Build Trunks with this Leg Superset Work Out

I have a confession to make. I don’t like doing leg workouts very much.

The plus side is I develop leg muscles pretty fast but it’s not without a boatload of effort. You see, that’s the thing with leg workouts … it requires a lot of effort, especially working out quadriceps (“quads”). Is there anything more gut-wrenching than squats and deadlifts? I think not.

While regular leg workouts are brutal, I like to step up it up a notch with same-muscle supersets. That’s what this leg work out is all about … it’s a same-muscle superset workout. What this means is each set is comprised of 2 leg exercises performed back-to-back with no rest (but you do rest in between supersets). It’s brutal, but effective.

Here it is … Fitness Baron’s brutal same-muscle leg superset routine:

Quadriceps

Superset 1

• Squats: 12 reps / 10 / 10 / 8 / 8
• Leg Extensions: 12 / 10 / 10 / 8 / 8

Superset 2

• Leg Press: 12 / 10 / 10 / 8 / 8
• BB Lunches: 12 / 10 / 10 / 8 / 8

• Smith Machine Squats (narrow stance): 12 / 10 / 10
• Jump Squats (to max – 3 sets).

Hamstrings

Superset 1

• Straight Leg Deadlifts: 12 / 10 / 10 / 8 / 8
• Leg Curls: 12 / 10 / 10 / 8 / 8

Superset 2

• Single Leg Curls: 12 / 10 / 10 / 8 / 8
• Do one leg at a time. Not combined with another exercise.

Calves

Superset 1

• Calf Extensions on Leg Press Machine: 15 / 12 / 12 / 10 / 10
• Seated Calf Extensions: 15 / 12 / 12 / 10 / 10

Superset 2

• Single Leg Standing Calf Raises (hold DB for additional weight if necessary): 5 / 12 / 12 / 10 / 10
• Do one leg at a time – no other exercise combined with this.

That’s it. It’s a fairly long leg routine. Do it for 6 to 12 weeks then change it up.
