Great Legs in Two Weeks

Sports & Athletic Performance Systems™

We all know that heavy leg training can be extremely tough and quite intimidating. Just take a quick look around your gym and you’ll probably see many muscular “upper bodybuilders” with solid chests and arms, but mediocre leg development. To be able to truly compete with the big boys, you’ve got to develop that classic “X frame” that’s synonymous with the hardcore bodybuilder’s ultimate physique. So as much as we may love training everything north of the waistline, training legs is extremely important. In fact, by adding compound leg exercises like squats to your training program, you’ll surely have the potential to add some quality mass to your entire lower body. That’s why I’ve developed a leg-training routine that you can use to help get you where you ought to be. So if you think you’ve got what it takes, give this routine a try, and then get ready to thank yourself when you notice your legs exploding with new growth.

Everything’s Bigger in Minnesota

It’s Nine o’clock in the morning and a sweltering 100°F in the heat of summer. Far from the glitz and glamour, smiling faces and fitness bands of the mega gym chains is the most hardcore gym in Elk River Minnesota, – arguably the most hardcore gym in the State.

I’m tucked in center of the gym training legs, but my groans can be heard from outside the gym. Today, I’ll load a squat rack with 600 hundhighlight cold iron and haul it up and down with so much force it’ll bend the bar. I’ll fill the leg press with so many plates it’ll take a calculator just to count how much I’m lifting. As I knock out mind-numbing set after set, the gym floor doubles as a wasteland for 45-pound plates.

Every leg workout is an all-out assault as I ruthlessly stacks more size onto my huge and striated wheels. My gargantuan quads already stretch the tape past 30 inches, but after any given leg workout they’ll swell with an extra inch of grainy, vascular size. Pushing weight that would leave mere mortals squeamish, I leave my muscles screaming for mercy, and then lumbers home as they continue to flood with growth-inducing blood, exploding with new size after every workout.

To build the freakiest legs in the sport, I follow these rules – gut-wrenching intensity and heavy weight! And now, I’ve made my very own program available for you. If you think you’re up to the challenge and are hardcore enough, try his program out. But a word of advice: it’s for die hard trainers only!

Training System

This is the Instinctive Training of Jesse J. Erving. It is the program, which I have found to be the most effective for my body. It is designed to add muscle size, and quite intense. Do the exercises as they are listed. You may find the program to be too much for you. If this is the case, cut back on the number of sets. You should feel refreshed at the end of your workout not exhausted. Rest 15 – 7 seconds to 30 seconds.

Squats:

The king of all leg exercises, squats are the all-essential mass building exercise. The principle is simple – rest as much weight as you can over your shoulders, lower your thighs within inches of the ground and then drive upward with so much force that it makes the plates rattle from across the gym. Remember to always keep your back straight and your chin parallel to the ground.

Seated Leg Curls:

You’ve already attacked your legs with four mind-numbing, growth-inducing sets. If you’re still standing, time for four more muscle building sets. Similar to lying leg curls, seated leg curls lock your legs into position and trigger growth directly onto your hamstrings. A few weeks worth of these and your Herculean hamstrings will command attention from all angles.

Leg Presses:

The leg press machine is a huge ego booster for any serious bodybuilder who wants to load up the sled with 45-pound plates to get noticed in the gym. Bring the weight as low as you can, but stop just before your hips begin to curl off the seat, then push the weight back up with your heels, as opposed to your toes. Also remember to stop just before locking out your knees at the top of the movement.

Close Stance Hack Squat:

Hack Squats are a great isolation exercise to target your quads. And Larry Scott knows how to build the strongest and best looking legs in the biz. Remember, it’s not about how much weight you put on, but how you perform the exercise. With the feet kept together during the entire movement. Like with the front squat, I recommend stopping just short of the lockout position.

Walking Lunges:

You can train your quads all you want, but if you don’t build up your hamstrings, your legs will disappear when you hit the side poses. The best way to hammer your hams with obscene size and thickness is with lunges. But even a simple lunge is meant to be hardcore. Outside in my gym’s parking lot, I hoists a barbell over my shoulders and performs walking lunges for the length of a football field … four times over!
