Short But Effective Leg Workout Routine - Maximize Your Results While Minimizing Your Time At The Gym
Saturday August 5, 2006
It is a huge misconception that one needs to live at the gym to achieve awesome bodybuilding results. Many times I have been in situations when I do not have alot of time to train. In cases like this, you need to make sure that you:
- Perform a routine that stimulates as many muscle fibers as possible within the short amount of time that you can spend at the gym.
- Ensure that all sets are performed with impeccable technique and taken to failure since workout volume (the total amount of sets done) will be small; muscular failure being defined as the absolute last repetition that can be performed in good form.

You can make it even quicker if you use High Intensity Training like Mike Mentzer touts. After a warmup set, 1 set of 10 reps per exercise to failure - whether positive failure, static failure or negatives.
warm up sets waste time and do nothing for you. make it count, there is no need for a warm up set. lift heavy.
Why start off with leg extension? Why not squat first so you get that as much as possible, then go to failure on calf raises? Seems better, since going to failure on the squats is dangerous.
