%
5x2 Sumo Deadlifts 110%
3x10 Calf raises 200%

so if you weigh 250, you're lifting 500 doing calf raises? that doesn't sound possible.

2x bodyweight is hardly remarkable for calf raises.
