Super Growth Old School Hardcore Leg Routine - REVAMPED!!!

You want legs that don't just look strong, but are strong. You’re not here for machine only circuits or some other bullshit trendy nonsense. You’re here to put in the work. This program is built on the timeless principles that forged some of the greatest physiques, past or present: progressive overload, brutal volume, and unwavering consistency. Forget "feeling the fucking burn" - this is about building a foundation of two granite pillar!.

This is a 12-week growth cycle, split into three distinct phases designed to systematically shock your legs into new growth.

The 12-Week Leg Annihilation Cycle

LETS GET IT ON!!!!

Phase 1: Weeks 1-4 - The Foundation

Goal: Forge a base of raw strength and condition your body for the war to come. This phase is about mastering the basics under heavy load.

Workout: The Core Four

  • Barbell Back Squats: 2 warm-up sets, then 4 working sets of 10 reps (85-90% of your max)
  • Leg Press: 4 sets of 12 reps (85-90% of max)
  • Free-Standing Hack Squats: 3 sets of 8 reps (65% of max - focus on form and depth)
  • Straight-Legged Deadlifts: 4 sets of 15 reps (75% of max - hammer those hamstrings and glutes)
  • Lying/Seated Leg Curls: 3 sets of 12-15 reps - Squeeze at the top and lower under control
  • Standing Calf Raises: 4 sets of 15-20 reps
  • Seated Calf Raises: 4 sets to failure (squeeze at the top for peak contraction)

Phase 2: Weeks 5-8 - The Shock

Goal: With legs trained only once per week, we unleash an all-out assault. This workout is designed to be overwhelming. Embrace the pain.

Workout: The Gauntlet

  • Barbell Back Squats: 2 warm-up sets, then 5 working sets to deliver 120 reps (80-90% of max 120 seconds rest between sets - this is where mental fortitude is built) It doesn't matter if you get 25 reps on the first set - you have 5 set to get those 120+ reps - yeah you don't stop just cause you hit 120, you stop when you exceed 120 reps - 120 is just the floor!!!!!
  • Leg Press (Different Angle): 5 sets of 12 reps (90% of max) (Adjust seat back to sit high one week and low the other to hit different angles, while keeping the feet low on the platform to stress the quads and not the hamstrings!)
  • Walking Lunges: 4 sets of 12 steps per leg (no cheating—deep stretch, powerful push)
  • Lying Leg Curls: 3 sets of 10 reps (80% of max)
  • Straight-Legged Deadlifts: 3 sets of 15 reps (75% of max)
  • Standing Calf Raises: 5 sets of 20 reps
  • Seated Calf Raises: 4 sets to failure

Phase 3: Weeks 9-12 - The Grind & Confusion

Goal: Training six days a week, you'll hit legs twice with contrasting routines. This "muscle confusion" refines detail and sparks new growth through intensity techniques.

Workout 3A: Heavy & Deep (Mid-Week)

  • Barbell Back Squats: 2 warm-up sets, then 4 working sets of 12 reps (85% of max - go **DEEP**)
  • Hack Squats: 5 sets of 10 reps (75-80% of max)
  • Leg Press: 4 sets of 10 reps (85% of max)
  • Walking Lunges: 3 sets of 12 steps per leg
  • Straight-Legged Deadlifts: 4 sets of 12 reps (80% of max)
  • Standing Calf Raises: 5 sets of 15-20 reps
  • Seated Calf Raises: 3 sets to failure

Workout 3B: High-Volume Assault (Weekend)

  • Superset: Squats + Leg Press: 5 supersets. 15 reps of Squats (60% max) immediately followed by 15 reps on the Leg Press (60% max). Rest after the leg press.
  • Hack Squats: 5 sets of 20 reps (65% of max - no rest-pauses, full sets)
  • Superset: Lunges + S.L. Deadlifts: 5 supersets. 20 reps of Lunges (total) immediately followed by 20 reps of S.L. Deadlifts (50% max).
  • Giant Set for Calves: Standing Calf Raises x15 -> Seated Calf Raises x15 -> Bodyweight Calf Raises to failure. Rest. Repeat for 3 total rounds.

After Week 12, take yourself a weeks rest before returning to Phase 1 and begin the cycle again, aiming to lift heavier than before. This training scheme is followed for all body parts as shown by the training schedule so recovery of the CNS is very important!
