Stretching

  • Lower Back Stretch: 1 set of 6 reps, each side
  • Hamstring stretch (keeping legs straight): 1 set of 6 reps
  • Glute stretch: 1 set of 6 reps

Dorian's Tips: Active stretching doesn't weaken muscles.

  • Leg Extensions: 1 warm up set of 15 reps, 1 warm up set of 10-12 reps, 1 working set of 10-12 reps to failure, increasing desired weight (1 min rest between sets)

1 min rest

  • Leg Press: 2 warm up sets of 10-12 reps, 1 working set of 10-12 reps to failure, desired weight (1 min rest between sets)

Dorian's Tips: True failure means mental failure.

1 min rest

  • Hack Squat: 2 warm up sets of 10-12 reps, 1 working set of 10-12 reps to failure, desired weight (1 min rest between sets)

Dorian's Tips: Moderate Stance. Squat below parallel.

5 min rest. Recuperate and mentally prepare.

  • Seated Hamstring Curl:1 warm up set of 10-12 reps, 1 working set of 10-12 reps to failure, desired weight (1 min rest between sets)

Dorian's Tips: Have partner lift weight to exhaust negative.

1 min rest

  • Stiff-Legged Deadlift: 1 warm up set of 10-12 reps, 1 working set of 10-12 reps to failure, desired weight (1 min rest between sets)

Dorian's Tips: Only lower as far as a straight back allows. Don't use reverse grip. Hold bar with thumb.

1 min rest

  • Calf Press: 1 warm up set of 10-12 reps, 3 rest-pause sets to failure, desired weight (10-15 sec rest between sets)

Dorian's Tips: Perform rest-pause sets to push beyond failure.

1 min rest

  • Seated Calf Raise: 1 warm up set of 10-12 reps, 1 working set of 6-8 reps to failure, desired weight (1 min rest between sets)

Dorian's tips: Perform full extension and control when training calves. Cardio conditioning is needed to train to true failure. Pacing yourself doesn't push your body to grow.

Awesome. The most exhausting and mentally draining workout I've ever done. If you take your legs to true failure, it is brutal, yet so rewarding. So much oxygen was in my legs that I began to feel lightheaded and nearly threw up. I now know how to train legs like a man.

If you're doing it right, you won't need to add anything at all. Get a training partner who will make sure you go to failure and help with things like Negatives and Drop sets

Trevor you can do barbell hack squats (on exercise data base) and you could do front squats, but the problem with that is its hard to bring your quads to failure without being squashed by the bar.

Good luck
