DB Lunges or Smith Split Squats- 2 sets of 20
Sissy Squats- 3 x failure(slow and deep, 8 to 10 reps)
Calf Raises- warmup then 100’s(a weight that you can do for 30-35 your first set, then 10 seconds of resting then continue doing sets until you get 100 total reps)
Optional- Single Leg Calves on Leg Press(20-30 rep range) for a burn

Hey… that looks like an intense workout!!!
It looks like you like to use machines over free weights and barbells?? 

I actually incorporate both.  I use Smith Squats, Leg Ex and Leg curls.  The remainder of the workout is done with free weights.  It’s a killer routine though! 

How long does it take you???

It takes me 45 minutes from start to finish.  I keep my rest down as much as possible at this point.  It all depends on how hard you feel like pushing yourself.  I’m currently 2 weeks and 5 days out so the rest has been decreased but still moving heavy weight.

looks like a great workout love the 45 minutes

gotta admit i put a lot more focus on big lifts and big barbell exercises over machines, but that does look like a hell of a workout. i love the glute ham raises!

since it looks like you do a lot of high rep leg work, have you ever thought of integrating step-ups? those can be brutal.

definitely a bodybuilders routine. sounds like a great mix of high rep stuff with some big lifts thrown in. how did you do in your shows?

I adjust rep scheme’s constantly and usually have a low rep/high rep combo in all my routines.  I love step-ups but haven’t done them in awhile.  I am currently 2/3 weeks out from my Shows.  After I wrap up this show season I will move to a Power Lifting routine for 4 weeks and clean bulk over the next few months.  Happy Lifting All!

Do you do this leg workout every week?  Every time you do legs?  This seems like a killer workout and I am going to try it out for sure!

No, I mix up my routines typically.  This was pre-contest and just a great routine.  I was FRIED.

ooch this looks like it hurts, no offense but this would personally be too much for me, I would never recover from it. However, that does not mean this is not a really good excercise.
