I watch the Muscle and Fitness videos from time to time to pick up pointers I may have missed and to get myself pumped up a bit when I have been feeling extra worn out from my workouts. Even here on BB.com I watch Charkess Glass anytime I get a chance. A lot of time it is the motivational benefits that you get out of the program that gives you the best bang.

Warm up about 3 sets of leg extention and leg curls. This gets your blood flowing . On your squat your not lifitng enough weight. Try to increase this. At least 115 to 125 lbs you will be suprised. do up 4 to 6 sets. smith machine is ok, while your there do some toe raises for calfs. Leg press weight is really good. See the difference if you can press 300 lbs than you should be squating at least 125 lbs. while your at the press do your calves. Calves can be worked more as they are fast twitch . Your dead lifts can be done with a barbell. It's weight is 45 lbs, just increase the weight. If your not burning enough do lunges, lunges ,lunges, lunges and squating give you the ass you want. Use a bar , dumbells or the smith machine. If you limit your workouts to only a few excersizes you concentrate more and your really less stressed. Happy lifting. :) OK no cardio before leg routine and no cardio the day after.

I'm so sick of peeing and eating anymore I wonder if I'm really going to be able to do it or have a nerouvous breakdown from drinking gallons of water and eating chicken and eggs.

My body has taken first place of work and everyone else. And if I can get off work early to go and train and I'm out of the gym before 8pm, I'm so excited because I don't know what to do and I suddenly have all this time - last couple times it has happened, I was too tired to do anything so I went to bed early. Your looking good, keep going! Good post…I get that way. My body has taken first place of work and everyone else.

I would suggest drop the first 2 exercises and replace them with heavy sumo squats or ATG squats rep (not on the smith), Put in deads, or front squats (heavy as you can) or Hack squats, then you move into the finishing exercises SLDLs, Leg Curls, or GHR's (choosing only 2 of these), Calves: I would do donkey and standing. You can check out my blog for example of routine and rep schemes. Using a varied rep scheme also, see bottom for explanation, would be varied one week doing low reps (3-5) heavy weight (3-5 sets), next week would be moderate weight and reps (6-10) and sets (2-3), then low weight and high reps (12-15 sometimes 20) in sets of (1-2) with the rest periods on heavys from 1-2mins and moderate atleast 1minute, high 30sec - 1min Hope this helps you out.

Trying but I think I need to start hitting legs more than 1/2 times a week because I can't ever get them to burn. But they give out if I go too long and I have problems with my knee and ankle so I try to not over do it. Ps I'm really hard to offend, lol Yeah those are my roughest spots just started holding weight there actually it came with 25y/o inner thighs are hard too.
