New Leg Routine - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

SCJP · 01-04-2007, 05:30 PM

Currently I am doing the following routine for my legs:

Leg press, 5x5
Calf rotation/extension, 5x3
SLDL, 5x2 (second set 10% lighter than first)
DB stationary lunges, 5x5

I feel that I have hit a plateau, mentally as well as physically, & so plan to try the following from next week:

Barbell stationary lunges, 8x2
Single leg calf raises, 8x2
Proper deadlifts, 5x2 (second set 10% lighter than first)
Front squats, 8x2

Any comments?
