  Working Legs more than once a week?

 Working Legs more than once a week?


I'm trying to get my legs really built and toned... Although i dont want to "overtrain" them i want to bust my ass.. Would working them maybe twice a week do more than good in your opinion??

more bad than good lol!?

More than likely Frisco you will be overtraining.Unless you keep overall volume ie sets,reps down.But I don,t think you want legs like a runningback right..lol.Once a week and keep volume high .
What does your leg routine consist of now, excercises and sets?

Wow that is alot of total sets for legs Frisco.Have you ever thought of just doing 4 basic excercises for legs at really high reps.You are using alot of energy in that routine.How bout
Barbell Squats /4 sets
Seated leg extensions/4sets
Lying leg curls/4sets
Stiff legged deads ,with ever so slight bend to the knees/4sets
Seated calf raise/ 3sets toes pointed in/3 sets toes pointed out/6sets
Go higher than ten on the reps no less than 15 reps per set
You can finish off with lunges /walking lunges

This the routine I am using
Change this routine up every 6/8 weeks and alternate excercises
Hope this helps
