Here's a simple but super effective workout to build great looking and strong legs.
Let's get straight into it!
The workout:
Barbell Back Squats 3 x 6-8 reps
Harrop Curls 3 x 6-8 reps
Barbell Lunges 3 x 6-8 reps per leg
Single Leg Deadlifts 3 x 6-8 reps per leg
Calf Raises 3 x 6-8 reps Rest about 90 seconds between each set.
Barbell Back Squats - The king of all exercises. Has to be included in any program when the goal is to build muscle and strength. Do 3 sets of 6-8.
2. Harrop Curls - A very challenging exercise and one that focuses more on knee flexion. A lot of traditional
hamstring exercises don't get the same range of motion in the knee that the harrop curl does... So start easy! Do 3 sets of 6-8.
3. Barbell Lunge - Incorporating an exercise which works one side at a time is great for balance and symmetry.
Meaning your leg strength and looks will be more even Do 3 sets of 6-8 per leg.
4. Single Leg Deadlifts - See Barbell Lunge, but the deadlift hits the hamstrings more and improves balance
more so than even the lunges. Do 3 sets of 6-8 per leg.
5. Calf Raises - To complete a workout for every muscle in your legs and improve ankle strength and mobility. I
Would recommend doing this weighted if possible. Plus who doesn't love nice calves! Do 3 sets of 6-8.
I'd recommend doing this workout 1-2 times per week for 4-6 weeks and watch your legs grow!
